[ Upstream commit 4cf86ae84c718333928fd2d43168a1e359a28329 ]

The address ID selection for MPJ subflows created in response
to incoming ADD_ADDR option is currently unreliable: it happens
at MPJ socket creation time, when the local address could be
unknown.

Additionally, if the no local endpoint is available for the local
address, a new dummy endpoint is created, confusing the user-land.

This change refactor the code to move the address ID selection inside
the rebuild_header() helper, when the local address eventually
selected by the route lookup is finally known. If the address used
is not mapped by any endpoint - and thus can't be advertised/removed
pick the id 0 instead of allocate a new endpoint.

Greg, Sasha -

Is it possible to drop this one patch? It makes one of the mptcp selftests fail (mptcp_join.sh, "single address, backup").

Looks like this patch has been included in stable because of this single hunk that helps "mptcp: Do TCP fallback on early DSS checksum failure" apply cleanly:

diff --git a/net/mptcp/protocol.h b/net/mptcp/protocol.h

"mptcp: Do TCP fallback on early DSS checksum failure" also adds a bit to that bitfield, but there is no functional dependency between the patches.

If you need to drop the "mptcp: Do TCP fallback..." patch too, I can send a backported version tomorrow that accounts for that bitfield change.


Thanks!
