I was just looking at ppp_generic, and noticed that it fairly recently
(as in the last year) got rather mangled with many spaces turned into tabs
in places they very much shouldn't have been. I tracked it down to commit
9c705260fe (ppp: ppp_mp_explode() redesign).
I am amazed if that patch passed the patch checking script. I have no
idea what kind of weird editor setting did this, but it has to have been a
weird editor setting or a very unfortunate search and replace gone wrong.
I only found it trying to apply a patch I was playing with and wondering
why it wouldn't apply. Then I found there were tabs in the middle of
comments that used to be spaces.
Well here is a patch that should fix it up as far as I can tell.
Purely whitespace repair. No actual code changes.

PPP does not correctly call pskb_may_pull() on all necessary receive paths
before reading the PPP protocol, thus causing PPP to report seemingly
random 'unsupported protocols' and eventually trigger BUG_ON(skb->len <
skb->data_len) in skb_pull_rcsum() when receiving multilink protocol in
non-linear skbs.
ppp_receive_nonmp_frame() does not call pskb_may_pull() before reading the
protocol number. For the non-mp receive path this is not a problem, as
this check is done in ppp_receive_frame(). For the mp receive path,
ppp_mp_reconstruct() usually copies the data into a new linear skb.
However, in the case where the frame is made up of a single mp fragment,
the mp header is pulled and the existing skb used. This skb was then
passed to ppp_receive_nonmp_frame() without checking if the encapsulated
protocol header could safely be read.

It's too stupid to see that we always set flen to something
before we use it in ppp_mp_explode():
drivers/net/ppp_generic.c: In function 'ppp_push':
drivers/net/ppp_generic.c:1314: warning: 'flen' may be used uninitialized in this function
drivers/net/ppp_generic.c:1314: note: 'flen' was declared here
This started warning after commit a53a8b5682
("ppp: fix lost fragments in ppp_mp_explode() (resubmit)")
So just put an explicit unconditional initialization there to
hush it up.

This patch fixes the corner cases where the sum of MTU of the free
channels (adjusted for fragmentation overheads) is less than the MTU
of PPP link. There are at least 3 situations where this case might
arise:
- some of the channels are busy
- the multilink session is running in a degraded state (i.e. with less
than its full complement of active channels)
- by design, where multilink protocol is being used to artificially
increase the effective link MTU of a single link.
Without this patch, at most 1 fragment is ever sent per free channel
for a given PPP frame and any remaining part of the PPP frame that
does not fit into those fragments is silently discarded.
This patch restores the original behaviour which was broken by commit
9c705260fe 'ppp:ppp_mp_explode()
redesign'. Once all 'free' channels have been given a fragment, an
additional fragment is queued to each available channel in turn, as many
times as necessary, until the entire PPP frame has been consumed.

I found the PPP subsystem to not work properly when connecting channels
with different speeds to the same bundle.
Problem Description:
As the "ppp_mp_explode" function fragments the sk_buff buffer evenly
among the PPP channels that are connected to a certain PPP unit to
make up a bundle, if we are transmitting using an upper layer protocol
that requires an Ack before sending the next packet (like TCP/IP for
example), we will have a bandwidth bottleneck on the slowest channel
of the bundle.
Let's clarify by an example. Let's consider a scenario where we have
two PPP links making up a bundle: a slow link (10KB/sec) and a fast
link (1000KB/sec) working at the best (full bandwidth). On the top we
have a TCP/IP stack sending a 1000 Bytes sk_buff buffer down to the
PPP subsystem. The "ppp_mp_explode" function will divide the buffer in
two fragments of 500B each (we are neglecting all the headers, crc,
flags etc?.). Before the TCP/IP stack sends out the next buffer, it
will have to wait for the ACK response from the remote peer, so it
will have to wait for both fragments to have been sent over the two
PPP links, received by the remote peer and reconstructed. The
resulting behaviour is that, rather than having a bundle working
@1010KB/sec (the sum of the channels bandwidths), we'll have a bundle
working @20KB/sec (the double of the slowest channels bandwidth).
Problem Solution:
The problem has been solved by redesigning the "ppp_mp_explode"
function in such a way to make it split the sk_buff buffer according
to the speeds of the underlying PPP channels (the speeds of the serial
interfaces respectively attached to the PPP channels). Referring to
the above example, the redesigned "ppp_mp_explode" function will now
divide the 1000 Bytes buffer into two fragments whose sizes are set
according to the speeds of the channels where they are going to be
sent on (e.g . 10 Byets on 10KB/sec channel and 990 Bytes on
1000KB/sec channel). The reworked function grants the same
performances of the original one in optimal working conditions (i.e. a
bundle made up of PPP links all working at the same speed), while
greatly improving performances on the bundles made up of channels
working at different speeds.

The original ppp_generic code treated the netdev and struct ppp as
independent data structures which were freed separately. In moving the
ppp struct into the netdev, it is now possible for the private data to
be freed before the call to ppp_shutdown_interface(), which is bad.
The kfree(ppp) in ppp_destroy_interface() is also wrong; presumably
ppp hasn't worked since the above commit.
The following patch fixes both problems.
