mptcp: fix length of MP_PRIO suboption
With version 0 of the protocol it was legal to encode the 'Subflow Id' in the MP_PRIO suboption, to specify which subflow would change its 'Backup' flag. This has been removed from v1 specification: thus, according to RFC 8684 ยง3.3.8, the resulting 'Length' for MP_PRIO changed from 4 to 3 byte. Current Linux generates / parses MP_PRIO according to the old spec, using 'Length' equal to 4, and hardcoding 1 as 'Subflow Id'; RFC compliance can improve if we change 'Length' in other to become 3, leaving a 'Nop' after the MP_PRIO suboption. In this way the kernel will emit and accept *only* MP_PRIO suboptions that are compliant to version 1 of the MPTCP protocol. unpatched 5.11-rc kernel: [root@bottarga ~]# tcpdump -tnnr unpatched.pcap | grep prio reading from file unpatched.pcap, link-type LINUX_SLL (Linux cooked v1) dropped privs to tcpdump IP 10.0.3.2.48433 > 10.0.1.1.10006: Flags [.], ack 1, win 502, options [nop,nop,TS val 4032325513 ecr 1876514270,mptcp prio non-backup id 1,mptcp dss ack 14084896651682217737], length 0 patched 5.11-rc kernel: [root@bottarga ~]# tcpdump -tnnr patched.pcap | grep prio reading from file patched.pcap, link-type LINUX_SLL (Linux cooked v1) dropped privs to tcpdump IP 10.0.3.2.49735 > 10.0.1.1.10006: Flags [.], ack 1, win 502, options [nop,nop,TS val 1276737699 ecr 2686399734,mptcp prio non-backup,nop,mptcp dss ack 18433038869082491686], length 0 Changes since v2: - when accounting for option space, don't increment 'TCPOLEN_MPTCP_PRIO' and use 'TCPOLEN_MPTCP_PRIO_ALIGN' instead, thanks to Matthieu Baerts. Changes since v1: - refactor patch to avoid using 'TCPOLEN_MPTCP_PRIO' with its old value, thanks to Geliang Tang.
