[PATCH net-next v2 0/4] mptcp: add TCP_MAXSEG sockopt support

From: Matthieu Baerts (NGI0)
Date: Fri Jul 18 2025 - 18:07:33 EST


The TCP_MAXSEG socket option was not supported by MPTCP, mainly because
it has never been requested before. But there are still valid use-cases,
e.g. with HAProxy.

- Patch 1 is a small cleanup patch in the MPTCP sockopt file.

- Patch 2 expose some code from TCP, to avoid duplicating it in MPTCP.

- Patch 3 adds TCP_MAXSEG sockopt support in MPTCP.

- Patch 4 is not related to the others, it fixes a typo in a comment.

Note that the new TCP_MAXSEG sockopt support has been validated by a new
packetdrill script on the MPTCP CI:

Changes in v2:
