Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y 2/3] mptcp: disable add_addr retransmission when timeout is 0
Date: Fri, 22 Aug 2025 16:11:27 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250822141124.49727-7-matttbe@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250822141124.49727-5-matttbe@kernel.org>
From: Geliang Tang <tanggeliang@kylinos.cn>
commit f5ce0714623cffd00bf2a83e890d09c609b7f50a upstream.
When add_addr_timeout was set to 0, this caused the ADD_ADDR to be
retransmitted immediately, which looks like a buggy behaviour. Instead,
interpret 0 as "no retransmissions needed".
The documentation is updated to explicitly state that setting the timeout
to 0 disables retransmission.
Fixes: 93f323b9cccc ("mptcp: add a new sysctl add_addr_timeout")

[ Before commit e4c28e3d5c09 ("mptcp: pm: move generic PM helpers to
pm.c"), mptcp_pm_alloc_anno_list() was in pm_netlink.c. The same patch
can be applied there without conflicts. ]
