Selftests are supposed to run on any kernels, including the old ones not supporting all MPTCP features. At some points, a new feature caused internal behaviour changes we are verifying in the selftests, see the Fixes tag below. It was not a UAPI change but because in these selftests, we check some internal behaviours, it is normal we have to adapt them from time to time after having added some features. It looks like there is no external sign we can use to predict the expected behaviour. Instead of accepting different behaviours and thus not really checking for the expected behaviour, we are looking here for a specific kernel version. That's not ideal but it looks better than removing the test because it cannot support older kernel versions.

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.
