Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mptcp: avoid unneeded actions on subflow reset Once in a blue moon, the mptcp receive path can recursively call mptcp_data_ready() via state change under unlucky error conditions, and then try to hold the data lock again. Break the recursion loop explicitly checking for the exceptional condition. Add a new flag instead of using an existing one like 'closing', to exit early in subflow_state_change(), and explicitly flush the
