From 1bba3f219c5e8c29e63afa3c1fc24f875ebec119 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paolo Abeni pabeni@redhat.com Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2025 08:20:22 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mptcp: do not fallback when OoO is present
In case of DSS corruption, the MPTCP protocol tries to avoid the subflow reset if fallback is possible. Such corruptions happen in the receive path; to ensure fallback is possible the stack additionally needs to check for OoO data, otherwise the fallback will break the data stream.
