This new TCPConn method returns whether the connection is using MPTCP or if a fallback to TCP has been done, e.g. because the other peer doesn't support MPTCP. When working on the new E2E test linked to MPTCP (#56539), it looks like the user might need to know such info to be able to do some special actions (report, stop, etc.). This also improves the test to make sure MPTCP has been used as expected. Regarding the implementation, from kernel version 5.16, it is possible to use: getsockopt(..., SOL_MPTCP, MPTCP_INFO, ...) and check if EOPNOTSUPP (IPv4) or ENOPROTOOPT (IPv6) is returned. If it is, it means a fallback to TCP has been done. See this link for more details: https://github.com/multipath-tcp/mptcp_net-next/issues/294 Before v5.16, there is no other simple way, from the userspace, to check if the created socket did a fallback to TCP. Netlink requests could be done to try to find more details about a specific socket but that seems quite a heavy machinery. Instead, only the protocol is checked on older kernels. The E2E test has been modified to check that the MPTCP connection didn't do any fallback to TCP, explicitely validating the two methods (SO_PROTOCOL and MPTCP_INFO) if it is supported by the host. This work has been co-developed by Gregory Detal <gregory.detal@tessares.net> and Benjamin Hesmans <benjamin.hesmans@tessares.net>.
