Subject: [PATCH 5.15.y] mptcp: fix MP_CAPABLE token migration when cloning reqsk
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 14:09:56 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110190829.3442804-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261107060753-failed-5.15-2093bc7fa500@kernel.org>

From: Ruide Cao <caoruide123@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 2093bc7fa50056fef8620d2b82bcb2e9a0a5575d ]

TCP request migration clones pending request sockets with
inet_reqsk_clone().  For MPTCP MP_CAPABLE requests this byte-copies the
token_node hlist state into the clone even though the token table still
names the original request, and the following warning can be seen:

  WARNING: net/mptcp/token.c:364 at mptcp_token_destroy_request+0x2b0/0x330, CPU#2: swapper/2/0
  CPU: 2 UID: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/2 Not tainted 7.2.0-rc5-00353-gc27e36054537 #10 PREEMPT(full)
  RIP: 0010:mptcp_token_destroy_request (net/mptcp/token.c:364 (discriminator 1))
  Call Trace:
   <IRQ>
   subflow_v4_req_destructor (net/mptcp/subflow.c:694)
   __reqsk_free (net/ipv4/inet_connection_sock.c:906)
   reqsk_timer_handler (include/net/request_sock.h:137 net/ipv4/inet_connection_sock.c:1147)
   call_timer_fn (kernel/time/timer.c:1748)

Move token request ownership from the original request to the clone under
the token bucket lock.  Make mptcp_token_accept() and
mptcp_token_destroy_request() re-check token_node under the same lock and
treat an already moved or removed request as a normal race instead of
warning.  This also keeps token bucket chain_len accounting balanced.

If a passive MP_CAPABLE socket cannot claim the token, destroy the
provisional MPTCP socket and let the subflow fall back rather than
installing a socket with mismatched token ownership.  Mark that path as a
passive handshake fallback so MPCapableFallbackACK records the downgrade.

If the speculative clone later loses the inet_ehash_insert() ownership
arbitration, the original request may find that its token was already moved
and fall back to plain TCP.  The clone destructor then releases the token
reservation and keeps chain_len balanced.  This trades an exceptionally
rare fallback for eliminating the warning and persistent accounting drift.

Fixes: c905dee62232 ("tcp: Migrate TCP_NEW_SYN_RECV requests at retransmitting SYN+ACKs.")
