[PATCH net 08/14] mptcp: pm: reset retrans_time when ADD_ADDR entry is reused
From: Matthieu Baerts (NGI0)
Date: Mon Aug 24 2026 - 12:58:06 EST
When an ADD_ADDR entry is reused, the timer is re-armed, because the
goal is to re-announce an ADD_ADDR, and eventually retransmit it if
needed.
In this case, the retransmission counter should be reset as well, so the
re-announced address gets its retransmissions back instead of relying on
what was left before, and possibly not being able to retransmit it.
Fixes: 304ab97f4c7c ("mptcp: allow ADD_ADDR reissuance by userspace PMs")
