Overall, we encountered a warning [1] that can be triggered by running the selftest I provided.
MPTCP creates subflows for data transmission between two endpoints. However, BPF can use sockops to perform additional operations when TCP completes the three-way handshake. The issue arose because we used sockmap in sockops, which replaces sk->sk_prot and some handlers. Since subflows also have their own specialized handlers, this creates a conflict and leads to traffic failure. Therefore, we need to reject operations targeting subflows.
This patchset simply prevents the combination of subflows and sockmap without changing any functionality.
A complete integration of MPTCP and sockmap would require more effort, for example, we would need to retrieve the parent socket from subflows in sockmap and implement handlers like read_skb.
If maintainers don't object, we can further improve this in subsequent work.
