Good catch. Thanks!

I added comments in the code about why I think pppol2tp_fget is needed.
This driver handles PPP-over-L2TP sockets. These are attached to a plain
UDP (L2TP) socket. When a pppol2tp socket is created, it is provided
with the fd of the UDP (L2TP) tunnel socket. The tunnel socket is
created by l2tpd, which passes the fd to pppd when it forks pppd for
each session in the tunnel. Since it is pppd that does the connect on
the pppol2tp socket (this driver) it needs to get the UDP socket via the
passed fd/pid. Is there another way to do this?

It would break L2TP/IPSec. There isn't a way to stack encapsulations.

Not sure what you mean. ppp_generic is doing that.

Ok.

Personal preference. I don't think it's a lot of code, but I don't have
a problem removing it.

Are they needed now that I changed the seq file handling such that a new
buffer should be provided per tunnel and per session. I looked for
examples of seq_printf and almost all don't use the return value.
