[ Upstream commit 4c247de564f1ff614d11b3bb5313fb70d7b9598b ]

When ppp is closing, __ppp_xmit_process() failed to enqueue skb
and skb allocated in ppp_write() is leaked.

<title>compat_ioctl: pppoe: fix PPPOEIOCSFWD handling</title>

<id>055d88242a6046a1ceac3167290f054c72571cd9</id>
<content type='text'>
Support for handling the PPPOEIOCSFWD ioctl in compat mode was added in
linux-2.5.69 along with hundreds of other commands, but was always broken
sincen only the structure is compatible, but the command number is not,
due to the size being sizeof(size_t), or at first sizeof(sizeof((struct
sockaddr_pppox)), which is different on 64-bit architectures.

Guillaume Nault adds:

  And the implementation was broken until 2016 (see 29e73269aa4d ("pppoe:
  fix reference counting in PPPoE proxy")), and nobody ever noticed. I
  should probably have removed this ioctl entirely instead of fixing it.
  Clearly, it has never been used.

Fix it by adding a compat_ioctl handler for all pppoe variants that
translates the command number and then calls the regular ioctl function.

All other ioctl commands handled by pppoe are compatible between 32-bit
and 64-bit, and require compat_ptr() conversion.

This should apply to all stable kernels.

Commit 0e5a610b5ca5 ("ppp: mppe: switch to RC4 library interface"),
which was merged through the crypto tree for v5.3, changed ppp_mppe.c to
use the new arc4_crypt() library function rather than access RC4 through
the dynamic crypto_skcipher API.

Meanwhile commit aad1dcc4f011 ("ppp: mppe: Add softdep to arc4") was
merged through the net tree and added a module soft-dependency on "arc4".

The latter commit no longer makes sense because the code now uses the
"libarc4" module rather than "arc4", and also due to the direct use of
arc4_crypt(), no module soft-dependency is required.

So revert the latter commit.

The arc4 crypto is mandatory at ppp_mppe probe time, so let's put a
softdep line, so that the corresponding module gets prepared
gracefully.  Without this, a simple inclusion to initrd via dracut
failed due to the missing dependency, for example.

The MPPE code uses the sync skcipher to invoke the ecb(arc4) skcipher,
of which only a single generic C code implementation exists. This means
that going through all the trouble of using scatterlists etc buys us
very little, and we're better off just invoking the arc4 library directly.

Note that the SHA1 shash used by this driver has several accelerated
implementations for various architectures, so retaining that part does
make sense.

Pull SPDX update from Greg KH:
 "Here is a series of patches that add SPDX tags to different kernel
  files, based on two different things:

   - SPDX entries are added to a bunch of files that we missed a year
     ago that do not have any license information at all.

     These were either missed because the tool saw the MODULE_LICENSE()
     tag, or some EXPORT_SYMBOL tags, and got confused and thought the
     file had a real license, or the files have been added since the
     last big sweep, or they were Makefile/Kconfig files, which we
     didn't touch last time.

   - Add GPL-2.0-only or GPL-2.0-or-later tags to files where our scan
     tools can determine the license text in the file itself. Where this
     happens, the license text is removed, in order to cut down on the
     700+ different ways we have in the kernel today, in a quest to get
     rid of all of these.

  These patches have been out for review on the linux-spdx@vger mailing
  list, and while they were created by automatic tools, they were
  hand-verified by a bunch of different people, all whom names are on
  the patches are reviewers.

  The reason for these "large" patches is if we were to continue to
  progress at the current rate of change in the kernel, adding license
  tags to individual files in different subsystems, we would be finished
  in about 10 years at the earliest.

  There will be more series of these types of patches coming over the
  next few weeks as the tools and reviewers crunch through the more
  "odd" variants of how to say "GPLv2" that developers have come up with
  over the years, combined with other fun oddities (GPL + a BSD
  disclaimer?) that are being unearthed, with the goal for the whole
  kernel to be cleaned up.

  These diffstats are not small, 3840 files are touched, over 10k lines
  removed in just 24 patches"
