PPP handles packet loss but does not work with out of order packets.
This change performs reordering of incoming data packets within a
sliding window of one second. Since sequence number is optional,
receiving a packet without it will drop all queued packets.
Currently the logic is triggered by incoming packets, so queued
packets have to wait till another packet is arrived. It is done for
simplicity since no additional locks or threads are required. For
reliable protocols, a retransmission will kick it. For unreliable
protocols, queued packets just seem like packet loss. Time-critical
protocols might be broken, but they never work with queueing anyway.

net: Fix a potential deadlock while releasing PPPoLAC/PPPoPNS socket.
PPP driver guarantees that no thread will be executing start_xmit() after
returning from ppp_unregister_channel(). To achieve this, a spinlock (downl)
is used. In pppolac_release(), ppp_unregister_channel() is called after sk_udp
is locked. At the same time, another thread might be running in pppolac_xmit()
with downl. Thus a deadlock will occur if the thread tries to lock sk_udp.
The same situation might happen on sk_raw in pppopns_release().

net: Force PPPoLAC and PPPoPNS to bind an interface before creating PPP channel.
It is common to manipulate the routing table after configuring PPP device.
Since both PPPoLAC and PPPoPNS run over IP, care must be taken to make sure
that there is no loop in the routing table.
Although this can be done by adding a host route, it might still cause
problems when the interface is down for some reason.
To solve this, this patch forces both drivers to bind an interface before
creating PPP channel, so the system will not re-route the tunneling sockets
to another interface when the original one is down. Another benefit is that
now the host route is no longer required, so there is no need to remove it
when PPP channel is closed.

net: Avoid sleep-inside-spinlock in PPPoLAC and PPPoPNS.
Since recv() and xmit() are called with a spinlock held, routines which might
sleep cannot be used. This issue is solved by following changes:
Incoming packets are now processed in backlog handler, recv_core(), instead of
recv(). Since backlog handler is always executed with socket spinlock held, the
requirement of ppp_input() is still satisfied.
Outgoing packets are now processed in workqueue handler, xmit_core(), instead of
xmit(). Note that kernel_sendmsg() is no longer used to prevent touching dead
sockets.
In release(), lock_sock() and pppox_unbind_sock() ensure that no thread is in
recv_core() or xmit(). Then socket handlers are restored before release_sock(),
so no packets will leak in backlog queue.

net: Fix msg_iovlen in PPPoLAC and PPPoPNS.
Although any positive value should work (which is always true in both drivers),

PPP: introduce "pptp" module which implements point-to-point tunneling protocol using pppox framework
NET: introduce the "gre" module for demultiplexing GRE packets on version criteria
(required to pptp and ip_gre may coexists)
NET: ip_gre: update to use the "gre" module
This patch introduces then pptp support to the linux kernel which
dramatically speeds up pptp vpn connections and decreases cpu usage in
comparison of existing user-space implementation
(poptop/pptpclient). There is accel-pptp project
(https://sourceforge.net/projects/accel-pptp/) to utilize this module,
it contains plugin for pppd to use pptp in client-mode and modified
pptpd (poptop) to build high-performance pptp NAS.
There was many changes from initial submitted patch, most important are:
1. using rcu instead of read-write locks
2. using static bitmap instead of dynamically allocated
3. using vmalloc for memory allocation instead of BITS_PER_LONG + __get_free_pages
4. fixed many coding style issues

This patch makes changes to the L2TP PPP code for L2TPv3.
The existing code has some assumptions about the L2TP header which are
broken by L2TPv3. Also the sockaddr_pppol2tp structure of the original
code is too small to support the increased size of the L2TPv3 tunnel
and session id, so a new sockaddr_pppol2tpv3 structure is needed. In
the socket calls, the size of this structure is used to tell if the
operation is for L2TPv2 or L2TPv3.

None of these files use any of the functionality promised by
asm/semaphore.h. It's possible that they (or some user of them) rely
on it dragging in some unrelated header file, but I can't build all
these files, so we'll have to fix any build failures as they come up.

This patch passes in the namespace a new socket should be created in
and has the socket code do the appropriate reference counting. By
virtue of this all socket create methods are touched. In addition
the socket create methods are modified so that they will fail if
you attempt to create a socket in a non-default network namespace.
Failing if we attempt to create a socket outside of the default
network namespace ensures that as we incrementally make the network stack
network namespace aware we will not export functionality that someone
has not audited and made certain is network namespace safe.
Allowing us to partially enable network namespaces before all of the
exotic protocols are supported.
Any protocol layers I have missed will fail to compile because I now
pass an extra parameter into the socket creation code.

Add struct sockaddr_pppol2tp to carry L2TP-specific address
information for the PPPoX (PPPoL2TP) socket. Unfortunately we can't
use the union inside struct sockaddr_pppox because the L2TP-specific
data is larger than the current size of the union and we must preserve
the size of struct sockaddr_pppox for binary compatibility.
Also add a PPPIOCGL2TPSTATS ioctl to allow userspace to obtain
L2TP counters and state from the kernel.
Add new if_pppol2tp.h header.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
