</TASK>
The TCP subflow can process the simult-connect syn-ack packet after
transitioning to TCP_FIN1 state, bypassing the MPTCP fallback check,
as the sk_state_change() callback is not invoked for * -> FIN_WAIT1
transitions.
That will move the msk socket to an inconsistent status and the next
incoming data will hit the reported splat.
Close the race moving the simult-fallback check at the earliest possible
stage - that is at syn-ack generation time.
About the fixes tags: [2] was supposed to also fix this issue introduced
by [3]. [1] is required as a dependence: it was not explicitly marked as
a fix, but it is one and it has already been backported before [3]. In
other words, this commit should be backported up to [3], including [2]
and [1] if that's not already there.
Fixes: 23e89e8ee7be ("tcp: Don't drop SYN+ACK for simultaneous connect().") [1]
Fixes: 4fd19a307016 ("mptcp: fix inconsistent state on fastopen race") [2]
Fixes: 1e777f39b4d7 ("mptcp: add MSG_FASTOPEN sendmsg flag support") [3]
