The 'mptcp_subflow_context' structure has two items related to the
backup flags:
- 'backup': the subflow has been marked as backup by the other peer
- 'request_bkup': the backup flag has been set by the host
Looking only at the 'backup' flag can make sense in some cases, but it
is not the behaviour of the default packet scheduler when selecting
paths.
As explained in the commit b6a66e521a20 ("mptcp: sched: check both
directions for backup"), the packet scheduler should look at both flags,
because that was the behaviour from the beginning: the 'backup' flag was
set by accident instead of the 'request_bkup' one. Now that the latter
has been fixed, get_retrans() needs to be adapted as well.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
