mptcp: reset when MPTCP opts are dropped after join
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Before this patch, if the checksum was not used, the subflow was only
reset if map_data_len was != 0. If there were no MPTCP options or an
invalid mapping, map_data_len was not set to the data len, and then the
subflow was not reset as it should have been, leaving the MPTCP
connection in a wrong fallback mode.

This map_data_len condition has been introduced to handle the reception
of the infinite mapping. Instead, a new dedicated mapping error could
have been returned and treated as a special case. However, the commit
31bf11d ("mptcp: introduce MAPPING_BAD_CSUM") has been introduced
by Paolo Abeni soon after, and backported later on to stable. It better
handle the csum case, and it means the exception for valid_csum_seen in
subflow_can_fallback(), plus this one for the infinite mapping in
subflow_check_data_avail(), are no longer needed.

In other words, the code can be simplified there: a fallback should only
be done if msk->allow_infinite_fallback is set. This boolean is set to
false once MPTCP-specific operations acting on the whole MPTCP
connection vs the initial path have been done, e.g. a second path has
been created, or an MPTCP re-injection -- yes, possible even with a
single subflow. The subflow_can_fallback() helper can then be dropped,
and replaced by this single condition.

This also makes the code clearer: a fallback should only be done if it
is possible to do so.

While at it, no need to set map_data_len to 0 in get_mapping_status()
for the infinite mapping case: it will be set to skb->len just after, at
the end of subflow_check_data_avail(), and not read in between.
