The TCP subflow can process the simult-connect syn-ack packet after
transitioning to TCP_FIN1 state, bypassing the MPTCP fallback check,
as the sk_state_change() callback is not invoked for * -> FIN_WAIT1
transitions.

That will move the msk socket to an inconsistent status and the next
incoming data will hit the reported splat.

Close the race moving the simult-fallback check at the earliest possible
stage - that is at syn-ack generation time.

Since we need to track the 'fallback is possible' condition and the
fallback status separately, there are a few possible races open between
the check and the actual fallback action.

Add a spinlock to protect the fallback related information and use it
close all the possible related races. While at it also remove the
too-early clearing of allow_infinite_fallback in __mptcp_subflow_connect():
the field will be correctly cleared by subflow_finish_connect() if/when
the connection will complete successfully.

If fallback is not possible, as per RFC, reset the current subflow.

Since the fallback operation can now fail and return value should be
checked, rename the helper accordingly.

mptcp: Fix data stream corruption in the address announcement 2025-03-20T14:12:22+00:00 Arthur Mongodin amongodin@randorisec.fr 2025-03-14T20:11:31+00:00 2c1f97a52cb827a5f2768e67a9dddffae1ed47ab Because of the size restriction in the TCP options space, the MPTCP ADD_ADDR option is exclusive and cannot be sent with other MPTCP ones. For this reason, in the linked mptcp_out_options structure, group of fields linked to different options are part of the same union. There is a case where the mptcp_pm_add_addr_signal() function can modify opts->addr, but not ended up sending an ADD_ADDR. Later on, back in mptcp_established_options, other options will be sent, but with unexpected data written in other fields due to the union, e.g. in opts->ext_copy. This could lead to a data stream corruption in the next packet. Using an intermediate variable, prevents from corrupting previously established DSS option. The assignment of the ADD_ADDR option parameters is now done once we are sure this ADD_ADDR option can be set in the packet, e.g. after having dropped other suboptions.
