Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y] mptcp: pm: reset retrans_time when ADD_ADDR entry is reused
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 22:37:15 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260917023715.3900225-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026091613-definite-creation-7022@gregkh>

From: "Matthieu Baerts (NGI0)" <matttbe@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit f968190c0b42ea2004dc1426359a53ec365a7a37 ]

When an ADD_ADDR entry is reused, the timer is re-armed, because the
goal is to re-announce an ADD_ADDR, and eventually retransmit it if
needed.

In this case, the retransmission counter should be reset as well, so the
re-announced address gets its retransmissions back instead of relying on
what was left before, and possibly not being able to retransmit it.

Fixes: 304ab97f4c7c ("mptcp: allow ADD_ADDR reissuance by userspace PMs")
