This patch series from the MPTCP tree contains enhancements and associated tests for the ADD_ADDR ("add address") MPTCP option. This option allows already-connected MPTCP peers to share additional IP addresses with each other, which can then be used to create additional subflows within those MPTCP connections.
Patches 1 & 2 remove duplicated data in the per-connection path manager structure. Patches 3-6 initiate additional subflows when an address is added using the netlink path manager interface and improve ADD_ADDR signaling reliability, subject to configured limits. Self tests are also updated. Patches 7-15 add new support for optional port numbers in ADD_ADDR. This includes creating an additional in-kernel TCP listening socket for the requested port number, validating the port number when processing incoming subflow connections, including the port number in netlink interfaces, and adding some new MIBs. New self test cases are added for subflows connecting with alternate port numbers. v2: Address review comments for patch 1 (drop unnecessary READ_ONCE() under lock). Drop patch 16, which will be submitted later.
