[RFC net-next v11 2/2] mptcp: hide seq counters without net_admin
From: Kalpan Jani
Date: Wed Oct 28 2026 - 04:28:40 EST
The MPTCP inet-diag response includes data sequence numbers that
should not be exposed to users without CAP_NET_ADMIN.
Clear mptcpi_write_seq, mptcpi_snd_una and mptcpi_rcv_nxt in diagnostic
responses for unprivileged users. Apply this restriction in the
inet-diag callback, leaving the MPTCP_INFO getsockopt path unchanged.
