    mptcp: sched: check both directions for backup · b6a66e52
    Matthieu Baerts (NGI0) authored
    The 'mptcp_subflow_context' structure has two items related to the
    backup flags:
    
     - 'backup': the subflow has been marked as backup by the other peer
    
     - 'request_bkup': the backup flag has been set by the host
    
    Before this patch, the scheduler was only looking at the 'backup' flag.
    That can make sense in some cases, but it looks like that's not what we
    wanted for the general use, because either the path-manager was setting
    both of them when sending an MP_PRIO, or the receiver was duplicating
    the 'backup' flag in the subflow request.
    
    Note that the use of these two flags in the path-manager are going to be
    fixed in the next commits, but this change here is needed not to modify
    the behaviour.
