    mptcp: pm: ADD_ADDR 0 is not a new address · 57f86203
    Matthieu Baerts (NGI0) authored
    The ADD_ADDR 0 with the address from the initial subflow should not be
    considered as a new address: this is not something new. If the host
    receives it, it simply means that the address is available again.
    
    When receiving an ADD_ADDR for the ID 0, the PM already doesn't consider
    it as new by not incrementing the 'add_addr_accepted' counter. But the
    'accept_addr' might not be set if the limit has already been reached:
    this can be bypassed in this case. But before, it is important to check
    that this ADD_ADDR for the ID 0 is for the same address as the initial
    subflow. If not, it is not something that should happen, and the
    ADD_ADDR can be ignored.
    
    Note that if an ADD_ADDR is received while there is already a subflow
    opened using the same address, this ADD_ADDR is ignored as well. It
    means that if multiple ADD_ADDR for ID 0 are received, there will not be
    any duplicated subflows created by the client.
