[PATCH mptcp-net v2 1/6] mptcp: pm: userspace: properly handle the ID0 case

"Matthieu Baerts (NGI0)" <[email protected]>
Newsgroups dev.linux.lists.mptcp
Message-ID <20260806-mptcp-pm-userspace-id0-case-v2-1-fea1808e1c57@kernel.org>
In MPTCP, the local address and port used by the initial subflow has the
ID "0". It means that when this address and port are used for some
operations -- e.g. creating a new subflow -- they should be linked to
the ID0, and no other addresses and ports can get this special ID while
the initial IP address and port is used.

So far, the ID0 case was handled as an exception: each operation dealing
with the ID0 had to be handled differently. Except that this was done in
some places like removing the ID0, but not everywhere the list of local
addresses was iterated. This way of handling the ID0 is prone to bugs
and harder to maintain. Instead, the initial local address corresponding
to ID0 can be added to the list when a connection is created, and the
number of exceptions can be dramatically reduced, handling this case
like any others with existing local address. The existing exceptions are
going to be removed in the following patches.

Three new small ones are required:

- To match the ID0 entry when the port is not specified: the initial
  port is used, like before.

- Not to match the ID0 entry when a new ID is required, and the address
  doesn't match.

- For the local_addr_used variable: this variable represents the number
  of extra addresses, not including the one linked to the initial
  subflow. The usage is similar to the one with the in-kernel PM.

In fact, the last two exceptions were also missing before when an entry
for the ID0 was present in the list, e.g. when a subflow from the same
address as the ID0 one was created.

The main downside of this is that each connection will now have one
allocated entry added the list, possibly one more than before. But that
seems OK to do that with the userspace PM where the path management is
done per connection, with many Netlink messages sent back and forth.
Adding a few more bytes per connections on such setup seems acceptable.

v2:
 - List new exceptions in the commit message.
 - Handle local_addr_used with the ID0 case properly. (Sashiko)
 - Handle needs_id where the addrs don't match, but the IDs (0) does. (S)
