The following patches could not be applied without conflicts in this
tree:

- 2b0f561f21b2 ("mptcp: avoid unneeded actions on subflow reset")
- 42064de57fb8 ("mptcp: close race between scheduler and state change")

I backported the following commit to avoid conflicts:

- ab82e996a1fa ("mptcp: hold mptcp socket before calling tcp_done")

Conflicts (if any) have been resolved, and documented in each patch.

Florian Westphal (1):
  mptcp: hold mptcp socket before calling tcp_done

Paolo Abeni (2):
  mptcp: avoid unneeded actions on subflow reset
  mptcp: close race between scheduler and state change

From: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>

commit ab82e996a1fa1b9ae514fa357d9ce8df62321157 upstream.

When processing options from tcp reset path its possible that
tcp_done(ssk) drops the last reference on the mptcp socket which
results in use-after-free.

From: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>

commit 2b0f561f21b27c40c91ea4975268a06092bd7e9c upstream.

Once in a blue moon, the mptcp receive path can recursively call
mptcp_data_ready() via state change under unlucky error conditions, and
then try to hold the data lock again.

Break the recursion loop explicitly checking for the exceptional
condition.

Add a new flag instead of using an existing one like 'closing', to exit
early in subflow_state_change(), and explicitly flush the RX queue at
reset time.

This avoids unneeded processing to check for available data -- calling
get_mapping_status() and more on a dying subflow -- but also in error
reporting and worker scheduling.

Note that we must consume the currently peeked skb before invoking
mptcp_dss_corruption to avoid consuming it again after the eventual
reset has freed it.

[ Note: conflict in protocol.c, because commit e0ca4057e0ec ("mptcp:
  micro-optimize __mptcp_move_skb()") is not in this version, and is
  part of a consequent rx path refactor. The conflict is in the context,
  and is easy to resolve, "done = true" can be moved along without
  consequences. Also, the context is slightly different because there is
  no DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE in this version, see the backport commit
  12c1676d598e ("mptcp: handle consistently DSS corruption").
  Also a conflict in protocol.h, because __unused is at a different
  number. Decrement the one from this version and add the new flag
  above. The context is also a bit different with data_avail being an
  enum, but that's without consequences here.
  Also a conflict in subflow.c, because commit 71154bbe4942 ("mptcp:
  fallback earlier on simult connection") was not needed in this
  version, and cause conflicts in the context, but that's without
  consequences here. Also, a conflict in the context, because commit
  81c1d0290160 ("mptcp: consolidate fallback and non fallback state
  machine") was not needed in this version. ]

From: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>

commit 42064de57fb83231fcc89663a94885f228a1ee53 upstream.

The mptcp scheduler may race with subflow sockets state change: data
transmission on the selected socket may fail and a later release could
try to use mss_now reset to 0 for a divide operation.

Address the issue by explicitly checking for the critical scenario.
