    mptcp: set correct vfs info for subflows · 7d14b0d2
    Paolo Abeni authored
    When a subflow is created via mptcp_subflow_create_socket(),
    a new 'struct socket' is allocated, with a new i_ino value.
    
    When inspecting TCP sockets via the procfs and or the diag
    interface, the above ones are not related to the process owning
    the MPTCP master socket, even if they are a logical part of it
    ('ss -p' shows an empty process field)
    
    Additionally, subflows created by the path manager get
    the uid/gid from the running workqueue.
    
    Subflows are part of the owning MPTCP master socket, let's
    adjust the vfs info to reflect this.
    
    After this patch, 'ss' correctly displays subflows as belonging
    to the msk socket creator.
    
    Fixes: 2303f994 ("mptcp: Associate MPTCP context with TCP socket")
