Subject: [PATCH net-next-2.6 v4 00/14] l2tp: Introduce L2TPv3 support
This patch series adds L2TPv3 support. It splits the existing pppol2tp
driver to separate its L2TP and PPP parts, then adds new L2TPv3
functionality. The patches implement a new socket family for L2TPv3 IP
encapsulation, expose virtual netdevices for each L2TPv3 ethernet
pseudowire and add a netlink interface.
The following drivers are provided:-
l2tp_core - L2TP driver core. Always required.
l2tp_ppp - L2TP PPP (PPPoL2TP). L2TPv2 and L2TPv3.
l2tp_eth - L2TPv3 ethernet pseudowire.
l2tp_ip - L2TPv3 IP encapsulation.
l2tp_netlink - L2TPv3 netlink API.
l2tp_debugfs - L2TP debugfs files.
The combination of l2tp_core and l2tp_ppp provides
backwards-compatible L2TPv2 pppol2tp functionality. Userspace L2TPv2
applications using the existing pppol2tp driver should not need to
change.
The implementation is as I described in a previous posting to netdev,
archived at
http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=120845482320143&w=4. Unfortunately,
splitting the existing pppol2tp driver into l2tp_core and l2tp_ppp
makes the changes difficult to review. The split is needed to separate
PPP from L2TP, since in L2TPv3, protocols other than PPP can be
carried. I have organised the patches so that the split is done first,
with new features added in separate patches.
Relevant RFCs are:-
- http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3931.txt (L2TPv3)
- http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4719.txt (L2TPv3 ethernet pseudowire)
A patchset is available to iproute2 which adds a number of commands
for unmanaged L2TPv3 tunnels. This will be submitted separately.
TODO:-
- Add L2TP tunnel switching.
- Add IP pseudowires. These carry only IP frames (no L2 header).
- Add VLAN pseudowires.
- Add ATM pseudowires - RFC3355 and RFC4454.

Changelog:-
v4 (02-apr-2010, this version)
- Remove useless BUG_ON in l2tp_eth driver. (Stephen Hemminger)
- Use random_ether_addr() when deriving MAC address for virtual device
of each ethernet pseudowire instead of deriving one based on the
L2TP session id. (Stephen Hemminger)
- Convert per_net locks from rwlock to spinlock / rcu. (Stephen Hemminger)
- Rework /proc interface to move all new (L2TPv3 etc) debug info to
debugfs. Retain existing /proc file for backwards compability with
the old pppol2tp driver. Debugfs is added in a new patch. (Stephen
Hemminger, David Miller)
- Add new config option to enable the debugfs file(s) for l2tp.
- Change all flag parameters in the netlink API to u8. (Patrick McHardy)
- Update info about /proc and /debugfs in l2tp documentation.
v3 (31-mar-2010)
- Use hash_32() instead of hash_long() for better efficiency on 64-bit
archs (Eric Dumazet)
- Add missing setting of sk->sk_no_check for the case when creating
kernel socket for the unmanaged tunnel case. (Eric Dumazet)
- Fix a dev_put leak for the case when user creates an ethernet
pseudowire with a specific device name and a device with that name
already exists. (Eric Dumazet)
- Use dev_forward_skb() in receive path of l2tp_eth driver.
v2 (29-mar-2010)
- Fix compile error when CONFIG_COMPAT is defined. Since l2tp_ip is
not a UDP socket, use compat_ip_[gs]etsockopt directly instead of
config_udp_[gs]etsockopt. (David Miller)
- Fix whitespace issues found by
git apply --check --whitespace=error-all (David Miller)
