From 14c56686a64c65ba716ff48f1f4b19c85f4cb2a9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Geliang Tang geliang.tang@suse.com Date: Wed, 18 Oct 2023 11:23:55 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mptcp: avoid sending RST when closing the initial subflow

When closing the first subflow, the MPTCP protocol unconditionally calls tcp_disconnect(), which in turn generates a reset if the subflow is established.

That is unexpected and different from what MPTCP does with MPJ subflows, where resets are generated only on FASTCLOSE and other edge scenarios.

We can't reuse for the first subflow the same code in place for MPJ subflows, as MPTCP clean them up completely via a tcp_close() call, while must keep the first subflow socket alive for later re-usage, due to implementation constraints.

This patch adds a new helper __mptcp_subflow_disconnect() that encapsulates, a logic similar to tcp_close, issuing a reset only when the MPTCP_CF_FASTCLOSE flag is set, and performing a clean shutdown otherwise.
