This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled mptcp: Remove unnecessary test for __mptcp_init_sock() to the 6.5-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: mptcp-remove-unnecessary-test-for-__mptcp_init_sock.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.5 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 93b36859e5aae1d636bcbf0dff13bf760a12593b Author: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Aug 11 17:57:27 2023 +0200 mptcp: Remove unnecessary test for __mptcp_init_sock() [ Upstream commit e263691773cd67d7c824eeee8b802f50c6e0c118 ] __mptcp_init_sock() always returns 0 because mptcp_init_sock() used to return the value directly. But after commit 18b683bff89d ("mptcp: queue data for mptcp level retransmission"), __mptcp_init_sock() need not return value anymore. Let's remove the unnecessary test for __mptcp_init_sock() and make it return void.
