This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled selftests: mptcp: join: fix subflow_send_ack lookup to the 6.1-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: selftests-mptcp-join-fix-subflow_send_ack-lookup.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 6aa537c3d6b65f8667a36c97a02e41b4dac5b7c6 Author: Geliang Tang <geliang.tang@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Dec 15 17:04:24 2023 +0100 selftests: mptcp: join: fix subflow_send_ack lookup [ Upstream commit c8f021eec5817601dbd25ab7e3ad5c720965c688 ] MPC backups tests will skip unexpected sometimes (For example, when compiling kernel with an older version of gcc, such as gcc-8), since static functions like mptcp_subflow_send_ack also be listed in /proc/kallsyms, with a 't' in front of it, not 'T' ('T' is for a global function): > grep "mptcp_subflow_send_ack" /proc/kallsyms 0000000000000000 T __pfx___mptcp_subflow_send_ack 0000000000000000 T __mptcp_subflow_send_ack 0000000000000000 t __pfx_mptcp_subflow_send_ack 0000000000000000 t mptcp_subflow_send_ack In this case, mptcp_lib_kallsyms_doesnt_have "mptcp_subflow_send_ack$" will be false, MPC backups tests will skip. This is not what we expected. The correct logic here should be: if mptcp_subflow_send_ack is not a global function in /proc/kallsyms, do these MPC backups tests. So a 'T' must be added in front of mptcp_subflow_send_ack.
