The MPTCP code typecasts the checksum value to u16 and then converts it to big endian while storing the value into the MPTCP option. As a result, the wire encoding for little endian host is wrong, and that causes interoperabilty interoperability issues with other implementation or host with different endianness. Address the issue writing in the packet the unmodified __sum16 value. MPTCP checksum is disabled by default, interoperating with systems with bad mptcp-level csum encoding should cause fallback to TCP.

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.
