Merge branch 'mptcp-part-two'
Christoph Paasch says: ==================== Multipath TCP part 2: Single subflow & RFC8684 support v2 -> v3: Added RFC8684-style handshake (see below fore more details) and some minor fixes v1 -> v2: Rebased on latest "Multipath TCP: Prerequisites" v3 series This set adds MPTCP connection establishment, writing & reading MPTCP options on data packets, a sysctl to allow MPTCP per-namespace, and self tests. This is sufficient to establish and maintain a connection with a MPTCP peer, but will not yet allow or initiate establishment of additional MPTCP subflows. We also add the necessary code for the RFC8684-style handshake. RFC8684 obsoletes the experimental RFC6824 and makes MPTCP move-on to version 1. Originally our plan was to submit single-subflow and RFC8684 support in two patchsets, but to simplify the merging-process and ensure that a coherent MPTCP-version lands in Linux we decided to merge the two sets into a single one. The MPTCP patchset exclusively supports RFC 8684. Although all MPTCP deployments are currently based on RFC 6824, future deployments will be migrating to MPTCP version 1. 3GPP's 5G standardization also solely supports RFC 8684. In addition, we believe that this initial submission of MPTCP will be cleaner by solely supporting RFC 8684. If later on support for the old MPTCP-version is required it can always be added in the future. The major difference between RFC 8684 and RFC 6824 is that it has a better support for servers using TCP SYN-cookies by reliably retransmitting the MP_CAPABLE option. Before ending this cover letter with some refs, it is worth mentioning that we promise David Miller that merging this series will be rewarded by Twitter dopamine hits :-D Clone/fetch: https://github.com/multipath-tcp/mptcp_net-next.git (tag: netdev-v3-part2) Browse: https://github.com/multipath-tcp/mptcp_net-next/tree/netdev-v3-part2 Thank you for your review.
