The MPTCP code uses the assumption that the tcp_win_from_space() helper
does not use any TCP-specific field, and thus works correctly operating
on an MPTCP socket.
The commit dfa2f0483360 ("tcp: get rid of sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale")
broke such assumption, and as a consequence most MPTCP connections stall
on zero-window event due to auto-tuning changing the rcv buffer size
quite randomly.
Address the issue syncing again the MPTCP auto-tuning code with the TCP
one. To achieve that, factor out the windows size logic in socket
independent helpers, and reuse them in mptcp_rcv_space_adjust(). The
MPTCP level scaling_ratio is selected as the minimum one from the all
the subflows, as a worst-case estimate.

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.
