This series is a follow-up the discussion ongoing here:

https://github.com/multipath-tcp/mptcp_net-next/issues/437

Daire reported several sub-optimal MPTCP behaviour on high-latency
links.

At least 3 different items stands off:

* notsent_lowat setting fooling the scheduler
* sub-optimal send buffer autotuning
* delayed acks being de-facto disabled due to subflow rcvlowat

This series is an attempt to address the first 2 points above.

v4 -> v5:
 - dealing with Mat feedback in patch 1/4 and 4/4

v3 -> v4:
 - added patch 1/4, fixing a pre-existing issue related. That patch
   should likely go via -net, included here because the issue can not
   manifest itself until patch 4/4.
   Despite by best attempt to test this, I thing it would be easier
   to just lest syzkaller crunch it more than a bit.

v2 -> v3:
 - avoid ingremental updates, always recompute sum(ssk->sndbuf) to avoid
   drift on memory pressure/decrease
 - add some needed comments

v1 -> v2:
 - fixed compiler warning in patch 3/3 && more local testing

Paolo Abeni (4):
  mptcp: fix delegated action races.
  mptcp: consolidate sockopt synchronization
  mptcp: ignore notsent_lowat setting at the subflow level.
  mptcp: refactor sndbuf auto-tuning.

Thank you for this nice series and the reviews!

Now in our tree: the first patch has been added in "fixes for -net" and
the rest in "feat. for net-next".

Please note that I had a small conflict in patch 3/4, a conflict with
"mptcp: give rcvlowat some love" from your other series I applied first.

New patches for t/upstream-net and t/upstream:
- 24f95a78eca5: mptcp: fix delegated action races
- Results: d92d8f5c2b45..50606b0ed27d (export-net)

New patches for t/upstream:
- b17ad6bb5a17: mptcp: consolidate sockopt synchronization
- f1f975d21614: mptcp: ignore notsent_lowat setting at the subflow level
- 5bc3584d46b5: mptcp: refactor sndbuf auto-tuning
- Results: f2baa63004ad..7221fbbb862a (export)

Tests are now in progress:

Cheers,
