On MPTCP-level ack reception, the packet scheduler may select a subflow other then the current one. Prior to this commit we rely on the workqueue to trigger action on such subflow. This changeset introduces an infrastructure that allows any MPTCP subflow to schedule actions (MPTCP xmit) on others subflows without resorting to (multiple) process reschedule. A dummy NAPI instance is used instead. When MPTCP needs to trigger action an a different subflow, it enqueues the target subflow on the NAPI backlog and schedule such instance as needed. The dummy NAPI poll method walks the sockets backlog and tries to acquire the (BH) socket lock on each of them. If the socket is owned by the user space, the action will be completed by the sock release cb, otherwise push is started. This change leverages the delegated action infrastructure to avoid invoking the MPTCP worker to spool the pending data, when the packet scheduler picks a subflow other then the one currently processing the incoming MPTCP-level ack. Additionally we further refine the subflow selection invoking the packet scheduler for each chunk of data even inside __mptcp_subflow_push_pending(). v1 -> v2: - fix possible UaF at shutdown time, resetting sock ops after removing the ulp context Reviewed-by: Mat Martineau <mathew.j.martineau@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
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.
