The rds_connect_worker() has a bug in the check that enforces the canonical connection order described in the comments of rds_tcp_state_change(). The intention is to make sure that all the multipath connections are always initiated by the smaller IP address via rds_start_mprds. To achieve this, rds_connection_worker should check that cp_index > 0.
