RFC 8684 appendix D describes the connection state machine for MPTCP. This patch implements the DATA_FIN / DATA_ACK exchanges and MPTCP-level socket state changes described in that appendix, rather than simply sending DATA_FIN along with TCP FIN when disconnecting subflows. DATA_FIN is now sent and acknowledged before shutting down the subflows. Received DATA_FIN information (if not part of a data packet) is written to the MPTCP socket when the incoming DSS option is parsed by the subflow, and the MPTCP worker is scheduled to process the flag. DATA_FIN received as part of a full DSS mapping will be handled when the mapping is processed. The DATA_FIN is acknowledged by the worker if the reader is caught up. If there is still data to be moved to the MPTCP-level queue, ack_seq will be incremented to account for the DATA_FIN when it reaches the end of the stream and a DATA_ACK will be sent to the peer.

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.
