RFC 2516 Section 7 states that Protocol Field Compression (PFC) is NOT
RECOMMENDED for PPPoE. In practice, pppd does not support negotiating
PFC for PPPoE sessions, and the current PPPoE driver assumes an
uncompressed (2-byte) protocol field. However, the generic PPP layer
function ppp_input() is not aware of the negotiation result, and still
accepts PFC frames.
If a peer with a broken implementation or an attacker sends a frame with
a compressed (1-byte) protocol field, the subsequent PPP payload is
shifted by one byte. This causes the network header to be 4-byte
misaligned, which may trigger unaligned access exceptions on some
architectures.
To reduce the attack surface, drop PPPoE PFC frames. Introduce
ppp_skb_is_compressed_proto() helper function to be used in both
ppp_generic.c and pppoe.c to avoid open-coding.

/dev/ppp open is currently authorized against file->f_cred->user_ns,
while unattached administrative ioctls operate on current->nsproxy->net_ns.
As a result, a local unprivileged user can create a new user namespace
with CLONE_NEWUSER, gain CAP_NET_ADMIN only in that new user namespace,
and still issue PPPIOCNEWUNIT, PPPIOCATTACH, or PPPIOCATTCHAN against
an inherited network namespace.
Require CAP_NET_ADMIN in the user namespace that owns the target network

This preserves normal pppd operation in the network namespace it is

Currently, ppp->xmit_pending is used in ppp_send_frame() to pass a skb
to ppp_push(), and holds the skb when a PPP channel cannot immediately
transmit it. This state is redundant because the transmit queue
(ppp->file.xq) can already handle the backlog. Furthermore, during
normal operation, an skb is queued in file.xq only to be immediately
dequeued, causing unnecessary overhead.
Refactor the transmit path to avoid stashing the skb when possible:
- Remove ppp->xmit_pending.
- Rename ppp_send_frame() to ppp_prepare_tx_skb(), and don't call
ppp_push() in it. It returns 1 if the skb is consumed
(dropped/handled) or 0 if it can be passed to ppp_push().
- Update ppp_push() to accept the skb. It returns 1 if the skb is
consumed, or 0 if the channel is busy.
- Optimize __ppp_xmit_process():
- Fastpath: If the queue is empty, attempt to send the skb directly
via ppp_push(). If busy, queue it.
- Slowpath: If the queue is not empty, process the backlog in
file.xq. Split dequeuing loop into a separate function
ppp_xmit_flush() so ppp_channel_push() uses that directly instead of
passing a NULL skb to __ppp_xmit_process().
This simplifies the states and reduces locking in the fastpath.

If alloc_skb() fails in pad_compress_skb(), it returns NULL without
releasing the old skb. The caller does:
skb = pad_compress_skb(ppp, skb);
if (!skb)
goto drop;
drop:
kfree_skb(skb);
When pad_compress_skb() returns NULL, the reference to the old skb is
lost and kfree_skb(skb) ends up doing nothing, leading to a memory leak.
Align pad_compress_skb() semantics with realloc(): only free the old
skb if allocation and compression succeed. At the call site, use the
new_skb variable so the original skb is not lost when pad_compress_skb()
fails.

Now that PPPoE sockets are freed via RCU (SOCK_RCU_FREE), it is no longer
necessary to take a reference count when looking up sockets on the receive

Convert fast-path lookups to avoid refcounting:
- Replace get_item() and sk_receive_skb() in pppoe_rcv() with
__get_item() and __sk_receive_skb().
- Rework get_item_by_addr() into __get_item_by_addr() (no refcount and

Like ppp_generic.c, convert the PPPoE socket hash table to use RCU for
lookups and a spinlock for updates. This removes rwlock usage and allows
lockless readers on the fast path.
- Mark hash table and list pointers as __rcu.
- Use spin_lock() to protect writers.
- Readers use rcu_dereference() under rcu_read_lock(). All known callers
of get_item() already hold the RCU read lock, so no additional locking
is needed.
- get_item() now uses refcount_inc_not_zero() instead of sock_hold() to
safely take a reference. This prevents crashes if a socket is already
in the process of being freed (sk_refcnt == 0).
- Set SOCK_RCU_FREE to defer socket freeing until after an RCU grace
period.
- Move skb_queue_purge() into sk_destruct callback to ensure purge

ppp_fill_forward_path() has two race conditions:
1. The ppp->channels list can change between list_empty() and

is deleted in ppp_disconnect_channel(), list_first_entry() may
access an empty head or a freed entry, and trigger a panic.
2. pch->chan can be NULL. When ppp_unregister_channel() is called,
pch->chan is set to NULL before pch is removed from ppp->channels.
Fix these by using a lockless RCU approach:
- Use list_first_or_null_rcu() to safely test and access the first list
entry.
- Convert list modifications on ppp->channels to their RCU variants and
add synchronize_net() after removal.
- Check for a NULL pch->chan before dereferencing it.

The per-CPU variable ppp::xmit_recursion is protecting against recursion
due to wrong configuration of the ppp unit. The per-CPU variable
relies on disabled BH for its locking. Without per-CPU locking in
local_bh_disable() on PREEMPT_RT this data structure requires explicit
locking.
The ppp::xmit_recursion is used as a per-CPU boolean. The counter is
checked early in the send routing and the transmit path is only entered
if the counter is zero. Then the counter is incremented to avoid
recursion. It used to detect recursion on channel::downl and
ppp::wlock.
Create a struct ppp_xmit_recursion and move the counter into it.
Add local_lock_t to the struct and use local_lock_nested_bh() for
locking. Due to possible nesting, the lock cannot be acquired
unconditionally but it requires an owner field to identify recursion
before attempting to acquire the lock.
The counter is incremented and checked only after the lock is acquired.
Since it functions as a boolean rather than a count, and its role is now
superseded by the owner field, it can be safely removed.

Syzbot caught an "KMSAN: uninit-value" warning [1], which is caused by the
ppp driver not initializing a 2-byte header when using socket filter.
The following code can generate a PPP filter BPF program:
'''
struct bpf_program fp;
pcap_t *handle;
handle = pcap_open_dead(DLT_PPP_PPPD, 65535);
pcap_compile(handle, &fp, "ip and outbound", 0, 0);
bpf_dump(&fp, 1);
'''
Its output is:
'''
(000) ldh [2]
(001) jeq #0x21 jt 2 jf 5
(002) ldb [0]
(003) jeq #0x1 jt 4 jf 5
(004) ret #65535
(005) ret #0
'''
Wen can find similar code at the following link:
https://github.com/ppp-project/ppp/blob/master/pppd/options.c#L1680
The maintainer of this code repository is also the original maintainer
of the ppp driver.
As you can see the BPF program skips 2 bytes of data and then reads the
'Protocol' field to determine if it's an IP packet. Then it read the first
byte of the first 2 bytes to determine the direction.
The issue is that only the first byte indicating direction is initialized
in current ppp driver code while the second byte is not initialized.
For normal BPF programs generated by libpcap, uninitialized data won't be
used, so it's not a problem. However, for carefully crafted BPF programs,
such as those generated by syzkaller [2], which start reading from offset
0, the uninitialized data will be used and caught by KMSAN.

Add two helper functions - rtnl_newlink_link_net() and
rtnl_newlink_peer_net() for netns fallback logic. Peer netns falls back
to link netns, and link netns falls back to source netns.
Convert the use of params->net in netdevice drivers to one of the helper
functions for clarity.

There are 4 net namespaces involved when creating links:
- source netns - where the netlink socket resides,
- target netns - where to put the device being created,
- link netns - netns associated with the device (backend),
- peer netns - netns of peer device.
Currently, two nets are passed to newlink() callback - "src_net"
parameter and "dev_net" (implicitly in net_device). They are set as
follows, depending on netlink attributes in the request.
+------------+-------------------+---------+---------+
| peer netns | IFLA_LINK_NETNSID | src_net | dev_net |
+------------+-------------------+---------+---------+
| | absent | source | target |
| absent +-------------------+---------+---------+
| | present | link | link |
+------------+-------------------+---------+---------+
| | absent | peer | target |
| present +-------------------+---------+---------+
| | present | peer | link |
+------------+-------------------+---------+---------+
When IFLA_LINK_NETNSID is present, the device is created in link netns
first and then moved to target netns. This has some side effects,
including extra ifindex allocation, ifname validation and link events.
These could be avoided if we create it in target netns from
the beginning.
On the other hand, the meaning of src_net parameter is ambiguous. It
varies depending on how parameters are passed. It is the effective
link (or peer netns) by design, but some drivers ignore it and use
dev_net instead.
To provide more netns context for drivers, this patch packs existing
newlink() parameters, along with the source netns, link netns and peer
netns, into a struct. The old "src_net" is renamed to "net" to avoid
confusion with real source netns, and will be deprecated later. The use
of src_net are converted to params->net trivially.

Since 'ppp_async_encode()' assumes valid LCP packets (with code
from 1 to 7 inclusive), add 'ppp_check_packet()' to ensure that
LCP packet has an actual body beyond PPP_LCP header bytes, and
reject claimed-as-LCP but actually malformed data otherwise.
