Mat Martineau says: ==================== MPTCP: Cleanup and address advertisement fixes This patch series contains cleanup and fixes we have been testing in the MPTCP tree. MPTCP uses TCP option headers to advertise additional address information after an initial connection is established. The main fixes here deal with making those advertisements more reliable and improving the way subflows are created after an advertisement is received. Patches 1, 2, 4, 10, and 12 are for various cleanup or refactoring. Patch 3 skips an extra connection attempt if there's already a subflow connection for the newly received advertisement. Patches 5, 6, and 7 make sure that the next address is advertised when there are multiple addresses to share, the advertisement has been retried, and the peer has not echoed the advertisement. Self tests are updated. Patches 8 and 9 fix a problem similar to 5/6/7, but covers a case where the failure was due to a subflow connection not completing. Patches 11 and 13 send a bare ack to revoke an advertisement rather than waiting for other activity to trigger a packet send. This mirrors the way acks are sent for new advertisements. Self test is included. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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.
