Subject: mptcp: drop the push_pending field
From: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit bdd70eb68913c960acb895b00a8c62eb64715b1f upstream.
Such field is there to avoid acquiring the data lock in a few spots,
but it adds complexity to the already non trivial locking schema.
All the relevant call sites (mptcp-level re-injection, set socket
options), are slow-path, drop such field in favor of 'cb_flags', adding
the relevant locking.
This patch could be seen as an improvement, instead of a fix. But it
simplifies the next patch. The 'Fixes' tag has been added to help having
this series backported to stable.
Fixes: e9d09baca676 ("mptcp: avoid atomic bit manipulation when possible")
