[PATCH net-next 4/4] selftests: mptcp: cover IP_RECVERR sockopt propagation

From: Matthieu Baerts (NGI0)

Date: Fri Sep 18 2026 - 14:45:51 EST


From: David Carlier <devnexen@xxxxxxxxx>

Exercise setsockopt/getsockopt of IP_RECVERR and IPV6_RECVERR on the
MPTCP parent socket, including the empty-errqueue EAGAIN contract on
MSG_ERRQUEUE|MSG_DONTWAIT.

End-to-end errqueue delivery (ICMP, TX timestamps, zerocopy) depends on
subflow-side producers that are out of scope for this series and will be
covered by follow-up work.
