Ensure enough space before adding MPTCP options in tcp_syn_options()
Added a check to verify sufficient remaining space
before inserting MPTCP options in SYN packets.
This prevents issues when space is insufficient.

Thank you for this patch. I'm surprised we all missed this check, but
yes it is missing.

As mentioned by Eric in his previous email, please add a 'Fixes' tag.
For bug-fixes, you should also Cc stable and target 'net', not 'net-next':

Fixes: cec37a6e41aa ("mptcp: Handle MP_CAPABLE options for outgoing
connections")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org


Regarding the code, it looks OK to me, as we did exactly that with
mptcp_synack_options(). In mptcp_established_options(), we pass
'remaining' because many MPTCP options can be set, but not here. So I
guess that's fine to keep the code like that, especially for the 'net' tree.


Also, and linked to Eric's email, did you have an issue with that, or is
it to prevent issues in the future?


One last thing, please don’t repost your patches within one 24h period, see:

  https://docs.kernel.org/process/maintainer-netdev.html


Because the code is OK to me, and the same patch has already been sent
twice to the netdev ML within a few hours, I'm going to apply this patch
in our MPTCP tree with the suggested modifications. Later on, we will
send it for inclusion in the net tree.

pw-bot: awaiting-upstream

(Not sure this pw-bot instruction will work as no net/mptcp/* files have
been modified)

Cheers,
Matt
