[PATCH net 3/5] mptcp: process pending subflow error on close

From: Matthieu Baerts
Date: Sat Sep 16 2023 - 06:55:00 EST


From: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@xxxxxxxxxx>

On incoming TCP reset, subflow closing could happen before error
propagation. That in turn could cause the socket error being ignored,
and a missing socket state transition, as reported by Daire-Byrne.

Address the issues explicitly checking for subflow socket error at
close time. To avoid code duplication, factor-out of __mptcp_error_report()
a new helper implementing the relevant bits.

Closes: https://github.com/multipath-tcp/mptcp_net-next/issues/429
Fixes: 15cc10453398 ("mptcp: deliver ssk errors to msk")
