commit4b1ff850e0upstream. 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.
