The MPTCP reset option allows to carry a mptcp-specific error code that provides more information on the nature of a connection reset. Reset option data received gets stored in the subflow context so it can be sent to userspace via the 'subflow closed' netlink event. When a subflow is closed, the desired error code that should be sent to the peer is also placed in the subflow context structure. If a reset is sent before subflow establishment could complete, e.g. on HMAC failure during an MP_JOIN operation, the mptcp skb extension is used to store the reset information.

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 Restructured Text 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.
