When a subflow is created via mptcp_subflow_create_socket(), a new 'struct socket' is allocated, with a new i_ino value. When inspecting TCP sockets via the procfs and or the diag interface, the above ones are not related to the process owning the MPTCP master socket, even if they are a logical part of it ('ss -p' shows an empty process field) Additionally, subflows created by the path manager get the uid/gid from the running workqueue. Subflows are part of the owning MPTCP master socket, let's adjust the vfs info to reflect this. After this patch, 'ss' correctly displays subflows as belonging to the msk socket creator.

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.
