[PATCH mptcp-net v3] mptcp: don't account accept() of non-MPC client as fallback to TCP
Posted by Davide Caratti 1 year, 11 months ago 
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")

Hi Davide -

Changes to the C code LGTM. See below regarding the self test.

This prints:

[FAIL] pure TCP counted as fallback (expect:%d, got:%d) 0 1

which I don't think is what you intended


I confirmed the test does fail on a Fedora 6.7.9 kernel (as it should, it 
caught the old behavior).

yes I forgot to convert the old argument I used with printf: will fix
that in v4.

Thinking out loud with Matthieu: those "if" tests on client and server
protocol can be removed, mptcp_connect is not expected to fallback to
TCP at all in that scenario. So, whatever 4 combinations you can make
out of $cl_proto and $srv_proto, that MIB shall not have an increment.
