[MPTCP] [RFC PATCH 0/8] mptcp: support for queuing data at mptcp-level

[Paolo Abeni <pabeni at redhat.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1756 bytes --]

This is necessary to cope correctly with large sendbuffer (larger then snd wnd)
while respecting the MPTCP level snd window.

A major rework of both xmit and shudown path is required to support this
feature (patches 6 and 7). To try to keep the related patches as small as
possible, a bunch of new helpers is created by patches 1-5.
Note that patch 3 can stand for it's own merit and possibly be upstreamed soon.

Finally patch 8 uses the MPTCP equivalent of tcp_push_pending_frames(), to
spool queued data ad MPTCP level, as soon as the windows allow that.

This is still more than a bit rough, and not all self-tests currently pass in
my local testbed, but the major issues should have been addressed.

Specifically the race described in:

https://lists.01.org/hyperkitty/list/mptcp(a)lists.01.org/message/JC7GTZHEKI6A3WHQKAWF3SYUSBEU5DYM/

is addressed by patch 6.

As usual any comments more than welcome!

Note: some patches include [partial] changelog, because this already went
through some private iterations.
