From 3f4a08909e2c740f8045efc74c4cf82eeaae3e36 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Davide Caratti Date: Thu, 23 Sep 2021 17:04:12 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mptcp: allow changing the 'backup' bit when no sockets are open current Linux refuses to change the 'backup' bit of MPTCP endpoints, i.e. using MPTCP_PM_CMD_SET_FLAGS, unless it finds (at least) one subflow that matches the endpoint address. There is no reason for that, so we can just ignore the return value of mptcp_nl_addr_backup(). In this way, endpoints can reconfigure their 'backup' flag even if no MPTCP sockets are open (or more generally, in case the MP_PRIO message is not sent out).
