Mat Martineau says: ==================== mptcp: Add port parameter to ADD_ADDR option The ADD_ADDR MPTCP option is used to announce available IP addresses that a peer may connect to when adding more TCP subflows to an existing MPTCP connection. There is an optional port number field in that ADD_ADDR header, and this patch set adds capability for that port number to be sent and received. Patches 1, 2, and 4 refactor existing ADD_ADDR code to simplify implementation of port number support. Patches 3 and 5 are the main functional changes, for sending and receiving the port number in the MPTCP ADD_ADDR option. Patch 6 sends the ADD_ADDR option with port number on a bare TCP ACK, since the extra length of the option may run in to cases where sufficient TCP option space is not available on a data packet. Patch 7 plumbs in port number support for the in-kernel MPTCP path manager. Patches 8-11 add some optional debug output and a little more cleanup refactoring. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
