Multipath tcp (mptcp) is now part of the official linux kernel. The
official kernel still lacks features compared to this out of tree ones
but considering the userbase, I dont see any compelling reason.
I keep using that kernel and those utilities so they will stay packaged
at https://github.com/teto/mptcp-flake where they wont annoy the whole
nixpkgs crowd that doesn't care about it.
Without the change build on upstream gcc-10 fals as:
ld: ipxfrm.o:(.bss+0x0): multiple definition of `filter'; ipmroute.o:(.bss+0x0): first defined here
ld: xfrm_monitor.o:(.bss+0x0): multiple definition of `listen_all_nsid'; ipmonitor.o:(.bss+0x0): first defined here
This reverts commit c778945806.
I believe this is exactly what brings the staging branch into
the right shape after the last merge from master (through staging-next);
otherwise part of staging changes would be lost
(due to being already reachable from master but reverted).
