Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/2] ppp: Remove PPPOX_ZOMBIE socket state

Several issues have been found lately wrt. the PPPOX_ZOMBIE socket
state. This state is now only set upon reception of a PADT to stop
further transmissions. However this is redundant with the PADT
workqueue mechanism introduced by 287f3a943fef ("pppoe: Use workqueue
to die properly when a PADT is received").

We can thus simplify pppox socket state handling by getting rid of
PPPOX_ZOMBIE entirely.

Guillaume Nault (2):
  ppp: don't set sk_state to PPPOX_ZOMBIE in pppoe_disc_rcv()
  ppp: remove PPPOX_ZOMBIE socket state
