Subject: [PATCH] mptcp: add needs_id for netlink appending addr

Just the same as userspace PM, a new parameter needs_id is added for
in-kernel PM mptcp_pm_nl_append_new_local_addr() too.

Add a new helper mptcp_pm_has_addr_attr_id() to check whether an address
ID is set from PM or not.

In mptcp_pm_nl_get_local_id(), needs_id is always true, but in
mptcp_pm_nl_add_addr_doit(), pass mptcp_pm_has_addr_attr_id() to
needs_it.

Notes:
 - conflicts in pm_netlink.c because the new helper function expected to
   be on top of mptcp_pm_nl_add_addr_doit() which has been recently
   renamed in commit 1e07938e29c5 ("net: mptcp: rename netlink handlers
   to mptcp_pm_nl_<blah>_{doit,dumpit}").
 - use mptcp_pm_addr_policy instead of mptcp_pm_address_nl_policy, the
   new name after commit 1d0507f46843 ("net: mptcp: convert netlink from
   small_ops to ops").

Don't we also need a 5.15.y version of this commit?

All of the backports you sent are now queued up, thanks!

Good point, yes, according to the 'Fixes' tag, we need it as well for
5.15.y.

It looks like no "FAILED: patch" notification has been sent for this
patch for the 5.15-stable tree. Is it normal?

I'm asking this because I rely on these notifications to know if I need
to help to fix conflicts. I don't regularly track if patches we sent
upstream with 'Cc: stable' & 'Fixes' tags have been backported. It is
just to know if we need to modify our way of working :)

> All of the backports you sent are now queued up, thanks!

Thank you for all the great work!

Cheers,
Matt

Hm, odd, I don't know why I didn't send that out, that's a fault on my
side, sorry about that.

So yes, we do need this, I've just now sent the email if you trigger off
of that :)

No, your way of working is WONDERFUL from my side at least, I have no
complaints at all!

All good, it happens! :)

I will check that one later. I'm currently tracking one (or two?)
regression(s) in v6.1. It looks like they were already present in the
last v6.1 tag (v6.1.79). Patches will follow.

Great! We will then continue to track 'FAILED: patch' notifications, and
rely on your excellent work selecting all patches that need to be
backported.
