commit 4b1ff850e0c1aacc23e923ed22989b827b9808f9 upstream.
When servers set the C-flag in their MP_CAPABLE to tell clients not to
create subflows to the initial address and port, clients will likely not
use their other endpoints. That's because the in-kernel path-manager
uses the 'subflow' endpoints to create subflows only to the initial
address and port.
If the limits have not been modified to accept ADD_ADDR, the client
doesn't try to establish new subflows. If the limits accept ADD_ADDR,
the routing routes will be used to select the source IP.
The C-flag is typically set when the server is operating behind a legacy
Layer 4 load balancer, or using anycast IP address. Clients having their
different 'subflow' endpoints setup, don't end up creating multiple
subflows as expected, and causing some deployment issues.
A special case is then added here: when servers set the C-flag in the
MPC and directly sends an ADD_ADDR, this single ADD_ADDR is accepted.
The 'subflows' endpoints will then be used with this new remote IP and
port. This exception is only allowed when the ADD_ADDR is sent
immediately after the 3WHS, and makes the client switching to the 'fully
established' mode. After that, 'select_local_address()' will not be able
to find any subflows, because 'id_avail_bitmap' will be filled in
mptcp_pm_create_subflow_or_signal_addr(), when switching to 'fully
established' mode.

[ Conflict in pm.c, because commit 498d7d8b75f1 ("mptcp: pm: remove
'_nl' from mptcp_pm_nl_is_init_remote_addr") renamed an helper in the
context, and it is not in this version. The same new code can be
applied at the same place.
Conflict in pm_kernel.c, because the modified code has been moved from
pm_netlink.c to pm_kernel.c in commit 8617e85e04bd ("mptcp: pm: split
in-kernel PM specific code"), which is not in this version. The
resolution is easy: simply by applying the patch where 'pm_kernel.c'
has been replaced 'pm_netlink.c'.
Conflict in pm_netlink.c, because commit b83fbca1b4c9 ("mptcp: pm:
reduce entries iterations on connect") is not in this version. Instead
of using the 'locals' variable (struct mptcp_pm_local *) from the new
version and embedding a "struct mptcp_addr_info", we can simply
continue to use the 'addrs' variable (struct mptcp_addr_info *).
Conflict in protocol.h, because commit af3dc0ad3167 ("mptcp: Remove
unused declaration mptcp_sockopt_sync()") is not in this version and
it removed one line in the context. The resolution is easy because the
new function can still be added at the same place. ]

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.
