Hi Shigeru -

I believe this has already been fixed by:

7d803344fdc3 ("mptcp: fix deadlock in fastopen error path")

It is in the net repo:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net.git

...but hasn't been merged to net-next or Linus' tree yet. Jakub said to 
expect a net PR today, which should get the fix both upstream and in to 
net-next.

Thanks,

Mat
