From a13d5aad4dd9a309eecdc33cfd75045bd5f376a3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Matthieu Baerts (NGI0)" matttbe@kernel.org Date: Mon, 19 Aug 2024 21:45:20 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] selftests: mptcp: join: check re-using ID of unused ADD_ADDR
This test extends "delete re-add signal" to validate the previous commit. An extra address is announced by the server, but this address cannot be used by the client. The result is that no subflow will be established to this address.
Later, the server will delete this extra endpoint, and set a new one, with a valid address, but re-using the same ID. Before the previous commit, the server would not have been able to announce this new address.
While at it, extra checks have been added to validate the expected numbers of MPJ, ADD_ADDR and RM_ADDR.
The 'Fixes' tag here below is the same as the one from the previous commit: this patch here is not fixing anything wrong in the selftests, but it validates the previous fix for an issue introduced by this commit ID.
Fixes: b6c08380860b ("mptcp: remove addr and subflow in PM netlink")
For the same reasons as the ones invoked for v5.15, I don't think we need to backport this patch to v5.10.
Cheers, Matt
