[PATCH 5.10.y] mptcp: don't account accept() of non-MPC client as fallback to TCP
Posted by Matthieu Baerts (NGI0) 4 weeks, 1 day ago
From: Davide Caratti <dcaratti@redhat.com>

Current MPTCP servers increment MPTcpExtMPCapableFallbackACK when they
accept non-MPC connections. As reported by Christoph, this is "surprising"
because the counter might become greater than MPTcpExtMPCapableSYNRX.

MPTcpExtMPCapableFallbackACK counter's name suggests it should only be
incremented when a connection was seen using MPTCP options, then a
fallback to TCP has been done. Let's do that by incrementing it when
the subflow context of an inbound MPC connection attempt is dropped.
Also, update mptcp_connect.sh kselftest, to ensure that the
above MIB does not increment in case a pure TCP client connects to a
MPTCP server.

Fixes: fc518953bc9c ("mptcp: add and use MIB counter infrastructure")

Notes:
  - Conflicts in protocol.c: because commit 8e2b8a9fa512 ("mptcp: don't
    overwrite sock_ops in mptcp_is_tcpsk()") is not in this version, but
    it depends on new features, making it hard to be backported, while
    the conflict resolution is easy: just remove the MIB incrementation
    from the previous location.
  - Conflicts in subflow.c: because commit a88d0092b24b ("mptcp:
    simplify subflow_syn_recv_sock()") is not in this version, but it
    depends on new features, making it hard to be backported, while the
    conflict resolution is easy: just move the MIB incrementation where
    the subflow context is dropped (fallback to TCP).
  - Conflicts in mptcp_connect.sh: because commit e3aae1098f10
    ("selftests: mptcp: connect: fix shellcheck warnings") and commit
    e7c42bf4d320 ("selftests: mptcp: use += operator to append strings")
    are not in this version. The dependency chain looks too long, and
    probably not worth it trying to resolve the conflicts here when many
    CIs use the selftests from the last stable version, not this old
    stable one.
