Subject: net: mptcp: make DACK4/DACK8 usage consistent among all subflows
From: Davide Caratti <dcaratti@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 37198e93ced70733f0b993dff28b7c33857e254f ]
using packetdrill it's possible to observe the same MPTCP DSN being acked
by different subflows with DACK4 and DACK8. This is in contrast with what
specified in RFC8684 §3.3.2: if an MPTCP endpoint transmits a 64-bit wide
DSN, it MUST be acknowledged with a 64-bit wide DACK. Fix 'use_64bit_ack'
variable to make it a property of MPTCP sockets, not TCP subflows.
Fixes: a0c1d0eafd1e ("mptcp: Use 32-bit DATA_ACK when possible")
