Hi,

I'm having issues running user-space code, which uses net/l2tp/l2tp_ppp.c.
The code is supposed to be running in LAC mode (which is I believe is default).
My server configuration described here: https://wiki.linaro.org/LMG/Kernel/PPP

I was trying to use next code snippets as user-space part:
  1. Code example from comments in net/l2tp/l2tp_ppp.c
  2. Code examples from Documentation/networking/l2tp.txt
  3. Code from this project: http://www.kvack.org/~bcrl/pppol2tp/multihop.c

Basically, I was trying two options for user-space code:
  1. Creating only one sockaddr_pppol2tp, like this:

    <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< cut here >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    session_fd = socket(AF_PPPOX, SOCK_DGRAM, PX_PROTO_OL2TP);
    session_sa.sa_family = AF_PPPOX;
    session_sa.sa_protocol = PX_PROTO_OL2TP;
    session_sa.pppol2tp.fd = udp_fd;
    session_sa.pppol2tp.s_tunnel = local_tunnel;
    session_sa.pppol2tp.s_session = local_session;
    session_sa.pppol2tp.d_tunnel = remote_tunnel;
    session_sa.pppol2tp.d_session = remote_session;
    connect(session_fd, (struct sockaddr *)&session_sa,
            sizeof(session_sa));
    <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< cut here >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    In that case user-space tool was failing on connect() call.

  2. Creating two sockaddr_pppol2tp, like this:

    <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< cut here >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    tunnel_fd = socket(AF_PPPOX, SOCK_DGRAM, PX_PROTO_OL2TP);
    tunnel_sa.sa_family = AF_PPPOX;
    tunnel_sa.sa_protocol = PX_PROTO_OL2TP;
    tunnel_sa.pppol2tp.fd = the_socket; /* UDP socket */
    tunnel_sa.pppol2tp.s_tunnel = local_tunnel;
    tunnel_sa.pppol2tp.s_session = 0; /* special case: mgmt socket */
    tunnel_sa.pppol2tp.d_tunnel = remote_tunnel;
    tunnel_sa.pppol2tp.d_session = 0; /* special case: mgmt socket */
    connect(tunnel_fd, (struct sockaddr *)&tunnel_sa,
            sizeof(tunnel_sa));

    session_fd = socket(AF_PPPOX, SOCK_DGRAM, PX_PROTO_OL2TP);
    session_sa.sa_family = AF_PPPOX;
    session_sa.sa_protocol = PX_PROTO_OL2TP;
    session_sa.pppol2tp.fd = udp_fd;
    session_sa.pppol2tp.s_tunnel = local_tunnel;
    session_sa.pppol2tp.s_session = local_session;
    session_sa.pppol2tp.d_tunnel = remote_tunnel;
    session_sa.pppol2tp.d_session = remote_session;
    connect(session_fd, (struct sockaddr *)&session_sa,
            sizeof(session_sa));
    <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< cut here >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    In this case my user-space tool works fine, but my server shows
next errors in /var/log/syslog:

    <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< cut here >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Jul  3 16:32:49 joe-laptop xl2tpd[2978]: Can not find tunnel 25061
(refhim=0)
    Jul  3 16:32:49 joe-laptop xl2tpd[2978]: network_thread: unable to
find call or tunnel to handle packet.  call = 48566, tunnel = 25061
Dumping.
    <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< cut here >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

UDP socket was created next way (for both cases):
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/mtpd/+/0269612ac00a0700997dda333faf0a3c33a388b8/mtpd.c#253

(see the_socket variable in create_socket() function).

So my questions are:
1. Am I doing something wrong in userspace part? Because my server
part is working fine with Android kernel implementation of LAC
(drivers/net/ppp/pppolac.c). When I'm trying to do the same with
mainline kernel implementation of LAC -- I'm having issues described
above.
2. Do we have some testing code for L2TP (particularly LAC)? Or maybe
just some working user-space code sample?

Thanks!

The second approach looks good to me.  Note that the session only
stays up as long as session_fd is open.

How is the tunnel/session being created on the server side?  How are
you deriving the session and tunnel IDs?  The fact that xl2tp is
complaining about being unable to find tunnel IDs suggests that data
is arriving there but that something isn't correctly configured at
that end.
