A peer can notify the other one that a subflow has to be treated as "backup" by two different ways: either by sending a dedicated MP_PRIO notification, or by setting the backup flag in the MP_JOIN handshake. The selftests were previously monitoring the former, but not the latter. This is what is now done here by looking at these new MIB counters when validating the 'backup' cases: MPTcpExtMPJoinSynBackupRx MPTcpExtMPJoinSynAckBackupRx The 'Fixes' tag here below is the same as the one from the previous commit: this patch here is not fixing anything wrong in the selftests, but it will help to validate a new fix for an issue introduced by this commit ID.

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.
