Subject: [PATCH] mptcp: add per-reason MIB counters for MPTCP_RST_EMPTCP resets
Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 15:26:46 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260421095646.3741956-1-shardul.b@mpiricsoftware.com> (raw)

MPTCP_RST_EMPTCP (reset reason 1) is used as a catch-all for seven
distinct error conditions across subflow setup, authentication, and
data path validation.  The existing MPRstTx/MPRstRx counters only
track aggregate reset volume, making it difficult to diagnose which
code path is triggering subflow resets in production.

Add per-reason MIB counters for each MPTCP_RST_EMPTCP use site:

  MPRstMD5SIG         - MD5SIG on listener, incompatible with MPTCP
  MPRstNoToken        - JOIN token lookup failed, no matching conn
  MPRstNoMPJ          - SYN/ACK missing MP_JOIN option
  MPRstHMAC           - HMAC validation failed during subflow join
  MPRstFatalFallback  - fatal fallback during child socket creation
  MPRstBadMap         - invalid data mapping on established subflow
  MPRstNotEstablished - JOIN on not-fully-established msk

These counters are incremented alongside the existing reset_reason
assignment and are visible via nstat as MPTcpExtMPRst*.  The
aggregate MPRstTx/MPRstRx counters remain unchanged.

Closes: https://github.com/multipath-tcp/mptcp_net-next/issues/511
