When an mptcp socket connects to a tcp peer or when a middlebox interferes with tcp options, mptcp needs to fall back to plain tcp. Problem is that mptcp is trying to be too clever in this case: It attempts to close the mptcp meta sk and transparently replace it with the (only) subflow tcp sk. Unfortunately, this is racy -- the socket is already exposed to userspace. Any parallel calls to send/recv/setsockopt etc. can cause use-after-free: BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in atomic_try_cmpxchg include/asm-generic/atomic-instrumented.h:693 [inline] CPU: 1 PID: 2083 Comm: syz-executor.1 Not tainted 5.5.0 #2 atomic_try_cmpxchg include/asm-generic/atomic-instrumented.h:693 [inline] queued_spin_lock include/asm-generic/qspinlock.h:78 [inline] do_raw_spin_lock include/linux/spinlock.h:181 [inline] __raw_spin_lock_bh include/linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:136 [inline] _raw_spin_lock_bh+0x71/0xd0 kernel/locking/spinlock.c:175 spin_lock_bh include/linux/spinlock.h:343 [inline] __lock_sock+0x105/0x190 net/core/sock.c:2414 lock_sock_nested+0x10f/0x140 net/core/sock.c:2938 lock_sock include/net/sock.h:1516 [inline] mptcp_setsockopt+0x2f/0x1f0 net/mptcp/protocol.c:800 __sys_setsockopt+0x152/0x240 net/socket.c:2130 __do_sys_setsockopt net/socket.c:2146 [inline] __se_sys_setsockopt net/socket.c:2143 [inline] __x64_sys_setsockopt+0xba/0x150 net/socket.c:2143 do_syscall_64+0xb7/0x3d0 arch/x86/entry/common.c:294 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 While the use-after-free can be resolved, there is another problem: sock->ops and sock->sk assignments are not atomic, i.e. we may get calls into mptcp functions with sock->sk already pointing at the subflow socket, or calls into tcp functions with a mptcp meta sk. Remove the fallback code and call the relevant functions for the (only) subflow in case the mptcp socket is connected to tcp peer.

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.
