[PATCH net 5/7] mptcp: refresh tcp rcv_wnd snapshot when syncing receive windows

From: Wesley Atwell <hidden>
Date: 2026-03-11 07:56:38
Also in: linux-doc, linux-kselftest, linux-trace-kernel, lkml, mptcp, netdev
Subsystem: networking [general], networking [mptcp], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Matthieu Baerts, Mat Martineau, Linus Torvalds

MPTCP rewrites the TCP shadow receive window on subflows when shared
receive-window state changes.

Once tp->rcv_wnd carries paired snapshot semantics, those subflow shadow
updates have to refresh the snapshot too. Convert the MPTCP window-sync
write sites to use the helper and keep the aggregate receive-space
arithmetic using the explicit rwnd-availability helper.
