<title>net/l2tp: convert tunnel rwlock_t to rcu</title>

Previously commit e02d494d2c60 ("l2tp: Convert rwlock to RCU") converted
most, but not all, rwlock instances in the l2tp subsystem to RCU.

The remaining rwlock protects the per-tunnel hashlist of sessions which
is used for session lookups in the UDP-encap data path.

Convert the remaining rwlock to rcu to improve performance of UDP-encap
tunnels.

Note that the tunnel and session, which both live on RCU-protected
lists, use slightly different approaches to incrementing their refcounts
in the various getter functions.

The tunnel has to use refcount_inc_not_zero because the tunnel shutdown
process involves dropping the refcount to zero prior to synchronizing
RCU readers (via. kfree_rcu).

By contrast, the session shutdown removes the session from the list(s)
it is on, synchronizes with readers, and then decrements the session
refcount.  Since the getter functions increment the session refcount
with the RCU read lock held we prevent getters seeing a zero session
refcount, and therefore don't need to use refcount_inc_not_zero.

<title>net/l2tp: Fix reference count leak in l2tp_udp_recv_core</title>

<content type='text'>
The reference count leak issue may take place in an error handling
path. If both conditions of tunnel-&gt;version == L2TP_HDR_VER_3 and the
return value of l2tp_v3_ensure_opt_in_linear is nonzero, the function
would directly jump to label invalid, without decrementing the reference
count of the l2tp_session object session increased earlier by
l2tp_tunnel_get_session(). This may result in refcount leaks.

Fix this issue by decrease the reference count before jumping to the
label invalid.

l2tp_tunnel_register() registers a tunnel without fully
initializing its attribute. This can allow another kernel thread
running l2tp_xmit_core() to access the uninitialized data and
then cause a kernel NULL pointer dereference error, as shown below.

Thread 1    Thread 2
//l2tp_tunnel_register()
list_add_rcu(&amp;tunnel-&gt;list, &amp;pn-&gt;l2tp_tunnel_list);
           //pppol2tp_connect()
           tunnel = l2tp_tunnel_get(sock_net(sk), info.tunnel_id);
           // Fetch the new tunnel
           ...
           //l2tp_xmit_core()
           struct sock *sk = tunnel-&gt;sock;
           ...
           bh_lock_sock(sk);
           //Null pointer error happens
tunnel-&gt;sock = sk;

Fix this bug by initializing tunnel-&gt;sock before adding the
tunnel into l2tp_tunnel_list.

<title>net: l2tp: reduce log level of messages in receive path, add counter instead</title>

<content type='text'>
Commit 5ee759cda51b ("l2tp: use standard API for warning log messages")
changed a number of warnings about invalid packets in the receive path
so that they are always shown, instead of only when a special L2TP debug
flag is set. Even with rate limiting these warnings can easily cause
significant log spam - potentially triggered by a malicious party
sending invalid packets on purpose.

In addition these warnings were noticed by projects like Tunneldigger [1],
which uses L2TP for its data path, but implements its own control
protocol (which is sufficiently different from L2TP data packets that it
would always be passed up to userspace even with future extensions of
L2TP).

Some of the warnings were already redundant, as l2tp_stats has a counter
for these packets. This commit adds one additional counter for invalid
packets that are passed up to userspace. Packets with unknown session are
not counted as invalid, as there is nothing wrong with the format of
these packets.

With the additional counter, all of these messages are either redundant
or benign, so we reduce them to pr_debug_ratelimited().

As pointed out by Herbert in a recent related patch, the LSM hooks do
not have the necessary address family information to use the flowi
struct safely.  As none of the LSMs currently use any of the protocol
specific flowi information, replace the flowi pointers with pointers
to the address family independent flowi_common struct.
