Paolo Abeni ec6a328b2e This bugfix batch includes the following changes:
* dropped bogus call to setup_udp_tunnel_sock() during
   cleanup, substituted by proper state unwind

Antonio Quartulli says:

====================
In this batch you can find the following bug fixes:

Patch 1: when releasing a UDP socket we were wrongly invoking
setup_udp_tunnel_sock() with an empty config. This was not
properly shutting down the UDP encap state.
With this patch we simply undo what was done during setup.

Patch 2: ovpn was holding a reference to a 'struct socket'
without increasing its reference counter. This was intended
and worked as expected until we hit a race condition where
user space tries to close the socket while kernel space is
also releasing it. In this case the (struct socket *)->sk
member would disappear under our feet leading to a null-ptr-deref.
This patch fixes this issue by having struct ovpn_socket hold
a reference directly to the sk member while also increasing
its reference counter.

Patch 3: in case of errors along the TCP RX path (softirq)
we want to immediately delete the peer, but this operation may
sleep. With this patch we move the peer deletion to a scheduled
worker.

Patch 4 and 5 are instead fixing minor issues in the ovpn
kselftests.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
