Hi Max, I'm not responsible for net/mptcp/pm_netlink.c nor can I be found in git blame of that file. Why did you send this patch to me and having all the relevant persons in CC? Best regards, Oliver On 10.09.25 11:28, Heyne, Maximilian wrote:

From: "Matthieu Baerts (NGI0)" <matttbe@kernel.org> commit 68fc0f4b0d25692940cdc85c68e366cae63e1757 upstream. A flush of the MPTCP endpoints should not affect the MPTCP limits. In other words, 'ip mptcp endpoint flush' should not change 'ip mptcp limits'. But it was the case: the MPTCP_PM_ATTR_RCV_ADD_ADDRS (add_addr_accepted) limit was reset by accident. Removing the reset of this counter during a flush fixes this issue.
