====================
mptcp: expose more info and small improvements
Patch 1-3/9 track and expose some aggregated data counters at the MPTCP
level: the number of retransmissions and the bytes that have been
transferred. The first patch prepares the work by moving where snd_una
is updated for fallback sockets while the last patch adds some tests to
cover the new code.
Patch 4-6/9 introduce a new getsockopt for SOL_MPTCP: MPTCP_FULL_INFO.
This new socket option allows to combine info from MPTCP_INFO,
MPTCP_TCPINFO and MPTCP_SUBFLOW_ADDRS socket options into one. It can be
needed to have all info in one because the path-manager can close and
re-create subflows between getsockopt() and fooling the accounting. The
first patch introduces a unique subflow ID to easily detect when
subflows are being re-created with the same 5-tuple while the last patch
adds some tests to cover the new code.
Please note that patch 5/9 ("mptcp: introduce MPTCP_FULL_INFO getsockopt")
can reveal a bug that were there for a bit of time, see [1]. A fix has
recently been fixed to netdev for the -net tree: "mptcp: ensure listener
is unhashed before updating the sk status", see [2]. There is no
conflicts between the two patches but it might be better to apply this
series after the one for -net and after having merged "net" into
"net-next".
Patch 7/9 is similar to commit 47867f0a7e ("selftests: mptcp: join:
skip check if MIB counter not supported") recently applied in the -net
tree but here it adapts the new code that is only in net-next (and it
fixes a merge conflict resolution which didn't have any impact).
Patch 8 and 9/9 are two simple refactoring. One to consolidate the
transition to TCP_CLOSE in mptcp_do_fastclose() and avoid duplicated
code. The other one reduces the scope of an argument passed to
mptcp_pm_alloc_anno_list() function.

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.
