We already detect situations where a PPP channel sends packets back to
its upper PPP device. While this is enough to avoid deadlocking on xmit
locks, this doesn't prevent packets from looping between the channel
and the unit.
The problem is that ppp_start_xmit() enqueues packets in ppp->file.xq
before checking for xmit recursion. Therefore, __ppp_xmit_process()
might dequeue a packet from ppp->file.xq and send it on the channel
which, in turn, loops it back on the unit. Then ppp_start_xmit()
queues the packet back to ppp->file.xq and __ppp_xmit_process() picks
it up and sends it again through the channel. Therefore, the packet
will loop between __ppp_xmit_process() and ppp_start_xmit() until some
other part of the xmit path drops it.
For L2TP, we rapidly fill the skb's headroom and pppol2tp_xmit() drops
the packet after a few iterations. But PPTP reallocates the headroom
if necessary, letting the loop run and exhaust the machine resources
(as reported in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199109).
Fix this by letting __ppp_xmit_process() enqueue the skb to
ppp->file.xq, so that we can check for recursion before adding it to
the queue. Now ppp_xmit_process() can drop the packet when recursion is
detected.
__ppp_channel_push() is a bit special. It calls __ppp_xmit_process()
without having any actual packet to send. This is used by
ppp_output_wakeup() to re-enable transmission on the parent unit (for
implementations like ppp_async.c, where the .start_xmit() function
might not consume the skb, leaving it in ppp->xmit_pending and
disabling transmission).
Therefore, __ppp_xmit_process() needs to handle the case where skb is
NULL, dequeuing as many packets as possible from ppp->file.xq.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
