[PATCH net-next v2 0/6] mptcp: implement .read_sock and .splice_read
From: Matthieu Baerts (NGI0)
Date: Fri Jan 30 2026 - 14:24:50 EST
This series is a preparation work for future in-kernel MPTCP sockets
usage. Here, two interfaces are implemented: read_sock and splice_read.
As a result of this series, splice() with MPTCP sockets -- which was
already supported -- is now improved.
- Patches 1-2: .read_sock implementation
- Patches 3-4: .splice_read implementation
- Patches 5-6: validate splice() support with MPTCP sockets.
