Currently the ADD_ADDR option is retransmitted with a fixed timeout. This patch makes the retransmission timeout adaptive by using the maximum RTO among all the subflows, while still capping it at the configured maximum value (add_addr_timeout_max). This improves responsiveness when establishing new subflows. Specifically: 1. Adds mptcp_adjust_add_addr_timeout() helper to compute the adaptive timeout. 2. Uses maximum subflow RTO (icsk_rto) when available. 3. Applies exponential backoff based on retransmission count. 4. Maintains fallback to configured max timeout when no RTO data exists. This slightly changes the behaviour of the MPTCP "add_addr_timeout" sysctl knob to be used as a maximum instead of a fixed value. But this is seen as an improvement: the ADD_ADDR might be sent quicker than before to improve the overall MPTCP connection. Also, the default value is set to 2 min, which was already way too long, and caused the ADD_ADDR not to be retransmitted for connections shorter than 2 minutes.

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.
