This is necessary to cope correctly with large sendbuffer (larger then snd wnd)
while respecting the MPTCP level snd window.

A major rework of both xmit and shudown path is required to support this
feature (patches 8 and 9). To try to keep the related patches as small as
possible, a bunch of new helpers is created by patches 3-7.
Note that patch 5 can stand for it's own merit and possibly be upstreamed soon.

Finally patch 10 uses the MPTCP equivalent of tcp_push_pending_frames(), to
spool queued data ad MPTCP level, as soon as the windows allow that.

This iteration includes a few additional fixes (patches 1,2,13) which make the
self-tests much more stable, even if likely some bug is still there.

Note that patches 1 and 2 are bugfixes for the current upstream tree will
target -net/-net-next soon.

Patch 13 is possibly a bit too aggressive, perhaps it could be left staging
in export branch for a while.  

Not strictily related to this series: we currently send DATA_FIN ack only once
- the behaviour is not change here. If that is dropped, we will never
retransmit, and the peer will be stuck.

Florian Westphal (2):
  mptcp: rework poll+nospace handling
  mptcp: keep track of advertised windows right edge

Paolo Abeni (11):
  mptcp: more DATA FIN fixes
  mptcp: don't skip needed ack

  mptcp: add accounting for pending data
  mptcp: introduce MPTCP snd_nxt
  mptcp: refactor shutdown and close
  mptcp: move page frag allocation in mptcp_sendmsg()
  mptcp: try to push pending data on snd una updates
  mptcp: send explicit ack on delayed ack_seq incr
