v8:
- check MPTCP_SYNC_SEQ in mptcp_inq_hint:
if (hint_val >= INT_MAX) {
if (test_bit(MPTCP_SYNC_SEQ, &msk->cb_flags))
return 0;
return INT_MAX;
}
- rename mptcp_sock_rate_check_app_limited to
mptcp_rate_check_app_limited.
v7:
- Patch 1 is a new one to fix the existing issue Sashiko mentioned -
using atomic64_t for msk->ack_seq.
- Fix the map_subflow_seq setting in fallback mode in patch 4.
- https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/mptcp/cover/cover.1787537436.git.tanggeliang@kylinos.cn/
v6:
- Memory ordering for MPTCP_SYNC_SEQ: Add smp_wmb() before set_bit() in
subflow_set_remote_key() and smp_rmb() after test_and_clear_bit() in
__mptcp_move_skb() and mptcp_release_cb() to prevent data races on
weakly-ordered architectures, ensuring ack_seq updates are visible
before the flag is set and readers see the updated sequence after
observing the flag.
- Lockdep nested locking: Use lock_sock_fast_nested(ssk) instead of
lock_sock_fast(ssk) in mptcp_sock_rate_check_app_limited() to suppress
false positive recursive locking warnings when acquiring subflow socket
locks while holding the parent MPTCP socket lock.
- Receive window advertisement order: Swap mptcp_rcv_space_adjust() and
mptcp_cleanup_rbuf() in mptcp_read_complete() to expand the receive
buffer before evaluating window updates, ensuring ACKs advertise the
new (larger) window size instead of delaying the advertisement until
the next cycle.
- https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/mptcp/cover/cover.1787446274.git.tanggeliang@kylinos.cn/
v5:
- only patch 3 changed.
- Fallback offset underflow: Initialize MPTCP sequence space to 0 in
mptcp_propagate_state() when mp_opt == NULL, ensuring SKB's map_seq
starts from 0 to match msk->copied_seq and prevent offset calculation
underflow in fallback mode.
- Stale peek_seq: Move peek_seq recomputation into the mptcp_move_skbs()
continue path and add another recomputation after sk_wait_data(),
ensuring peek_seq stays synchronized with msk->copied_seq updates from
MPTCP_SYNC_SEQ processing in both paths.
- https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/mptcp/cover/cover.1787368526.git.tanggeliang@kylinos.cn/
v4:
- mptcp_recvmsg: move the peek_seq recompute from after sk_wait_data()
to before the mptcp_move_skbs() continue check.
mptcp_move_skbs() -> __mptcp_move_skb() may shift the head skb's
map_seq to the IASN frame via __mptcp_sync_rcv_sequence(); if
'continue' then exits the loop, the recompute is skipped, and the
next __mptcp_recvmsg_mskq() computes offset with peek_seq in the old
frame minus map_seq in the new frame. The underflow makes the offset
test fail and the skb is skipped (and mptcp_recv_skb() actually frees
the TFO skb via mptcp_eat_recv_skb()).
- Make all three MPTCP_SYNC_SEQ bit accesses atomic:
- subflow_set_remote_key: __set_bit -> set_bit
- __mptcp_move_skb: __test_and_clear_bit -> test_and_clear_bit
- mptcp_release_cb: __test_and_clear_bit -> test_and_clear_bit
The flag is set in BH under mptcp_data_lock() (msk slock held) and
cleared in user context under lock_sock() slow path (only owned=1,
slock not held). The non-atomic RMW on the two sides races, which can
lose the IASN sync.
- https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/mptcp/cover/cover.1787295147.git.tanggeliang@kylinos.cn/
v3:
- Patch 2, handle "offset" in __mptcp_sync_rcv_sequence().
- Patch 3, update __mptcp_move_skb() in response to Sashiko comments:
if (__test_and_clear_bit(MPTCP_SYNC_SEQ, &msk->cb_flags))
msk->copied_seq += mptcp_iasn(msk);
- Patch 4, replace after64() to after() in mptcp_prune_ofo_queue(). The
pre-existing issue raised by Sashiko regarding changing the type of
ack_seq to atomic64_t is not addressed in this series.
- https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/mptcp/cover/cover.1786445142.git.tanggeliang@kylinos.cn/
v2:
- Patch 3, updated in response to Sashiko comments:
if (unlikely(msk->rcvd_dummy_seq)) {
msk->copied_seq += mptcp_iasn(msk);
__mptcp_sync_rcv_sequence(sk);
/* Release cb() would otherwise re-base copied_seq
* again.
*/
test_and_clear_bit(MPTCP_SYNC_SEQ, &msk->cb_flags);
}
/* Skip the already peeked data. */
if (offset >= skb->len) {
*last = skb;
continue;
}
- Patch 5, replaced with Paolo's patch.
- Patch 6, 7, new patches addressing app-limited conditions.
- The patch "trim the duplicated skb head at receive enqueue" has been
dropped, as it is no longer needed after Paolo updated the "mptcp:
out-of-order queue pruning" series.
- https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/mptcp/cover/cover.1786158416.git.tanggeliang@kylinos.cn/
v1:
- https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/mptcp/cover/cover.1785150300.git.tanggeliang@kylinos.cn/
The goal of this series is to reduce the differences between TCP and MPTCP
for TLS usage, in preparation for adding TLS over MPTCP support in the
future.
In previous versions [1], a struct tls_prot_ops was defined to represent
the interface differences between TCP and MPTCP, which contained the
following callbacks:
struct sk_buff *(*recv_skb)(struct sock *sk, u32 *off);
bool (*lock_is_held)(struct sock *sk);
void (*read_done)(struct sock *sk, size_t len);
u32 (*get_skb_seq)(struct sk_buff *skb);
int (*skb_get_header)(const struct sk_buff *skb, int offset,
void *to, int len);
bool (*epollin_ready)(const struct sock *sk);
void (*check_app_limited)(struct sock *sk);
In reality, some of these callbacks are unnecessary. This series aims to
eliminate the get_skb_seq(), skb_get_header(), and lock_is_held()
callbacks.
The first four patches come from Paolo's "mptcp: address stall under memory
pressure" series v5 [2], with only minor cleanup from my side.
They remove the CB offset field and sync the MPTCP skb CB layout with the
TCP one, so that we can obtain the TCP or MPTCP sequence number in a
unified way, e.g.:
struct tls_skb_cb {
u32 seq;
};
#define TLS_SKB_CB(__skb) ((struct tls_skb_cb *)&((__skb)->cb[0]))
This eliminates the need for a separate get_skb_seq() callback.
Building on the removal of the CB offset field, I also added patch 5 that
trims the duplicated skb head at receive enqueue. With that in place, KTLS
can retrieve the record header via skb_copy_bits() directly, so there is no
longer any need for a dedicated MPTCP helper like mptcp_skb_get_header().
The skb_get_header() callback can thus be removed.
Patch 6 defers sk_data_ready to the worker, which avoids recursive locking
when TLS calls back into MPTCP under mptcp_data_lock(). With this change,
the lock_is_held() callback is no longer needed and can be removed.

From: Geliang Tang <tanggeliang@kylinos.cn>
msk->ack_seq is updated in process context without mptcp_data_lock()
and read concurrently in softirq via mptcp_write_options(). On 32-bit
architectures, 64-bit READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE compiles to two 32-bit
accesses, so a torn read could produce a corrupted MPTCP Data ACK.
Convert msk->ack_seq from u64 to atomic64_t to guarantee tear-free
accesses on all architectures. Also cache atomic64_read() in a local
variable in __mptcp_move_skb() and __mptcp_ofo_queue() to avoid
inconsistent repeated reads.

From: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>
It's used to save an additional comparison for in-order skbs, but is
also a barrier to remove CB offset. Remove the helper, let
__mptcp_try_coalesce() always perform the sequence check and remove
duplicate checks from the callers.

From: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>
Such field is used to ensure in-sequence processing in case of fastopen.
Instead let's perform synchronization of the fastopen skb sequence
when the IASN becomes available with the 3rd ack.
When the `cant_coalesce` field has been introduced, commit f03afb3aeb9d
("mptcp: drop __mptcp_fastopen_gen_msk_ackseq()") noted that updating the
already queued skb for passive fastopen socket at 3rd ack time would be
difficult and race prone. The main point is that such update don't need
to be synchronously performed at 3rd ack time, but is sufficient to
perform it before the next segment is introduced into the msk.
To such extent, add an explicit test in __mptcp_move_skb(). Performance
wise this trades a conditional in the fast path - in __mptcp_try_coalesce()
- with a similar one in __mptcp_move_skb() and a couple more in slow paths.
After this change the user-space will always observe consistent sequence
numbers in the receive queue, even in the TFO dummy mapping case.
There is still a potential race in mptcp_inq_hint() that will be addressed
by a later patch in the series.

Instead, use a new msk-level field to track the bytes already consumed
inside each skb, carrying the amount of bytes already copied to
user-space, alike what TCP is already doing.
The newly introduce `copied_seq` field is always accessed under the msk
socket lock, delegating the synchronization with IASN to the msk release
CB, when the socket is owned by the user-space at remote key reception
time. Such synchronization preserves any partial progress (copy) made on
the TFO packet.
Note that the explicit synchronization in __mptcp_move_skb() is needed to
ensure that the TFO skb in the receive queue got its map_seq synched
before the next skb lands into the receive queue when spooling the backlog
at mptcp_release_cb() time, as the release CB synchronization will happen
later.
Prior to this patch, the TFO skb dummy mapping was always ignored, now it
affects the `copied_seq` initial update: be sure to extends the sign
correctly of such mapping initialization time.
Overall this simplify a bit the __mptcp_recvmsg_mskq(), mptcp_inq_hint()
and the __mptcp_move_skb() code and will also make possible the next
patch.
Initialize MPTCP sequence space to 0 in mptcp_propagate_state() when mp_opt
is NULL, ensuring SKB's map_seq starts from 0 to match msk->copied_seq and
prevent offset calculation underflow in fallback mode.

From: Geliang Tang @ 2026-08-25 7:57 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: mptcp; +Cc: Paolo Abeni, Geliang Tang
From: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>
The MPTCP protocol uses a significantly different CB layout WRT TCP, as it
includes different information and use 64 bits for the sequence numbers.
As the msk-level rcvbuf buffer size is limited by the core socket code the
INT_MAX; after validating the incoming skb vs the current receive window,
we can safely use 32 bits for MPTCP-level sequence number. This allow
updating the MPTCP CB layout so that fields with a corresponding TCP-level
data use the same area inside the CB itself.
Add build time check to ensure the latter invariant.

When MPTCP carries TLS, the data path runs under mptcp_data_lock().
Reaching sk->sk_data_ready(sk) synchronously ends up at
tls_strp_check_rcv() -> mptcp_recv_skb() -> mptcp_move_skbs(), which
calls mptcp_data_lock() on the same sk and recurses on sk_lock.slock.
The TLS path is not the only constraint: before the mptcp_recv_skb()
calls, the TLS code would also reach __mptcp_read_sock(), which calls
mptcp_rcv_space_adjust() and mptcp_cleanup_rbuf(). Both require holding
the msk socket lock in process context, while the mptcp/TLS caller is
in BH scope.
Fix this by deferring sk->sk_data_ready(sk) to mptcp_worker() via a new
MPTCP_WORK_READ_COMPLETE bit, reusing the existing mptcp_schedule_work()/
mptcp_cancel_work() infrastructure. The wakeup bit is consumed after the
SOCK_DEAD && TCP_CLOSE destroy branch, so a socket that reaches the destroy
path drops the pending wakeup rather than running it post-free.

From: Geliang Tang <tanggeliang@kylinos.cn>
The application-limited accounting in TCP is updated by
tcp_rate_check_app_limited(), which currently takes a struct sock * and
internally calls tcp_sk(). MPTCP needs to apply the same accounting to
each subflow individually - every subflow is an independent TCP socket
with its own tp->app_limited / delivered state - so wrapping the call as
a struct sock * -> tcp_sk() helper is awkward at the call site.
Split the existing function: keep the logic as
tcp_sock_rate_check_app_limited(struct tcp_sock *tp), and turn
tcp_rate_check_app_limited(struct sock *) into a thin wrapper so the
exported API is unchanged for other TCP users.
Then add mptcp_sock_rate_check_app_limited() that walks every subflow of
the mptcp_sock and runs tcp_sock_rate_check_app_limited() under each
subflow's socket lock. Invoke it from mptcp_sendmsg() right after the
send-side setup, so the delivery-rate app_limited state stays in sync
with what the application actually has to send across each subflow.
With this in place, TCP_INFO.tcpi_delivery_rate_app_limited is reported
correctly for MPTCP connections instead of being left at 0.

connect_one_server() in mptcp_sockopt exchanges only a few packets between
the client and server, then closes the socket. After such a small transfer
the application has nothing further to send, so the connection is, by
definition, application-limited.
Extend the TCP_INFO readback at the end of the function to assert
s.tcp_info.tcpi_delivery_rate_app_limited == 1.
Without the preceding commit, mptcp_sendmsg() never updates the per-subflow
app-limited state, and this field stays at 0 - the assertion would fail.
With it in place, the value is forced to 1, turning this into a regression
guard for the subflow-side application-limited accounting.

mptcp: defer read_sock cleanup to mptcp_worker
This commit defers MPTCP read socket cleanup to mptcp_worker() to prevent lock
recursion on sk_lock.slock. It introduces a new MPTCP_WORK_READ_COMPLETE bit,
allowing __mptcp_read_sock() to schedule cleanup asynchronously when invoked in
BH scope during TLS data processing.

[Severity: High]
Could this result in a data race on msk->read_copied?
mptcp_read_complete() is called from mptcp_worker(), which holds lock_sock(sk)
but not the mptcp_data_lock() spinlock.
Meanwhile, __mptcp_read_sock() increments msk->read_copied in BH context where
it holds mptcp_data_lock() but not lock_sock(sk).
If both run concurrently, updates to msk->read_copied could be lost or
inconsistent.

[Severity: Medium]
Will this trigger a lockdep warning when invoked in BH scope?
Since __mptcp_read_sock() is now intended to run in BH scope without holding
lock_sock(sk), the existing msk_owned_by_me(msk) assertion at the beginning of
the function might fail when called from the TLS data path.

mptcp: use atomic64_t for msk->ack_seq
This commit converts msk->ack_seq from u64 to atomic64_t to guarantee
tear-free accesses on all architectures. It also caches the atomic64_read()
value in local variables in __mptcp_move_skb() and __mptcp_ofo_queue()
to avoid inconsistent repeated reads.

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but since it explicitly sets out
to fix 32-bit torn reads for msk->ack_seq, should the other 64-bit socket
state variables also be converted?
For example, msk->bytes_received is updated here using a plain non-atomic +=
operation, and it is read locklessly in mptcp_data_avail():
net/mptcp/protocol.h:mptcp_data_avail() {
...
return READ_ONCE(msk->bytes_received) - READ_ONCE(msk->bytes_consumed);
}
Similarly, write_seq and snd_nxt are read locklessly:
net/mptcp/protocol.h:mptcp_stream_memory_free() {
...
notsent_bytes = READ_ONCE(msk->write_seq) - READ_ONCE(msk->snd_nxt);
}
A torn read on these 64-bit variables can produce a massively incorrect
value. When a counter crosses a 4GB boundary (e.g., transitioning from
0x00000000FFFFFFFF to 0x0000000100000000), a concurrent 32-bit read might see
0x00000001FFFFFFFF. In mptcp_poll(), this could lead to incorrectly
calculated data_avail or notsent_bytes, causing spurious EPOLLIN/EPOLLOUT
events or missing events that permanently stall the connection.

mptcp: remove CB offset field
This commit introduces a new msk-level field to track the bytes already
consumed inside each skb, similar to TCP, instead of using a CB offset
field. It synchronizes sequence spaces and simplifies hint calculations
and buffer moves.

[Severity: High]
Does this logic allow un-synced sequence lengths smaller than INT_MAX to
leak into userspace?
If a server application is actively reading data in recvmsg() (holding the
socket lock) and a remote attacker sends a third ACK with MP_CAPABLE, the
softirq defers updating copied_seq by setting the MPTCP_SYNC_SEQ bit.
Because the test_bit(MPTCP_SYNC_SEQ, ...) check is nested inside the
if (hint_val >= INT_MAX) block, an attacker could bypass the sync check by
crafting a sender_key such that the resulting hint_val is just under INT_MAX.
Could this return an arbitrarily large hint_val to userspace via FIONREAD
(TCP_INQ), potentially leading to massive application-level memory allocations
and rapid memory exhaustion?

- Task: https://github.com/multipath-tcp/mptcp_net-next/actions/runs/32825688610
Initiator: Patchew Applier
Commits: https://github.com/multipath-tcp/mptcp_net-next/commits/415f8a01f452
Patchwork: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/mptcp/list/?series=1151323
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-normal
For more details:

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 ;-)
