mptcp: ensure tx skbs always have the MPTCP ext
CVE: CVE-2021-47370
Component: kernel
CWE: CWE-402
Severity: Low
CVSS v3: 5.6/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Release date: 2021-01-01T00:00:00+00:00

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mptcp: ensure tx skbs always have the MPTCP ext

Due to signed/unsigned comparison, the expression:

	info->size_goal - skb->len > 0

evaluates to true when the size goal is smaller than the
skb size. That results in lack of tx cache refill, so that
the skb allocated by the core TCP code lacks the required
MPTCP skb extensions.

Due to the above, syzbot is able to trigger the following WARN_ON():

Fix the issue rewriting the relevant expression to avoid
sign-related problems - note: size_goal is always >= 0.

Additionally, ensure that the skb in the tx cache always carries
the relevant extension.
