The -&gt;ref() and -&gt;deref() callbacks are unused since PPP stopped using
them in ee40fb2e1eb5 ("l2tp: protect sock pointer of struct pppol2tp_session with RCU").

We can thus remove them from struct l2tp_session and drop the do_ref
parameter of l2tp_session_get*().

refcount_t type and corresponding API should be

a reference counter. This allows to avoid accidental
refcounter overflows that might lead to use-after-free

refcount_t type and corresponding API should be
used instead of atomic_t when the variable is used as
a reference counter. This allows to avoid accidental
refcounter overflows that might lead to use-after-free
situations.

This patch uses refcount_inc_not_zero() instead of
atomic_inc_not_zero_hint() due to absense of a _hint()
version of refcount API. If the hint() version must
be used, we might need to revisit API.

Take a reference on the sessions returned by l2tp_session_find_nth()
(and rename it l2tp_session_get_nth() to reflect this change), so that
caller is assured that the session isn't going to disappear while
processing it.

For procfs and debugfs handlers, the session is held in the .start()
callback and dropped in .show(). Given that pppol2tp_seq_session_show()
dereferences the associated PPPoL2TP socket and that
l2tp_dfs_seq_session_show() might call pppol2tp_show(), we also need to
call the session's .ref() callback to prevent the socket from going
away from under us.

Fixes: 0ad6614048cf ("l2tp: Add debugfs files for dumping l2tp debug info")

TCP listener refactoring, part 4 :

To speed up inet lookups, we moved IPv4 addresses from inet to struct
sock_common

Now is time to do the same for IPv6, because it permits us to have fast
lookups for all kind of sockets, including upcoming SYN_RECV.

Getting IPv6 addresses in TCP lookups currently requires two extra cache
lines, plus a dereference (and memory stall).

inet6_sk(sk) does the dereference of inet_sk(__sk)-&gt;pinet6

This patch is way bigger than its IPv4 counter part, because for IPv4,
we could add aliases (inet_daddr, inet_rcv_saddr), while on IPv6,
it's not doable easily.

inet6_sk(sk)-&gt;daddr becomes sk-&gt;sk_v6_daddr
inet6_sk(sk)-&gt;rcv_saddr becomes sk-&gt;sk_v6_rcv_saddr

And timewait socket also have tw-&gt;tw_v6_daddr &amp; tw-&gt;tw_v6_rcv_saddr
at the same offset.

We get rid of INET6_TW_MATCH() as INET6_MATCH() is now the generic
macro.

<title>l2tp: avoid deadlock in l2tp stats update</title>

l2tp's u64_stats writers were incorrectly synchronised, making it possible to
deadlock a 64bit machine running a 32bit kernel simply by sending the l2tp
code netlink commands while passing data through l2tp sessions.

Previous discussion on netdev determined that alternative solutions such as
spinlock writer synchronisation or per-cpu data would bring unjustified
overhead, given that most users interested in high volume traffic will likely
be running 64bit kernels on 64bit hardware.

As such, this patch replaces l2tp's use of u64_stats with atomic_long_t,
thereby avoiding the deadlock.
