[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.14 498/642] mptcp: pm: userspace: flags: clearer msg if no remote addr

From: "Matthieu Baerts (NGI0)" <matttbe@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit 58b21309f97b08b6b9814d1ee1419249eba9ef08 ]

Since its introduction in commit 892f396c8e68 ("mptcp: netlink: issue
MP_PRIO signals from userspace PMs"), it was mandatory to specify the
remote address, because of the 'if (rem->addr.family == AF_UNSPEC)'
check done later one.

In theory, this attribute can be optional, but it sounds better to be
precise to avoid sending the MP_PRIO on the wrong subflow, e.g. if there
are multiple subflows attached to the same local ID. This can be relaxed
later on if there is a need to act on multiple subflows with one
command.

For the moment, the check to see if attr_rem is NULL can be removed,
because mptcp_pm_parse_entry() will do this check as well, no need to do
that differently here.
