commit f755be0b1ff429a2ecf709beeb1bcd7abc111c2b upstream.
When the MPTCP DATA FIN have been ACKed, there is no more MPTCP related
metadata to exchange, and all subflows can be safely shutdown.
Before this patch, the subflows were actually terminated at 'close()'
time. That's certainly fine most of the time, but not when the userspace
'shutdown()' a connection, without close()ing it. When doing so, the
subflows were staying in LAST_ACK state on one side -- and consequently
in FIN_WAIT2 on the other side -- until the 'close()' of the MPTCP
socket.
Now, when the DATA FIN have been ACKed, all subflows are shutdown. A
consequence of this is that the TCP 'FIN' flag can be set earlier now,
but the end result is the same. This affects the packetdrill tests
looking at the end of the MPTCP connections, but for a good reason.
Note that tcp_shutdown() will check the subflow state, so no need to do
that again before calling it.
