Merge branch 'MPTCP-improve-fallback-to-TCP'
Davide Caratti says:
====================
MPTCP: improve fallback to TCP
there are situations where MPTCP sockets should fall-back to regular TCP:
this series reworks the fallback code to pursue the following goals:
1) cleanup the non fallback code, removing most of 'if (<fallback>)' in
the data path
2) improve performance for non-fallback sockets, avoiding locks in poll()
further work will also leverage on this changes to achieve:
a) more consistent behavior of gestockopt()/setsockopt() on passive sockets
after fallback
b) support for "infinite maps" as per RFC8684, section 3.7
the series is made of the following items:
- patch 1 lets sendmsg() / recvmsg() / poll() use the main socket also
after fallback
- patch 2 fixes 'simultaneous connect' scenario after fallback. The
problem was present also before the rework, but the fix is much easier
to implement after patch 1
- patch 3, 4, 5 are clean-ups for code that is no more needed after the
fallback rework
- patch 6 fixes a race condition between close() and poll(). The problem
was theoretically present before the rework, but it became almost
systematic after patch 1
