[PATCH mptcp-next] net/mptcp: don't overwrite sock_ops in mptcp_is_tcpsk()

[PATCH mptcp-next] net/mptcp: don't overwrite sock_ops in mptcp_is_tcpsk()

[Davide Caratti]

re-factor code to avoid overwriting sock_ops inside that function. Also,
change the helper name to reflect the semantic, and to disambiguate from
its dual sk_is_mptcp().

Hi Davide,

Thank you for your modifications, that's great!

But sadly, our CI spotted some issues with it when trying to build it.

You can find more details there:

  https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/mptcp/patch/a2581b975c0c5bec417b2dd5e0b014acd7770e14.1698764762.git.dcaratti@redhat.com/

Feel free to reply to this email if you cannot access logs, if you need
some support to fix the error, if this doesn't seem to be caused by your
modifications or if the error is a false positive one.

As discussed at the weekly meeting, this issue was due to one upstream.

A fix for that has been added to our tree, and the CI is no longer
complaining about your patch now!

Cheers,

If there are some issues, you can reproduce them using the same environment as
the one used by the CI thanks to a docker image, e.g.:

    $ cd [kernel source code]
    $ docker run -v "${PWD}:${PWD}:rw" -w "${PWD}" --privileged --rm -it \
        --pull always mptcp/mptcp-upstream-virtme-docker:latest \
        auto-debug

For more details:

    https://github.com/multipath-tcp/mptcp-upstream-virtme-docker


Please note that despite all the efforts that have been already done to have a
stable tests suite when executed on a public CI like here, it is possible some
reported issues are not due to your modifications. Still, do not hesitate to
help us improve that ;-)

Hi Davide -

From your comment in the meeting about using a different helper to 
determine if it's a MPTCP or TCP sk, I think the idea is to get rid of the 
helper function (rather than rename) and then include the ipv4/ipv6 logic 
in this block of code? That approach sounds good to me.

If that doesn't work out, another option is to rename the helper function 
to something that meets Eric's criteria (avoiding "mptcp_is_xxx()" or 
"mptcp_get_xxx()" names).
