The reason codes are handled in two ways nowadays (quoting Mat Martineau):
1. Sending in the MPTCP option on RST packets when there is no subflow
context available (these use subflow_add_reset_reason() and directly call
a TCP-level send_reset function)
2. The "normal" way via subflow->reset_reason. This will propagate to both
the outgoing reset packet and to a local path manager process via netlink
in mptcp_event_sub_closed()
RFC 8684 defines the skb reset reason behaviour which is not required
even though in some places:
A host sends a TCP RST in order to close a subflow or reject
an attempt to open a subflow (MP_JOIN). In order to let the
receiving host know why a subflow is being closed or rejected,
the TCP RST packet MAY include the MP_TCPRST option (Figure 15).
The host MAY use this information to decide, for example, whether
it tries to re-establish the subflow immediately, later, or never.
Since the commit dc87efdb1a5cd ("mptcp: add mptcp reset option support")
introduced this feature about three years ago, we can fully use it.
There remains some places where we could insert reason into skb as
we can see in this patch.
Many thanks to Mat and Paolo for help:)

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 reStructuredText 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.
