RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 2 Gris Ge 2022-08-23 03:27:12 UTC

Patch posted to upstream: https://github.com/nmstate/nmstate/pull/2014

Support configure interface level MPTCP flags:

```yml
---
interfaces:
  - name: eth1
    type: ethernet
    state: up
    mptcp:
      address-flags:
      - subflow
      - backup
      - fullmesh
```

When querying, also include MPTCP flags per IP address:

```yml
address:
  - ip: 192.0.2.2
    prefix-length: 24
    mptcp-flags:
      - signal
      - subflow
```

For interface level MPTCP flags, will apply flags to all valid IP
addresses(both static and dynamic). Plugin might has their own rule on
excusing special scope of IP address, e.g. IPv6 multicast address.

Limitations:
 * Per IP address MPTCP flags is ignored with an warning message when
   different from interface level MPTCP flags.
 * Cannot set `signal` along with `fullmesh` due to kernel restriction.
 * If sysctl has `net.mptcp.enabled` set to 0, NetworkManager cannot
   apply MPTCP flags. User will get an failure suggest them to use
   third-party tools.
