[PATCH mptcp-net v2 03/11] mptcp: only reset subflow errors when propagated
Posted by Matthieu Baerts (NGI0) 2 weeks ago
Some subflow socket errors need to be reported to the MPTCP socket: the
initial subflow connect (MP_CAPABLE), and the ones from the fallback
sockets. The others are not propagated.

The issue is that sock_error() was used to retrieve the error, which was
also resetting the sk_err field. Because of that, when notifying the
userspace about subflow close events later on from the MPTCP worker, the
ssk->sk_err field was always 0.

Now, the error (sk_err) is only reset when propagating it to the msk.

Fixes: 15cc10453398 ("mptcp: deliver ssk errors to msk")

Note: I guess we could also duplicate the error in mptcp_subflow_context
  struct before scheduling the worker, and use this field in
  mptcp_event_put_token_and_ssk(), but I don't see why we should always
  reset ssk->sk_err in __mptcp_subflow_error_report() in all cases.
v2: keep 'err' variable (Geliang)
