Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/4] mptcp: support MSG_ERRQUEUE
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 20:38:24 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260918-net-next-mptcp-msg_errqueue-v1-0-dd77e1738248@kernel.org> (raw)
This series lets MPTCP applications use poll(EPOLLERR) and
recvmsg(MSG_ERRQUEUE) on the MPTCP socket to drain TX timestamps
through the standard inet ABI, the same way they would on a plain TCP
socket. ICMP-derived errors stay on the subflow queue: the legacy
RECVERR ABI cannot convey their per-subflow peer identity, and they
are intended for a future MPTCP_RECERR channel.
- Patch 1 splices subflow err-skbs onto the MPTCP's sk_error_queue at
error-report time. All forwarded events go through sock_queue_err_skb,
which re-homes skb->sk onto the MPTCP and charges sk_rmem_alloc, so
the MPTCP's error queue stays bounded by sk_rcvbuf and is dropped under
rmem pressure, matching tcp's tx-timestamp path and ip_icmp_error() /
ipv6_icmp_error(). mptcp_recvmsg(MSG_ERRQUEUE) forwards directly to
inet_recv_error(), and mptcp_poll() advertises EPOLLERR purely on the
MPTCP's sk_err / sk_error_queue, matching tcp_poll().
- Patch 2 factors the existing inet_flags subflow-propagation hard-coded
list into a mask, so the next patch can extend it without churn.
- Patch 3 makes IP_RECVERR / IPV6_RECVERR (and the RFC4884 variants)
propagate to the subflows. The MPTCP stores the bit so MPTCP-aware
helpers can branch on it.
- Patch 4 is a selftest covering the propagation path.
