Thank you for the v3, the reply to Sashiko's comment, and sorry for the
delay.

Note that I applied the patch from the v2 on top of net, and used the
message that was on the v3. I also reduced the comments in the code.

I got a bunch of conflicts, but that was expected.

Now in our tree:

New patches for t/upstream-net and t/upstream:
- 2b2f15275853: mptcp: pm: fix memory leak from alloc-during-teardown race
- f53bd07233a6: conflict in t/mptcp-pm-init-and-release-mptcp_pm_ops
- 919a44ee381d: "squashed" (with conflicts) in "mptcp: pm: init and
release mptcp_pm_ops"
- c7d92e52241a: conflict in t/mptcp-pm-add-get_local_id-interface
- 58c196b64826: conflict in t/mptcp-pm-add-get_priority-interface
- Results: 8fa2ab05d71f..a811f9685bfd (export-net)
- Results: 588708fb07a7..4cc6862c4795 (export)

Tests are now in progress:

- export-net:
https://github.com/multipath-tcp/mptcp_net-next/commit/a1feb73d0d2bb6aa9873ac55926f920e6d1209ba/checks
- export:

Cheers,
