[PATCH net 5/5] mptcp: fix dangling connection hang-up

From: Matthieu Baerts
Date: Sat Sep 16 2023 - 06:54:59 EST


From: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@xxxxxxxxxx>

According to RFC 8684 section 3.3:

A connection is not closed unless [...] or an implementation-specific
connection-level send timeout.

Currently the MPTCP protocol does not implement such timeout, and
connection timing-out at the TCP-level never move to close state.

Introduces a catch-up condition at subflow close time to move the
MPTCP socket to close, too.

That additionally allows removing similar existing inside the worker.

Finally, allow some additional timeout for plain ESTABLISHED mptcp
sockets, as the protocol allows creating new subflows even at that
point and making the connection functional again.

This issue is actually present since the beginning, but it is basically
impossible to solve without a long chain of functional pre-requisites
topped by commit bbd49d114d57 ("mptcp: consolidate transition to
TCP_CLOSE in mptcp_do_fastclose()"). When backporting this current
patch, please also backport this other commit as well.

Closes: https://github.com/multipath-tcp/mptcp_net-next/issues/430
Fixes: e16163b6e2b7 ("mptcp: refactor shutdown and close")
