[PATCH net 01/10] mptcp: fix missing wakeups in edge scenarios

From: Matthieu Baerts (NGI0)

Date: Sun May 31 2026 - 23:12:41 EST


From: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@xxxxxxxxxx>

The mptcp_recvmsg() can fill MPTCP socket receive queue via
mptcp_move_skbs(), but currently does not try to wakeup any listener,
because the same process is going to check the receive queue soon.

When multiple threads are reading from the same fd, the above can
cause stall. Add the missing wakeup.

Fixes: 6771bfd9ee24 ("mptcp: update mptcp ack sequence from work queue")
