RFC2861https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2861 specifies a idle check in regular TCP. And I find out that only meta_tp will get in to the tcp_slow_start_after_idle_check function and reduce the cwnd of meta_tp which is always 10MSS. I am wondering why tcp sockets of subflows do not get into the function and make the same progress as meta_tp? By the way, the tcp_cwnd_application_limited works well for subflows and the net.ipv4.tcp_slow_start_after_idle is always set to 1.

I am using Ubuntu 16.04 to install mptcp v0.95 and printk function to get the in-kernel information.

The tcp_slow_start_after_idle_check function is in the source code /include/net/tcp.h.
tcp_cwnd_application_limited in /net/ipv4/tcp_output.c

Thank you for answering questions.

Thanks for this report!

We should start using skb_entail in mptcp_skb_entail.

pabeni pushed a commit to pabeni/mptcp that referenced this issue Mar 2, 2020
When we use SPARSEMEM instead of SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, pfn_to_page()
doesn't work before sparse_init_one_section() is called.

This leads to a crash when hotplug memory:

    BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 0000000006400000

We should use memmap as it did.

On x86 the impact is limited to x86_32 builds, or x86_64 configurations
that override the default setting for SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP.

Other memory hotplug archs (arm64, ia64, and ppc) also default to
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP=y.
