[PATCH mptcp-next v2] mptcp: add a new sysctl for make after break timeout
Posted by Paolo Abeni 8 months ago
The MPTCP protocol allows sockets with no alive subflows to stay
in ESTABLISHED status for and user-defined timeout, to allow for
later subflows creation.

Currently such timeout is constant - TCP_TIMEWAIT_LEN. Let the
user-space configure them via a newly added sysctl, to better cope
with busy servers and simplify (make them faster) the relevant
pktdrill tests.

Note that the new know does not apply to orphaned MPTCP socket
waiting for the data_fin handshake completion: they always wait
TCP_TIMEWAIT_LEN.

There's some logic to also fix up in __mptcp_close_ssk()'s SOCK_DEAD code 
path, one lingering instance of TCP_TIMEWAIT_LEN there to switch to 
mptcp_close_timeout().

Right you are! thanks for catching that. I'll swap the sock_flag and
mptcp_set_close_tout() to ensure the timeout is always consistent.

Thanks,

You are using spaces for these 3 lines, the rest is OK using tabs. Did
you switch to EMACS? :-D

I can do the modification when applying the patch (if I don't forget :) )

(just to be sure not to miss the idea which is probably not interesting)
No need to accept negatives values and use -1 as a special case not to
close "subflow-less" MPTCP connections?

I would prefer not adding special values. I think a large enough close
timeout could be really indistinguishable from "infinity" here.
