I thought the idea was to ensure that new subflows of an existing
MPTCP connection would be created with the same label as the main
MPTCP connection socket?  The code above labels the new subflow based
on the current process, not the main MPTCP connection; it matches the
commit description, but not what we had previously discussed - or I am
horribly mis-remembering something? :)

I was expecting something more like the following:

static int selinux_mptcp_add_subflow(...)
{
  struct sk_security_struct *sksec = sk->sk_security;
  struct sk_security_struct *ssksec = ssk->sk_security;

  ssksec->sclass = sksec->sclass;
  ssksec->sid = sksec->sid;

  selinux_netlbl_sk_security_free(ssksec);
  selinux_netlbl_socket_post_create(ssk, ssk->sk_family);
}

This is pretty nitpicky, but it might be a little cleaner to use the
pattern below.  At the very least I think it tends to better match a
lot of the various free helpers in the kernel.

void free_stuff(void *ptr)
{
  if (!ptr)
    return;
  free_properly(ptr);
}

I would probably also reset sk_security_struct::nlbl_state too, so
maybe something like the following:

void selinux_netlbl_sk_security_free(...)
{
  if (!sksec)
    return;
  netlbl_secattr_free(sksec->nlbl_secattr);
  sksec->nlbl_secattr = NULL;
  sksec->nlbl_state = NLBL_UNSET;
}
