[PATCH net 0/4] mptcp: misc. fixes involving fallback to TCP

From: Matthieu Baerts (NGI0)
Date: Tue Oct 08 2024 - 07:06:51 EST


- Patch 1: better handle DSS corruptions from a bugged peer: reducing
warnings, doing a fallback or a reset depending on the subflow state.
For >= v5.7.

- Patch 2: fix DSS corruption due to large pmtu xmit, where MPTCP was
not taken into account. For >= v5.6.

- Patch 3: fallback when MPTCP opts are dropped after the first data
packet, instead of resetting the connection. For >= v5.6.

- Patch 4: restrict the removal of a subflow to other closing states, a
better fix, for a recent one. For >= v5.10.
