mptcp: reset fallback status gracefully at disconnect() time

2025-07-24T06:58:26Z

commit da9b2fc7b73d147d88abe1922de5ab72d72d7756 upstream. mptcp_disconnect() clears the fallback bit unconditionally, without touching the associated flags. The bit clear is safe, as no fallback operation can race with that -- all subflow are already in TCP_CLOSE status thanks to the previous FASTCLOSE -- but we need to consistently reset all the fallback related status. Also acquire the relevant lock, to avoid fouling static analyzers.

mptcp: plug races between subflow fail and subflow creation

2025-07-24T06:58:26Z

commit def5b7b2643ebba696fc60ddf675dca13f073486 upstream. We have races similar to the one addressed by the previous patch between subflow failing and additional subflow creation. They are just harder to trigger. The solution is similar. Use a separate flag to track the condition 'socket state prevent any additional subflow creation' protected by the fallback lock. The socket fallback makes such flag true, and also receiving or sending an MP_FAIL option. The field 'allow_infinite_fallback' is now always touched under the relevant lock, we can drop the ONCE annotation on write.

Add a spinlock to protect the fallback related information and use it close all the possible related races. While at it also remove the too-early clearing of allow_infinite_fallback in __mptcp_subflow_connect(): the field will be correctly cleared by subflow_finish_connect() if/when the connection will complete successfully. If fallback is not possible, as per RFC, reset the current subflow. Since the fallback operation can now fail and return value should be checked, rename the helper accordingly.

mptcp: pm: Defer freeing of MPTCP userspace path manager entries

2025-04-23T23:27:58Z

When path manager entries are deleted from the local address list, they are first unlinked from the address list using list_del_rcu(). The entries must not be freed until after the RCU grace period, but the existing code immediately frees the entry. Use kfree_rcu_mightsleep() and adjust sk_omem_alloc in open code instead of using the sock_kfree_s() helper. This code path is only called in a netlink handler, so the "might sleep" function is preferable to adding a rarely-used rcu_head member to struct mptcp_pm_addr_entry.

mptcp: only inc MPJoinAckHMacFailure for HMAC failures

2025-04-08T23:16:17Z

Recently, during a debugging session using local MPTCP connections, I noticed MPJoinAckHMacFailure was not zero on the server side. The counter was in fact incremented when the PM rejected new subflows, because the 'subflow' limit was reached. The fix is easy, simply dissociating the two cases: only the HMAC validation check should increase MPTCP_MIB_JOINACKMAC counter.

mptcp: fix NULL pointer in can_accept_new_subflow

2025-03-31T23:52:39Z

When testing valkey benchmark tool with MPTCP, the kernel panics in 'mptcp_can_accept_new_subflow' because subflow_req->msk is NULL. Call trace: mptcp_can_accept_new_subflow (./net/mptcp/subflow.c:63 (discriminator 4)) (P) subflow_syn_recv_sock (./net/mptcp/subflow.c:854) tcp_check_req (./net/ipv4/tcp_minisocks.c:863) tcp_v4_rcv (./net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c:2268) ip_protocol_deliver_rcu (./net/ipv4/ip_input.c:207) ip_local_deliver_finish (./net/ipv4/ip_input.c:234) ip_local_deliver (./net/ipv4/ip_input.c:254) ip_rcv_finish (./net/ipv4/ip_input.c:449) ... According to the debug log, the same req received two SYN-ACK in a very short time, very likely because the client retransmits the syn ack due to multiple reasons. Even if the packets are transmitted with a relevant time interval, they can be processed by the server on different CPUs concurrently). The 'subflow_req->msk' ownership is transferred to the subflow the first, and there will be a risk of a null pointer dereference here. This patch fixes this issue by moving the 'subflow_req->msk' under the `own_req == true` conditional. Note that the !msk check in subflow_hmac_valid() can be dropped, because the same check already exists under the own_req mpj branch where the code has been moved to.
