    mptcp: add mptcp reset option support · dc87efdb
    Florian Westphal authored
    The MPTCP reset option allows to carry a mptcp-specific error code that
    provides more information on the nature of a connection reset.
    
    Reset option data received gets stored in the subflow context so it can
    be sent to userspace via the 'subflow closed' netlink event.
    
    When a subflow is closed, the desired error code that should be sent to
    the peer is also placed in the subflow context structure.
    
    If a reset is sent before subflow establishment could complete, e.g. on
    HMAC failure during an MP_JOIN operation, the mptcp skb extension is
    used to store the reset information.
