There is a newer version of this series
[mptcp-next v2 1/7] mptcp: push ad DSS boundaries
Posted by Paolo Abeni 6 months, 4 weeks ago
when inserting not contiguous data in the subflow write queue,
the protocol creates a new skb and prevent the TCP stack from
merging it later with already queued skbs by setting the EOR marker.

Still no push flag is explicitly set at the end of previous GSO
packet, making the aggregation on the receiver side sub-optimal -
and packetdrill self-tests less predictable.

Explicitly mark the end of not contiguous DSS with the push flag.

Fixes: 6d0060f600ad ("mptcp: Write MPTCP DSS headers to outgoing data packets")

As long as I'm asking for other changes that require a v3 spin, please 
also change this commit title to "push at..."

Thanks!
