From 95e645b192d37d761d2f7000b3cfd37db3c556d7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paolo Abeni Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2025 09:16:54 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mptcp: restore window probe commit a824084b98d8a1dbd6e85d0842a8eb5e73467f59 upstream. Since commit 72377ab2d671 ("mptcp: more conservative check for zero probes") the MPTCP-level zero window probe check is always disabled, as the TCP-level write queue always contains at least the newly allocated skb. Refine the relevant check tacking in account that the above condition and that such skb can have zero length.
