[PATCH net 1/7] mptcp: sched: check both directions for backup

From: Matthieu Baerts (NGI0)
Date: Sat Jul 27 2024 - 06:03:55 EST


The 'mptcp_subflow_context' structure has two items related to the
backup flags:

- 'backup': the subflow has been marked as backup by the other peer

- 'request_bkup': the backup flag has been set by the host

Before this patch, the scheduler was only looking at the 'backup' flag.
That can make sense in some cases, but it looks like that's not what we
wanted for the general use, because either the path-manager was setting
both of them when sending an MP_PRIO, or the receiver was duplicating
the 'backup' flag in the subflow request.

Note that the use of these two flags in the path-manager are going to be
fixed in the next commits, but this change here is needed not to modify
the behaviour.
