Do you need me to do anything here? This patchset seems to have been
waiting for several months.
Another option is to roll back to v2, not add this mptcp_pm_nl_ctl
tool, and continue to use "ip mptcp". I remember mentioning in the
comments of v2 that BPF CI systems will also be upgraded to new Ubuntu
system and iproute2 in the future. At this time now we can make a check
for "ip mptcp" and only run this test on systems that support "ip
mptcp", and skip the test with test__skip() for systems that do not
support it, so that CI can also pass.
WDYT?
