Subject: [PATCH mptcp-next v9 3/4] mptcp: support MSG_ERRQUEUE on the parent socket
Date: Thu, 28 May 2026 06:54:57 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260528055459.55133-4-devnexen@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260528055459.55133-1-devnexen@gmail.com>

Splice pending err skbs from each subflow's error queue onto the parent
msk's error queue at error-report time, so poll() and recvmsg(MSG_ERRQUEUE)
on the parent socket observe TX timestamps and MSG_ZEROCOPY completion
notifications through the standard inet ABI.

The splice filters by SO_EE_ORIGIN: TIMESTAMPING / ZEROCOPY / LOCAL
events forward to the parent because they are tied to user-handed data,
not to a specific path; subflow-level ICMP errors are dropped because
the legacy RECVERR ABI cannot meaningfully convey their per-subflow peer
identity to single-path-aware userspace. Such events will be carried by
a future MPTCP_RECERR channel.

When sock_queue_err_skb() fails on the parent under rmem pressure
(sk_rmem_alloc + truesize >= sk_rcvbuf), the splice drops the offending
skb, matching the behaviour of ip_icmp_error() / ipv6_icmp_error() on a
full err queue. Userspace expecting MSG_ZEROCOPY completion
notifications must size SO_RCVBUF accordingly. The MSG_ERRQUEUE branch
of mptcp_recvmsg() forwards to inet_recv_error() directly, and poll()
advertises EPOLLERR purely on the parent's sk_err / sk_error_queue,
matching tcp_poll().
