l2tp: auto load type modules

2015-09-25T19:27:22+00:00

It should not be necessary to do explicit module loading when
configuring L2TP. Modules should be loaded as needed instead
(as is done already with netlink and other tunnel types).

This patch adds a new module alias type and code to load
the sub module on demand.

l2tp: Add support for zero IPv6 checksums

2014-05-23T20:28:53+00:00

Added new L2TP configuration options to allow TX and RX of
zero checksums in IPv6. Default is not to use them.

l2tp: fix manual sequencing (de)activation in L2TPv2

2014-03-06T19:25:39+00:00

Commit e0d4435f "l2tp: Update PPP-over-L2TP driver to work over L2TPv3"
broke the PPPOL2TP_SO_SENDSEQ setsockopt. The L2TP header length was
previously computed by pppol2tp_l2t_header_len() before each call to
l2tp_xmit_skb(). Now that header length is retrieved from the hdr_len
session field, this field must be updated every time the L2TP header
format is modified, or l2tp_xmit_skb() won't push the right amount of
data for the L2TP header.

This patch uses l2tp_session_set_header_len() to adjust hdr_len every
time sequencing is (de)activated from userspace (either by the
PPPOL2TP_SO_SENDSEQ setsockopt or the L2TP_ATTR_SEND_SEQ netlink
attribute).

net: misc: Remove extern from function prototypes

2013-10-19T23:12:11+00:00

There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern
in the kernel sources.  Standardize on not using extern for
function prototypes.

Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern.
extern is assumed by the compiler.  Its use is as unnecessary as
using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.

l2tp: fix kernel panic when using IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses

2013-10-02T21:09:22+00:00

IPv4 mapped addresses cause kernel panic.
The patch juste check whether the IPv6 address is an IPv4 mapped
address. If so, use IPv4 API instead of IPv6.

l2tp: make datapath resilient to packet loss when sequence numbers enabled

2013-07-02T23:33:25+00:00

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
could be configurable later.

l2tp: make datapath sequence number support RFC-compliant

2013-07-02T23:33:24+00:00

The L2TP datapath is not currently RFC-compliant when sequence numbers
are used in L2TP data packets. According to the L2TP RFC, any received
sequence number NR greater than or equal to the next expected NR is
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.

l2tp: unhash l2tp sessions on delete, not on free

2013-03-20T16:10:39+00:00

If we postpone unhashing of l2tp sessions until the structure is freed, we
risk:

 1. further packets arriving and getting queued while the pseudowire is being
    closed down
 2. the recv path hitting "scheduling while atomic" errors in the case that
    recv drops the last reference to a session and calls l2tp_session_free
    while in atomic context

As such, l2tp sessions should be unhashed from l2tp_core data structures early
in the teardown process prior to calling pseudowire close.  For pseudowires
like l2tp_ppp which have multiple shutdown codepaths, provide an unhash hook.

l2tp: avoid deadlock in l2tp stats update

2013-03-20T16:10:39+00:00

l2tp's u64_stats writers were incorrectly synchronised, making it possible to
deadlock a 64bit machine running a 32bit kernel simply by sending the l2tp
code netlink commands while passing data through l2tp sessions.

Previous discussion on netdev determined that alternative solutions such as
spinlock writer synchronisation or per-cpu data would bring unjustified
overhead, given that most users interested in high volume traffic will likely
be running 64bit kernels on 64bit hardware.

As such, this patch replaces l2tp's use of u64_stats with atomic_long_t,
thereby avoiding the deadlock.
