mptcp: check the protocol in tcp_sk() with DEBUG_NET

Browse source

Fuzzers and static checkers might not detect when tcp_sk() is used with
a non tcp_sock structure.

This kind of mistake already happened a few times with MPTCP: when
wrongly using TCP-specific helpers with mptcp_sock pointers. On the
other hand, there are many 'tcp_xxx()' helpers that are taking a 'struct
sock' pointer as arguments, and some of them are only looking at fields
from 'struct sock', and nothing from 'struct tcp_sock'. It is then
tempting to use them with a 'struct mptcp_sock'.

So a new simple check is done when CONFIG_DEBUG_NET is enabled to tell
kernel devs when a non-TCP socket is being used as a TCP one. 'tcp_sk()'
macro is then re-defined to add a WARN when an unexpected socket is
being used.
