In MPTCP, a path manager is responsible for adding or removing additional subflows on each MPTCP connection. The in-kernel path manager (already part of the kernel) is a better fit for many server use cases, but the additional flexibility of userspace path managers is often useful for client devices. Patches 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 do some refactoring to streamline the netlink event implementation in the final patch. Patch 3 improves the timeliness of subflow destruction to ensure the 'subflow closed' event will be sent soon enough. Patch 7 allows use of the GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM flag on genl mcast groups to mandate CAP_NET_ADMIN, which is important to protect token information in the MPTCP events. This is a genetlink change. Patch 8 adds the MPTCP netlink events. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller --- 0a2f6b32cc45e3918321779fe90c28f1ed27d2af
