Posted by Matthieu Baerts (NGI0) 2 months, 2 weeks ago

Here are some patches related to MPTCP, mainly to control features that
will be in the future v6.18.

- Patch 1: add an entry in the MAINTAINERS file for MPTCP.

- Patch 2: fix two minor typos in the man page.

- Patch 3: add laminar endpoint support.

- Patches 4-6: display missing attributes & flags in 'ip mptcp monitor'.

applied to iproute2-next.

Patches should always be against top of tree - no assumptions. I had to
fixup the first patch of this set which puts work on me.

Thank you!

I'm sorry about that!

These patches were on top of iproute2.git (not next) because they were
controlling features available in v6.18 (or older), but not only in net-next.

Should I maybe next time not prefix such patches with [iproute2-net] but
only [iproute2]?

Cheers,
Matt

iproute2-main is the bug fix and release tree. It is not for features.

iproute2-next is the development and feature tree. If features are to
sync with kernel side merges, then the patches need to show up at the
same time.
