[MPTCP next 04/12] mptcp: introduce the mptcp_init_skb helper.
Posted by Paolo Abeni 23 hours ago
Factor out all the skb initialization step in a new helper and
use it. Note that this change moves the MPTCP CB initialization
earlier: we can do such step as soon as the skb leaves the
subflow socket receive queues.

Hi Paolo,

Thanks for this patch. I've left some minor cleanup comments below.

subflow and ssk parameters are redundant, we can just use ssk.

skb_orphan(skb) call was moved from here to after mptcp_init_skb(), but
was then completely removed in patch 11. I'm a bit confused by this. I
think it might be better to retain skb_orphan(skb) call here. Or
perhaps the addition of skb_dst_drop(skb) has made skb_orphan(skb)
unnecessary. I'd like to consult on this point.

The parameter 'msk' was changed to 'struct sock *sk' in patch 9. We can
directly adopt 'struct sock *sk' here as well.

Thanks,
