David S. Miller 08a45c59f1 Merge branch 'mptcp-part-two'
Christoph Paasch says:

====================
Multipath TCP part 2: Single subflow & RFC8684 support

v2 -> v3: Added RFC8684-style handshake (see below fore more details) and some minor fixes
v1 -> v2: Rebased on latest "Multipath TCP: Prerequisites" v3 series

This set adds MPTCP connection establishment, writing & reading MPTCP
options on data packets, a sysctl to allow MPTCP per-namespace, and self
tests. This is sufficient to establish and maintain a connection with a
MPTCP peer, but will not yet allow or initiate establishment of
additional MPTCP subflows.

We also add the necessary code for the RFC8684-style handshake.
RFC8684 obsoletes the experimental RFC6824 and makes MPTCP move-on to
version 1.

Originally our plan was to submit single-subflow and RFC8684 support in
two patchsets, but to simplify the merging-process and ensure that a coherent
MPTCP-version lands in Linux we decided to merge the two sets into a single
one.

The MPTCP patchset exclusively supports RFC 8684. Although all MPTCP
deployments are currently based on RFC 6824, future deployments will be
migrating to MPTCP version 1. 3GPP's 5G standardization also solely supports
RFC 8684. In addition, we believe that this initial submission of MPTCP will be
cleaner by solely supporting RFC 8684. If later on support for the old
MPTCP-version is required it can always be added in the future.

The major difference between RFC 8684 and RFC 6824 is that it has a better
support for servers using TCP SYN-cookies by reliably retransmitting the
MP_CAPABLE option.

Before ending this cover letter with some refs, it is worth mentioning
that we promise David Miller that merging this series will be rewarded by
Twitter dopamine hits :-D

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
