Shardul Bankar fe76413677 mptcp: do not drop partial packets
[ Upstream commit 50c2d91c5d ]

When a packet arrives with map_seq < ack_seq < end_seq, the beginning
of the packet has already been acknowledged but the end contains new
data. Currently the entire packet is dropped as "old data," forcing
the sender to retransmit.

Instead, skip the already-acked bytes by adjusting the skb offset and
enqueue only the new portion. Update bytes_received and ack_seq to
reflect the new data consumed.

A previous attempt at this fix has been sent by Paolo Abeni [1], but had
issues [2]: it also added a zero-window check and changed rcv_wnd_sent
initialization, which caused test regressions. This version addresses
only the partial packet handling without modifying receive window
accounting.

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.
