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'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.

l2tp_core internally uses l2tp_tunnel_closeall to close all sessions in a
tunnel when a UDP-encapsulation socket is destroyed. We need to do something
similar for IP-encapsulation sockets.

L2TP sessions hold a reference to the tunnel socket to prevent it going away
while sessions are still active. However, since tunnel destruction is handled
by the sock sk_destruct callback there is a catch-22: a tunnel with sessions
cannot be deleted since each session holds a reference to the tunnel socket.
If userspace closes a managed tunnel socket, or dies, the tunnel will persist
and it will be neccessary to individually delete the sessions using netlink
commands. This is ugly.
To prevent this occuring, this patch leverages the udp encapsulation socket
destroy callback to gain early notification when the tunnel socket is closed.
This allows us to safely close the sessions running in the tunnel, dropping
the tunnel socket references in the process. The tunnel socket is then
destroyed as normal, and the tunnel resources deallocated in sk_destruct.
While we're at it, ensure that l2tp_tunnel_closeall correctly drops session
references to allow the sessions to be deleted rather than leaking.

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived
list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)
The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:
hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)
Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.
Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:
- Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
- Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
- A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
- Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.
The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

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().

If enabled, L2TP data packets have sequence numbers which a receiver
can use to drop out of sequence frames or try to reorder them. The
first frame has sequence number 0, but the L2TP code currently expects
it to be 1. This results in the first data frame being handled as out
of sequence.
This one-line patch fixes the problem.

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.

Reader/write locks are discouraged because they are slower than spin
locks. So this patch converts the rwlocks used in the per_net structs
to rcu.

In L2TPv3, we need to create/delete/modify/query L2TP tunnel and
session contexts. The number of parameters is significant. So let's
use netlink. Userspace uses this API to control L2TP tunnel/session
contexts in the kernel.
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
frame types and these do not always have an associated socket
family. Therefore, we need a way to use L2TP sessions that doesn't
require a socket type for each supported frame type. Hence netlink is
used.

This patch adds a new L2TPIP socket family and modifies the core to
handle the case where there is no UDP header in the L2TP
packet. L2TP/IP uses IP protocol 115. Since L2TP/UDP and L2TP/IP
packets differ in layout, the datapath packet handling code needs
changes too. Userspace uses an L2TPIP socket instead of a UDP socket
when IP encapsulation is required.
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.
