Will be used to initialize the mptcp request socket when a MP_CAPABLE request was handled in syncookie mode, i.e. when a TCP ACK containing a MP_CAPABLE option is a valid syncookie value. Normally (non-cookie case), MPTCP will generate a unique 32 bit connection ID and stores it in the MPTCP token storage to be able to retrieve the mptcp socket for subflow joining. In syncookie case, we do not want to store any state, so just generate the unique ID and use it in the reply. This means there is a small window where another connection could generate the same token. When Cookie ACK comes back, we check that the token has not been registered in the mean time. If it was, the connection needs to fall back to TCP. Changes in v2: - use req->syncookie instead of passing 'want_cookie' arg to ->init_req() (Eric Dumazet) Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Reviewed-by: Mat Martineau <mathew.j.martineau@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
