[PATCH net 2/4] mptcp: fix subflow bitfield misuse

flat view
COOLING4d IN LINUX-NEXT: 1 (1M)

From: "Matthieu Baerts (NGI0)" <matttbe@kernel.org>
Date: 2026-10-13 14:29:54
Also in: lkml, mptcp, stable
Subsystem: networking [general], networking [mptcp], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Matthieu Baerts, Mat Martineau, Linus Torvalds

1 review trailer (1 from subsystem maintainers); queued in linux-next as 7538fa33bb2f on 2026-10-17.

From: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>

The subflow status bitfield is protected by the subflow socket lock,
with one notable exception: the `close_event_done` bit is actually under
the msk socket lock protection.

As reported by Clashiko [1], flipping the latter bit may corrupt other
entries in the same bitfield.

Move the `close_event_done` outside the bitfield, in a 32bit hole.
