Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y] mptcp: sync the msk->sndbuf at accept() time
Date: Wed,  6 May 2026 13:20:41 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260506112040.3503275-2-matttbe@kernel.org> (raw)

From: Gang Yan <yangang@kylinos.cn>

commit fcf04b14334641f4b0b8647824480935e9416d52 upstream.

On passive MPTCP connections, the msk sndbuf is not updated correctly.

The root cause is an order issue in the accept path:

- tcp_check_req() -> subflow_syn_recv_sock() -> mptcp_sk_clone_init()
  calls __mptcp_propagate_sndbuf() to copy the ssk sndbuf into msk

- Later, tcp_child_process() -> tcp_init_transfer() ->
  tcp_sndbuf_expand() grows the ssk sndbuf.

So __mptcp_propagate_sndbuf() runs before the ssk sndbuf has been
expanded and the msk ends up with a much smaller sndbuf than the
subflow:

  MPTCP: msk->sndbuf:20480, msk->first->sndbuf:2626560

Fix this by moving the __mptcp_propagate_sndbuf() call from
mptcp_sk_clone_init() -- the ssk sndbuf is not yet finalized there -- to
__mptcp_propagate_sndbuf() at accept() time, when the ssk sndbuf has
been fully expanded by tcp_sndbuf_expand().

Fixes: 8005184fd1ca ("mptcp: refactor sndbuf auto-tuning")

[ No conflicts, but move __mptcp_propagate_sndbuf() above the for-loop
  (mptcp_for_each_subflow()) present in this version, which will modify
  'subflow' used by __mptcp_propagate_sndbuf() in this new patch. ]
