Matthieu Baerts (NGI0) 278c56581e mptcp: pm: ADD_ADDR rtx: resched blocked ADD_ADDR quicker 
[ Upstream commit 3cf1249289 ]

When an ADD_ADDR needs to be retransmitted and another one has already
been prepared -- e.g. multiple ADD_ADDRs have been sent in a row and
need to be retransmitted later -- this additional retransmission will
need to wait.

In this case, the timer was reset to TCP_RTO_MAX / 8, which is ~15
seconds. This delay is unnecessary long: it should just be rescheduled
at the next opportunity, e.g. after the retransmission timeout.

Without this modification, some issues can be seen from time to time in
the selftests when multiple ADD_ADDRs are sent, and the host takes time
to process them, e.g. the "signal addresses, ADD_ADDR timeout" MPTCP
Join selftest, especially with a debug kernel config.

Note that on older kernels, 'timeout' is not available. It should be
enough to replace it by one second (HZ).

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
