Sessions created by l2tp_session_create() aren't fully initialised:
some pseudo-wire specific operations need to be done before making the
session usable. Therefore the PPP and Ethernet pseudo-wires continue
working on the returned l2tp session while it's already been exposed to
the rest of the system.
This can lead to various issues. In particular, the session may enter
the deletion process before having been fully initialised, which will
confuse the session removal code.
This patch moves session registration out of l2tp_session_create(), so
that callers can control when the session is exposed to the rest of the
system. This is done by the new l2tp_session_register() function.
Only pppol2tp_session_create() can be easily converted to avoid
modifying its session after registration (the debug message is dropped
in order to avoid the need for holding a reference on the session).
For pppol2tp_connect() and l2tp_eth_create()), more work is needed.
That'll be done in followup patches. For now, let's just register the
session right after its creation, like it was done before. The only
difference is that we can easily take a reference on the session before
registering it, so, at least, we're sure it's not going to be freed
while we're working on it.

If we try to delete the same tunnel twice, the first delete operation
does a lookup (l2tp_tunnel_get), finds the tunnel, calls
l2tp_tunnel_delete, which queues it for deletion by
l2tp_tunnel_del_work.
The second delete operation also finds the tunnel and calls
l2tp_tunnel_delete. If the workqueue has already fired and started
running l2tp_tunnel_del_work, then l2tp_tunnel_delete will queue the
same tunnel a second time, and try to free the socket again.
Add a dead flag to prevent firing the workqueue twice. Then we can
remove the check of queue_work's result that was meant to prevent that
race but doesn't.

There are several ways to remove L2TP sessions:
* deleting a session explicitly using the netlink interface (with
L2TP_CMD_SESSION_DELETE),
* deleting the session's parent tunnel (either by closing the
tunnel's file descriptor or using the netlink interface),
* closing the PPPOL2TP file descriptor of a PPP pseudo-wire.
In some cases, when these methods are used concurrently on the same
session, the session can be removed twice, leading to use-after-free
bugs.
This patch adds a 'dead' flag, used by l2tp_session_delete() and
l2tp_tunnel_closeall() to prevent them from stepping on each other's
toes.
The session deletion path used when closing a PPPOL2TP file descriptor
doesn't need to be adapted. It already has to ensure that a session
remains valid for the lifetime of its PPPOL2TP file descriptor.
So it takes an extra reference on the session in the ->session_close()
callback (pppol2tp_session_close()), which is eventually dropped
in the ->sk_destruct() callback of the PPPOL2TP socket
(pppol2tp_session_destruct()).
Still, __l2tp_session_unhash() and l2tp_session_queue_purge() can be
called twice and even concurrently for a given session, but thanks to
proper locking and re-initialisation of list fields, this is not an
issue.

Using l2tp_tunnel_find() in pppol2tp_session_create() and
l2tp_eth_create() is racy, because no reference is held on the
returned session. These functions are only used to implement the
->session_create callback which is run by l2tp_nl_cmd_session_create().
Therefore searching for the parent tunnel isn't necessary because
l2tp_nl_cmd_session_create() already has a pointer to it and holds a
reference.
This patch modifies ->session_create()'s prototype to directly pass the
the parent tunnel as parameter, thus avoiding searching for it in
pppol2tp_session_create() and l2tp_eth_create().
Since we have to touch the ->session_create() call in
l2tp_nl_cmd_session_create(), let's also remove the useless conditional:
we know that ->session_create isn't NULL at this point because it's
already been checked earlier in this same function.
Finally, one might be tempted to think that the removed
l2tp_tunnel_find() calls were harmless because they would return the
same tunnel as the one held by l2tp_nl_cmd_session_create() anyway.
But that tunnel might be removed and a new one created with same tunnel
Id before the l2tp_tunnel_find() call. In this case l2tp_tunnel_find()
would return the new tunnel which wouldn't be protected by the
reference held by l2tp_nl_cmd_session_create().

l2tp_tunnel_destruct() sets tunnel->sock to NULL, then removes the
tunnel from the pernet list and finally closes all its sessions.
Therefore, it's possible to add a session to a tunnel that is still
reachable, but for which tunnel->sock has already been reset. This can
make l2tp_session_create() dereference a NULL pointer when calling
sock_hold(tunnel->sock).
This patch adds the .acpt_newsess field to struct l2tp_tunnel, which is
used by l2tp_tunnel_closeall() to prevent addition of new sessions to
tunnels. Resetting tunnel->sock is done after l2tp_tunnel_closeall()
returned, so that l2tp_session_add_to_tunnel() can safely take a
reference on it when .acpt_newsess is true.
The .acpt_newsess field is modified in l2tp_tunnel_closeall(), rather
than in l2tp_tunnel_destruct(), so that it benefits all tunnel removal
mechanisms. E.g. on UDP tunnels, a session could be added to a tunnel
after l2tp_udp_encap_destroy() proceeded. This would prevent the tunnel
from being removed because of the references held by this new session
on the tunnel and its socket. Even though the session could be removed
manually later on, this defeats the purpose of
commit 9980d001ce ("l2tp: add udp encap socket destroy handler").

l2tp_tunnel_find() doesn't take a reference on the returned tunnel.
Therefore, it's unsafe to use it because the returned tunnel can go
away on us anytime.
Fix this by defining l2tp_tunnel_get(), which works like
l2tp_tunnel_find(), but takes a reference on the returned tunnel.
Caller then has to drop this reference using l2tp_tunnel_dec_refcount().
As l2tp_tunnel_dec_refcount() needs to be moved to l2tp_core.h, let's
simplify the patch and not move the L2TP_REFCNT_DEBUG part. This code
has been broken (not even compiling) in May 2012 by

doesn't appear to be used by anyone.
Same thing for l2tp_tunnel_free(); instead of moving it to l2tp_core.h,
let's just simplify things and call kfree_rcu() directly in
l2tp_tunnel_dec_refcount(). Extra assertions and debugging code
provided by l2tp_tunnel_free() didn't help catching any of the
reference counting and socket handling issues found while working on
this series.

Callers of l2tp_nl_session_find() need to hold a reference on the
returned session since there's no guarantee that it isn't going to
disappear from under them.
Relying on the fact that no l2tp netlink message may be processed
concurrently isn't enough: sessions can be deleted by other means
(e.g. by closing the PPPOL2TP socket of a ppp pseudowire).
l2tp_nl_cmd_session_delete() is a bit special: it runs a callback
function that may require a previous call to session->ref(). In
particular, for ppp pseudowires, the callback is l2tp_session_delete(),
which then calls pppol2tp_session_close() and dereferences the PPPOL2TP
socket. The socket might already be gone at the moment
l2tp_session_delete() calls session->ref(), so we need to take a
reference during the session lookup. So we need to pass the do_ref
variable down to l2tp_session_get() and l2tp_session_get_by_ifname().
Since all callers have to be updated, l2tp_session_find_by_ifname() and
l2tp_nl_session_find() are renamed to reflect their new behaviour.

If L2TP data sequence numbers are enabled and reordering is not
enabled, data reception stops if a packet is lost since the kernel
waits for a sequence number that is never resent. (When reordering is
enabled, data reception restarts when the reorder timeout expires.) If
no reorder timeout is set, we should count the number of in-sequence
packets after the out-of-sequence (OOS) condition is detected, and reset
sequence number state after a number of such packets are received.
For now, the number of in-sequence packets while in OOS state which
cause the sequence number state to be reset is hard-coded to 5. This

acceptable, where the "greater than or equal to" test is determined by
the NR wrap point. This differs for L2TPv2 and L2TPv3, so add state in
the session context to hold the max NR value and the NR window size in
order to do the acceptable sequence number value check. These might be
configurable later, but for now we derive it from the tunnel L2TP
version, which determines the sequence number field size.

If a tunnel socket is created by userspace, l2tp hooks the socket destructor
in order to clean up resources if userspace closes the socket or crashes. It
also caches a pointer to the struct sock for use in the data path and in the
netlink interface.
While it is safe to use the cached sock pointer in the data path, where the
skb references keep the socket alive, it is not safe to use it elsewhere as
such access introduces a race with userspace closing the socket. In
particular, l2tp_tunnel_delete is prone to oopsing if a multithreaded
userspace application closes a socket at the same time as sending a netlink
delete command for the tunnel.
This patch fixes this oops by forcing l2tp_tunnel_delete to explicitly look up
a tunnel socket held by userspace using sockfd_lookup().

When L2TP data packet reordering is enabled, packets are held in a
queue while waiting for out-of-sequence packets. If a packet gets
lost, packets will be held until the reorder timeout expires, when we
are supposed to then advance to the sequence number of the next packet
but we don't currently do so. As a result, the data channel is stuck
because we are waiting for a packet that will never arrive - all
packets age out and none are passed.
The fix is to add a flag to the session context, which is set when the
reorder timeout expires and tells the receive code to reset the next
expected sequence number to that of the next packet in the queue.

The previous pppol2tp driver was managed using [gs]etsockopt(). This
API is retained for backwards compatibility. Unlike L2TPv2 which
carries only PPP frames, L2TPv3 can carry raw ethernet frames or other

We can't use raw sockets for this because the semantics of raw sockets
don't lend themselves to the socket-per-tunnel model - we need to

The L2TPv3 protocol changes the layout of the L2TP packet
header. Tunnel and session ids change from 16-bit to 32-bit values,
data sequence numbers change from 16-bit to 24-bit values and PPP-specific
fields are moved into protocol-specific subheaders.
Although this patch introduces L2TPv3 protocol support, there are no
userspace interfaces to create L2TPv3 sessions yet.

This patch splits the pppol2tp driver into separate L2TP and PPP parts
to prepare for L2TPv3 support. In L2TPv3, protocols other than PPP can
be carried, so this split creates a common L2TP core that will handle
the common L2TP bits which protocol support modules such as PPP will
use.
Note that the existing pppol2tp module is split into l2tp_core and
l2tp_ppp by this change.
There are no feature changes here. Internally, however, there are
significant changes, mostly to handle the separation of PPP-specific
data from the L2TP session and to provide hooks in the core for
modules like PPP to access.
