Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y] mptcp: disable add_addr retransmission when timeout is 0
Date: Sat, 23 Aug 2025 10:27:50 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250823142750.2245119-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2025082241-oxidant-avoid-0017@gregkh>

From: Geliang Tang <tanggeliang@kylinos.cn>

[ Upstream commit f5ce0714623cffd00bf2a83e890d09c609b7f50a ]

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")
