Florian Westphal says: ==================== mptcp: do not block on subflow socket This series reworks mptcp_sendmsg logic to avoid blocking on the subflow socket. It does so by removing the wait loop from mptcp_sendmsg_frag helper. In order to do that, it moves prerequisites that are currently handled in mptcp_sendmsg_frag (and cause it to wait until they are met, e.g. frag cache refill) into the callers. The worker can just reschedule in case no subflow socket is ready, since it can't wait -- doing so would block other work items and doesn't make sense anyway because we should not (re)send data in case resources are already low. The sendmsg path can use the existing wait logic until memory becomes available. Because large send requests can result in multiple mptcp_sendmsg_frag calls from mptcp_sendmsg, we may need to restart the socket lookup in case subflow can't accept more data or memory is low. Doing so blocks on the mptcp socket, and existing wait handling releases the msk lock while blocking. Lastly, no need to use GFP_ATOMIC for extension allocation: extend __skb_ext_alloc with gfp_t arg instead of hard-coded ATOMIC and then relax the allocation constraints for mptcp case: those requests occur in process context. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
