[PATCH net 3/3] mptcp: prevent excessive coalescing on receive

From: Matthieu Baerts (NGI0)
Date: Mon Dec 30 2024 - 13:13:35 EST


From: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@xxxxxxxxxx>

Currently the skb size after coalescing is only limited by the skb
layout (the skb must not carry frag_list). A single coalesced skb
covering several MSS can potentially fill completely the receive
buffer. In such a case, the snd win will zero until the receive buffer
will be empty again, affecting tput badly.

Fixes: 8268ed4c9d19 ("mptcp: introduce and use mptcp_try_coalesce()")
Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # please delay 2 weeks after 6.13-final release
