From 21c02e8272bc95ba0dd44943665c669029b42760 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Matthieu Baerts (NGI0)" matttbe@kernel.org Date: Mon, 7 Apr 2025 20:26:32 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mptcp: only inc MPJoinAckHMacFailure for HMAC failures
Recently, during a debugging session using local MPTCP connections, I noticed MPJoinAckHMacFailure was not zero on the server side. The counter was in fact incremented when the PM rejected new subflows, because the 'subflow' limit was reached.
The fix is easy, simply dissociating the two cases: only the HMAC validation check should increase MPTCP_MIB_JOINACKMAC counter.
