[PATCH net 1/7] mptcp: drop the push_pending field

From: Matthieu Baerts (NGI0)
Date: Thu Feb 08 2024 - 13:04:53 EST


From: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@xxxxxxxxxx>

Such field is there to avoid acquiring the data lock in a few spots,
but it adds complexity to the already non trivial locking schema.

All the relevant call sites (mptcp-level re-injection, set socket
options), are slow-path, drop such field in favor of 'cb_flags', adding
the relevant locking.

This patch could be seen as an improvement, instead of a fix. But it
simplifies the next patch. The 'Fixes' tag has been added to help having
this series backported to stable.
