2026-03-25MPTCP: fix lock class name family in pm_nl_create_listen_socketLi Xiasong1-1/+1
[ Upstream commit 7ab4a7c5d969642782b8a5b608da0dd02aa9f229 ] In mptcp_pm_nl_create_listen_socket(), use entry->addr.family instead of sk->sk_family for lock class setup. The 'sk' parameter is a netlink socket, not the MPTCP subflow socket being created.

This later causes a splat when removing the MPTCP endpoint because msk->pm.local_addr_used has been kept to 0. Now, if an endpoint has both the signal and subflow flags, but it is not possible to create subflows because of the limits or the c-flag case, then the local endpoint counter is still incremented: the endpoint is used at the end. This avoids issues later when removing the endpoint and calling __mark_subflow_endp_available(), which expects msk->pm.local_addr_used to have been previously incremented if the endpoint was marked as used according to msk->pm.id_avail_bitmap. Note that signal_and_subflow variable is reset to false when the limits and the c-flag case allows subflows creation. Also, local_addr_used is only incremented for non ID0 subflows.

When removing an endpoint, the corresponding endpoint ID was only marked as available for "signal" types with an announced address, plus all "subflow" types, but not the other types like an endpoint corresponding to the initial subflow. In these cases, re-creating an endpoint with the same ID didn't signal/create anything. Here, adding the fullmesh flag was creating the splat when calling __mark_subflow_endp_available() from mptcp_pm_nl_fullmesh(), because msk->pm.local_addr_used was set to 0 while the ID was marked as used. To fix this issue, the corresponding bit in msk->pm.id_avail_bitmap can always be set as available when removing an MPTCP in-kernel endpoint. In other words, moving the call to __set_bit() to do it in all cases, except for "subflow" types where this bit is handled in a dedicated helper. Note: instead of adding a new spin_(un)lock_bh that would be taken in all cases, do all the actions requiring the spin lock under the same block. This modification potentially fixes another issue reported by syzbot, see [1]. But without a reproducer or more details about what exactly happened before, it is hard to confirm.

2025-10-22mptcp: pm: in-kernel: C-flag: handle late ADD_ADDRMatthieu Baerts (NGI0)1-0/+6
The special C-flag case expects the ADD_ADDR to be received when switching to 'fully-established'. But for various reasons, the ADD_ADDR could be sent after the "4th ACK", and the special case doesn't work. On NIPA, the new test validating this special case for the C-flag failed a few times, e.g. 102 default limits, server deny join id 0 syn rx [FAIL] got 0 JOIN[s] syn rx expected 2 Server ns stats (...) MPTcpExtAddAddrTx 1 MPTcpExtEchoAdd 1 Client ns stats (...) MPTcpExtAddAddr 1 MPTcpExtEchoAddTx 1 synack rx [FAIL] got 0 JOIN[s] synack rx expected 2 ack rx [FAIL] got 0 JOIN[s] ack rx expected 2 join Rx [FAIL] see above syn tx [FAIL] got 0 JOIN[s] syn tx expected 2 join Tx [FAIL] see above I had a suspicion about what the issue could be: the ADD_ADDR might have been received after the switch to the 'fully-established' state. The issue was not easy to reproduce. The packet capture shown that the ADD_ADDR can indeed be sent with a delay, and the client would not try to establish subflows to it as expected. A simple fix is not to mark the endpoints as 'used' in the C-flag case, when looking at creating subflows to the remote initial IP address and port. In this case, there is no need to try. Note: newly added fullmesh endpoints will still continue to be used as expected, thanks to the conditions behind mptcp_pm_add_addr_c_flag_case.

2025-09-27mptcp: pm: in-kernel: add laminar endpointsMatthieu Baerts (NGI0)1-0/+82
Currently, upon the reception of an ADD_ADDR (and when the fullmesh flag is not used), the in-kernel PM will create new subflows using the local address the routing configuration will pick. It would be easier to pick local addresses from a selected list of endpoints, and use it only once, than relying on routing rules. Use case: both the client (C) and the server (S) have two addresses (a and b). The client establishes the connection between C(a) and S(a). Once established, the server announces its additional address S(b). Once received, the client connects to it using its second address C(b). Compared to a situation without the 'laminar' endpoint for C(b), the client didn't use this address C(b) to establish a subflow to the server's primary address S(a). So at the end, we have: C S C(a) --- S(a) C(b) --- S(b) In case of a 3rd address on each side (C(c) and S(c)), upon the reception of an ADD_ADDR with S(c), the client should not pick C(b) because it has already been used. C(c) should then be used. Note that this situation is currently possible if C doesn't add any endpoint, but configure the routing in order to pick C(b) for the route to S(b), and pick C(c) for the route to S(c). That doesn't sound very practical because it means knowing in advance the IP addresses that will be used and announced by the server. 'laminar', like the idea of laminar flows: the different subflows don't mix with each other on an endpoint, unlike the "turbulent" way traffic is mixed by 'fullmesh'.

2025-09-27mptcp: pm: in-kernel: compare IDs instead of addressesMatthieu Baerts (NGI0)1-38/+44
When receiving an ADD_ADDR right after the 3WHS, the connection will switch to 'fully established'. It means the MPTCP worker will be called to treat two events, in this order: ADD_ADDR_RECEIVED, PM_ESTABLISHED. The MPTCP endpoints cannot have the ID 0, because it is reserved to the address and port used by the initial subflow. To be able to deal with this case in different places, msk->mpc_endpoint_id contains the endpoint ID linked to the initial subflow. This variable was only set when treating the first PM_ESTABLISHED event, after ADD_ADDR_RECEIVED. That's why in fill_local_addresses_vec(), the endpoint addresses were compared with the one of the initial subflow, instead of only comparing the IDs. Instead, msk->mpc_endpoint_id is now set when treating ADD_ADDR_RECEIVED as well, if needed, then the IDs can be compared. To be able to do so, the code doing that is now in a dedicated helper, and called from the functions linked to the two actions. While at it, mptcp_endp_get_local_id() has also been moved up, next to this new helper, because they are linked, and to be able to use it in fill_local_addresses_vec() in the next commit.

2025-09-27mptcp: pm: in-kernel: reduce pernet struct sizeMatthieu Baerts (NGI0)1-36/+23
All the 'unsigned int' variables from the 'pm_nl_pernet' structure are bounded to MPTCP_PM_ADDR_MAX, currently set to 8. The endpoint ID is also bounded by the protocol to 8-bit. MPTCP_PM_ADDR_MAX, if extended later, will never over 8-bit. So no need to use 'unsigned int' variables, 'u8' is enough. Note that the exposed counters in MPTCP_INFO are already limited to 8-bit, same for pm->extra_subflows, and others. So it seems even better to limit them to 8-bit.

2025-09-27mptcp: pm: in-kernel: usable client side with C-flagMatthieu Baerts (NGI0)1-1/+49
When servers set the C-flag in their MP_CAPABLE to tell clients not to create subflows to the initial address and port, clients will likely not use their other endpoints. That's because the in-kernel path-manager uses the 'subflow' endpoints to create subflows only to the initial address and port. If the limits have not been modified to accept ADD_ADDR, the client doesn't try to establish new subflows. If the limits accept ADD_ADDR, the routing routes will be used to select the source IP. The C-flag is typically set when the server is operating behind a legacy Layer 4 load balancer, or using anycast IP address. Clients having their different 'subflow' endpoints setup, don't end up creating multiple subflows as expected, and causing some deployment issues. A special case is then added here: when servers set the C-flag in the MPC and directly sends an ADD_ADDR, this single ADD_ADDR is accepted. The 'subflows' endpoints will then be used with this new remote IP and port. This exception is only allowed when the ADD_ADDR is sent immediately after the 3WHS, and makes the client switching to the 'fully established' mode. After that, 'select_local_address()' will not be able to find any subflows, because 'id_avail_bitmap' will be filled in mptcp_pm_create_subflow_or_signal_addr(), when switching to 'fully established' mode.

2025-03-10mptcp: pm: split in-kernel PM specific codeMatthieu Baerts (NGI0)1-0/+1410
Before this patch, the PM code was dispersed in different places: - pm.c had common code for all PMs - pm_netlink.c was supposed to be about the in-kernel PM, but also had exported common Netlink helpers, NL events for PM userspace daemons, etc. quite confusing. To clarify the code, a reorganisation is suggested here, only by moving code around to avoid confusions: - pm_netlink.c now only contains common PM Netlink code: - PM events: this code was already there - shared helpers around Netlink code that were already there as well - more shared Netlink commands code from pm.c will come after - pm_kernel.c now contains only code that is specific to the in-kernel PM. Now all functions are either called from: - pm.c: events coming from the core, when this PM is being used - pm_netlink.c: for shared Netlink commands - mptcp_pm_gen.c: for Netlink commands specific to the in-kernel PM - sockopt.c: for the exported counters per netns - (while at it, a useless 'return;' spot by checkpatch at the end of mptcp_pm_nl_set_flags_all, has been removed) The code around the PM is now less confusing, which should help for the maintenance in the long term. This will certainly impact future backports, but because other cleanups have already done recently, and more are coming to ease the addition of a new path-manager controlled with BPF (struct_ops), doing that now seems to be a good time. Also, many issues around the PM have been fixed a few months ago while increasing the code coverage in the selftests, so such big reorganisation can be done with more confidence now. No behavioural changes intended.
