The initial subflow might have already been closed, but still in the connection list. When the worker is instructed to close the subflows that have been marked as closed, it might then try to close the initial subflow again. A consequence of that is that the SUB_CLOSED event can be seen twice: # ip mptcp endpoint 1.1.1.1 id 1 subflow dev eth0 2.2.2.2 id 2 subflow dev eth1 # ip mptcp monitor & [ CREATED] remid=0 locid=0 saddr4=1.1.1.1 daddr4=9.9.9.9 [ ESTABLISHED] remid=0 locid=0 saddr4=1.1.1.1 daddr4=9.9.9.9 [ SF_ESTABLISHED] remid=0 locid=2 saddr4=2.2.2.2 daddr4=9.9.9.9 # ip mptcp endpoint delete id 1 [ SF_CLOSED] remid=0 locid=0 saddr4=1.1.1.1 daddr4=9.9.9.9 [ SF_CLOSED] remid=0 locid=0 saddr4=1.1.1.1 daddr4=9.9.9.9 The first one is coming from mptcp_pm_nl_rm_subflow_received(), and the second one from __mptcp_close_subflow(). To avoid doing the post-closed processing twice, the subflow is now marked as closed the first time. Note that it is not enough to check if we are dealing with the first subflow and check its sk_state: the subflow might have been reset or closed before calling mptcp_close_ssk().
