Matthieu Baerts says: ==================== mptcp: fix fallback-related races This series contains 3 fixes somewhat related to various races we have while handling fallback. The root cause of the issues addressed here is that the check for "we can fallback to tcp now" and the related action are not atomic. That also applies to fallback due to MP_FAIL -- where the window race is even wider. Address the issue introducing an additional spinlock to bundle together all the relevant events, as per patch 1 and 2. These fixes can be backported up to v5.19 and v5.15. Note that mptcp_disconnect() unconditionally clears the fallback status (zeroing msk->flags) but don't touch the `allows_infinite_fallback` flag. Such issue is addressed in patch 3, and can be backported up to v5.17. ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250714-net-mptcp-fallback-races-v1-0-391aff963322@kernel.org 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 reStructuredText 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.
