In subflow_syn_recv_sock() we currently skip options parsing for OoO packet, given that such packets may not carry the relevant MPC option. If the peer generates an MPC+data TSO packet and some of the early segments are lost or get reorder, we server will ignore the peer key, causing transient, unexpected fallback to TCP. The solution is always parsing the incoming MPTCP options, and do the fallback only for in-order packets. This actually cleans the existing code a bit. Reported-by: Matthieu Baerts <matthieu.baerts@tessares.net> Fixes: d22f4988ffec ("mptcp: process MP_CAPABLE data option") Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> --- a note on data ack len: with this patch the server will use ack32 for OoO MPC+data pkts, and will move to ack64 ASA will get the first in order MPC+data pkt. We can clean-up/make more consistent the behavior with some additional check in mptcp_sk_clone and/or subflow_syn_recv_sock(), but I prefer to not introduce only partially related changes here --- net/mptcp/subflow.c | 17 ++++++++--------- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-)
