    mptcp: keep track of local endpoint still available for each msk · 86e39e04
    Paolo Abeni authored
    Include into the path manager status a bitmap tracking the list
    of local endpoints still available - not yet used - for the
    relevant mptcp socket.
    
    Keep such map updated at endpoint creation/deletion time, so
    that we can easily skip already used endpoint at local address
    selection time.
    
    The endpoint used by the initial subflow is lazyly accounted at
    subflow creation time: the usage bitmap is be up2date before
    endpoint selection and we avoid such unneeded task in some relevant
    scenarios - e.g. busy servers accepting incoming subflows but
    not creating any additional ones nor annuncing additional addresses.
    
    Overall this allows for fair local endpoints usage in case of
    subflow failure.
    
    As a side effect, this patch also enforces that each endpoint
    is used at most once for each mptcp connection.
