A few variables linked to the in-kernel Path-Manager are confusing, and it would help current and future developers, to clarify them. One of them is 'add_addr_accept_max', which in fact represents the limit of ADD_ADDR that can be accepted: the limit set via 'ip mptcp limit add_addr_accepted X' for example. It is not linked to the maximum number of accepted ADD_ADDR. While at it, add an additional name for the corresponding variable in MPTCP INFO: mptcpi_limit_add_addr_accepted. Not to break the current uAPI, the new name is added as a 'define' pointing to the former name. This will then also help userspace devs. No functional changes intended.

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.
