This series addresses a bunch of issues somewhat related to active
backup handling. The most visible functial issue addressed here is:

https://github.com/multipath-tcp/mptcp_net-next/issues/191

This series also add some specific self-tests, to cover both
active-backup switch-over and proper usage of backup link.

A new netns parameter is introduced:

stale_loss_cnt - the max amount of mptcp rtx timeouts with no progresses
	and outstanding data over a single subflow needed to declare
	such subflow 'stale': no more data will be queue until some ack
	is observed.

This parameter is currently not configurable: I'm undecited if it should
stay under the pm_netlink APIs or under the sysfs. I've a slightly
preference for the latter. Any opinion welcome!

This is only lightly (but painfully) tests, my proposal it to let
it stage in the export branch for some time.

Paolo Abeni (7):
  mptcp: more accurate timeout
  mptcp: less aggressive retransmission stragegy
  mptcp: handle pending data on closed subflow
  mptcp: faster active backup recovery
  mptcp: add mibs for stale subflows processing
  mptcp: backup flag from incoming MPJ ack option
  selftests: mptcp: add testcase for active-back
