Subject: [PATCH net 04/10] mptcp: push at DSS boundaries

From: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@...hat.com>

when inserting not contiguous data in the subflow write queue,
the protocol creates a new skb and prevent the TCP stack from
merging it later with already queued skbs by setting the EOR marker.

Still no push flag is explicitly set at the end of previous GSO
packet, making the aggregation on the receiver side sub-optimal -
and packetdrill self-tests less predictable.

Explicitly mark the end of not contiguous DSS with the push flag.
