Paolo Abeni 2a01665f77 mptcp: avoid unneeded subflow-level drops
commit 4f102d747c upstream.

The rcv window is shared among all the subflows. Currently, MPTCP sync
the TCP-level rcv window with the MPTCP one at tcp_transmit_skb() time.

The above means that incoming data may sporadically observe outdated
TCP-level rcv window and being wrongly dropped by TCP.

Address the issue checking for the edge condition before queuing the
data at TCP level, and eventually syncing the rcv window as needed.

Note that the issue is actually present from the very first MPTCP
implementation, but backports older than the blamed commit below will
range from impossible to useless.

Before:

  $ nstat -n; sleep 1; nstat -z TcpExtBeyondWindow
  TcpExtBeyondWindow              14                 0.0

After:

  $ nstat -n; sleep 1; nstat -z TcpExtBeyondWindow
  TcpExtBeyondWindow              0                  0.0

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 reStructuredText 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.
