Because of the size restriction in the TCP options space, the MPTCP
ADD_ADDR option is exclusive and cannot be sent with other MPTCP ones.
For this reason, in the linked mptcp_out_options structure, group of
fields linked to different options are part of the same union.
There is a case where the mptcp_pm_add_addr_signal() function can modify
opts->addr, but not ended up sending an ADD_ADDR. Later on, back in
mptcp_established_options, other options will be sent, but with
unexpected data written in other fields due to the union, e.g. in
opts->ext_copy. This could lead to a data stream corruption in the next
packet.
Using an intermediate variable, prevents from corrupting previously
established DSS option. The assignment of the ADD_ADDR option
parameters is now done once we are sure this ADD_ADDR option can be set
in the packet, e.g. after having dropped other suboptions.

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 reStructuredText 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.
