The patch below does not apply to the 5.15-stable tree. If someone wants it applied there, or to any other stable or longterm tree, then please email the backport, including the original git commit id to stable@vger.kernel.org.
Thank you for this notification and all the recent backports!
I think it is best not to try to backport "mptcp: use the workqueue to destroy unaccepted sockets" to < 6.1 versions (so v5.15 and v5.10): as I mentioned in my cover-letter [1], even if it looks like the issue is present for quite a while, it is only reproducible until recently (v6.0+). Plus this patch depends on "mptcp: refactor passive socket initialization" which is can only be backported up to v6.0.
So please, do not try to resolve conflicts for this patch for v5.15 and v5.10. I will try to resolve the conflicts for the other patches linked to MPTCP (only failing to apply in v6.1 apparently).
