The path manager events have already been upstream for a while, and this patch series adds four netlink commands for userspace: * MPTCP_PM_CMD_ANNOUNCE: advertise an address that's available for additional subflow connections. * MPTCP_PM_CMD_REMOVE: revoke an advertisement * MPTCP_PM_CMD_SUBFLOW_CREATE: initiate a new subflow on an existing MPTCP connection * MPTCP_PM_CMD_SUBFLOW_DESTROY: close a subflow on an existing MPTCP connection Userspace path managers, such as mptcpd, can be more easily customized for different devices. The in-kernel path manager remains available to handle server use cases. Patches 1-3 update common path manager code (used by both in-kernel and userspace PMs) Patches 4, 6, and 8 implement the new generic netlink commands. Patches 5, 7, and 9-13 add self test support and test cases for the new path manager commands. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller --- 6a9b3de82516551543d153aefa8fe3577cea7271
