Mat Martineau says: ==================== mptcp: Refactor ADD_ADDR/RM_ADDR handling This patch set changes the way MPTCP ADD_ADDR and RM_ADDR options are handled to improve the reliability of sending and updating address advertisements. The information used to populate outgoing advertisement option headers is now stored separately to avoid rare cases where a more recent request would overwrite something that had not been sent yet. While the peers would recover from this, it's better to avoid the problem in the first place. Patch 1 moves an advertisement option check under a lock so the changes made in the next several patches will not introduce a race. Patches 2-4 make sure ADD_ADDR, ADD_ADDR echo, and RM_ADDR options use separate flags and data. Patch 5 removes some now-redundant flags. Patch 6 adds a selftest that confirms the advertisement reliability improvements. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
