Subject: [PATCH net-next 4/4] selftests: mptcp: join: validate extra bind cases
Date: Sat, 01 Nov 2025 18:56:54 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251101-net-next-mptcp-fm-endp-nb-bind-v1-4-b4166772d6bb@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251101-net-next-mptcp-fm-endp-nb-bind-v1-0-b4166772d6bb@kernel.org>
By design, an MPTCP connection will not accept extra subflows where no
MPTCP listening sockets can accept such requests.
In other words, it means that if the 'server' listens on a specific
address / device, it cannot accept MP_JOIN sent to a different address /
device. Except if there is another MPTCP listening socket accepting
them.
This is what the new tests are validating:
- Forcing a bind on the main v4/v6 address, and checking that MP_JOIN
to announced addresses are not accepted.
- Also forcing a bind on the main v4/v6 address, but before, another
listening socket is created to accept additional subflows. Note that
'mptcpize run nc -l' -- or something else only doing: socket(MPTCP),
bind(<IP>), listen(0) -- would be enough, but here mptcp_connect is
reused not to depend on another tool just for that.
- Same as the previous one, but using v6 link-local addresses: this is
a bit particular because it is required to specify the outgoing
network interface when connecting to a link-local address announced
by the other peer. When using the routing rules, this doesn't work
(the outgoing interface is not known) ; but it does work with a
'laminar' endpoint having a specified interface.
Note that extra small modifications are needed for these tests to work:
- mptcp_connect's check_getpeername_connect() check should strip the
specified interface when comparing addresses.
- With IPv6 link-local addresses, it is required to wait for them to
be ready (no longer in 'tentative' mode) before using them, otherwise
the bind() will not be allowed.
