The special C-flag case expects the ADD_ADDR to be received when
switching to 'fully-established'. But for various reasons, the ADD_ADDR
could be sent after the "4th ACK", and the special case doesn't work.
On NIPA, the new test validating this special case for the C-flag failed
a few times, e.g.
102 default limits, server deny join id 0
syn rx [FAIL] got 0 JOIN[s] syn rx expected 2
Server ns stats
(...)
MPTcpExtAddAddrTx 1
MPTcpExtEchoAdd 1
Client ns stats
(...)
MPTcpExtAddAddr 1
MPTcpExtEchoAddTx 1
synack rx [FAIL] got 0 JOIN[s] synack rx expected 2
ack rx [FAIL] got 0 JOIN[s] ack rx expected 2
join Rx [FAIL] see above
syn tx [FAIL] got 0 JOIN[s] syn tx expected 2
join Tx [FAIL] see above
I had a suspicion about what the issue could be: the ADD_ADDR might have
been received after the switch to the 'fully-established' state. The
issue was not easy to reproduce. The packet capture shown that the
ADD_ADDR can indeed be sent with a delay, and the client would not try
to establish subflows to it as expected.
A simple fix is not to mark the endpoints as 'used' in the C-flag case,
when looking at creating subflows to the remote initial IP address and
port. In this case, there is no need to try.
Note: newly added fullmesh endpoints will still continue to be used as
expected, thanks to the conditions behind mptcp_pm_add_addr_c_flag_case.

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.
