All the mptcp receive path is protected by the msk socket spinlock. As consequences, the tx path has to play a few tricks to allocate the forward memory without acquiring the spinlock multiple times, making the overall TX path quite complex. This patch tries to clean-up a bit the tx path, using completely separated fwd memory allocation, for the rx and the tx path. The forward memory allocated in the rx path is now accounted in msk->rmem_fwd_alloc and is (still) protected by the msk socket spinlock. To cope with the above we provide a few MPTCP-specific variants for the helpers to charge, uncharge, reclaim and free the forward memory in the receive path. msk->sk_forward_alloc now accounts only the forward memory for the tx path, we can use the plain core sock helper to manipulate it and drop quite a bit of complexity. On memory pressure, both rx and tx fwd memories are reclaimed.

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.
