This new ioctl pair allows two ppp channels to be bridged together:
frames arriving in one channel are transmitted in the other channel
and vice versa.

The practical use for this is primarily to support the L2TP Access
Concentrator use-case.  The end-user session is presented as a ppp
channel (typically PPPoE, although it could be e.g. PPPoA, or even PPP
over a serial link) and is switched into a PPPoL2TP session for
transmission to the LNS.  At the LNS the PPP session is terminated in
the ISP's network.

When a PPP channel is bridged to another it takes a reference on the
other's struct ppp_file.  This reference is dropped when the channels
are unbridged, which can occur either explicitly on userspace calling
the PPPIOCUNBRIDGECHAN ioctl, or implicitly when either channel in the
bridge is unregistered.

In order to implement the channel bridge, struct channel is extended
with a new field, 'bridge', which points to the other struct channel
making up the bridge.

This pointer is RCU protected to avoid adding another lock to the data
path.

To guard against concurrent writes to the pointer, the existing struct
channel lock 'upl' coverage is extended rather than adding a new lock.

The 'upl' lock is used to protect the existing unit pointer.  Since the
bridge effectively replaces the unit (they're mutually exclusive for a
channel) it makes coding easier to use the same lock to cover them
both.

Since ->bridge is RCU protected, it should be dereferenced with
rcu_dereference_protected() here:
rcu_dereference_protected(pch->bridge, lockdep_is_held(&pch->upl)).

Same here (with adaptation of the lockdep part of course).

It'd make more sense to use rcu_dereference_protected() here too.

I'm not sure I'd consider this case as an error.
If there's no bridged channel, there's just nothing to do.
Furthermore, there might be situations where this is not really an
error (see the possible race below).

I think that we could have a situation where pchb->bridge could be
different from pch.
If ppp_unbridge_channels() was also called concurrently on pchb, then
pchb->bridge might have been already reset. And it might have dropped
the reference it had on pch. In this case, we'd erroneously decrement
the refcnt again.

In theory, pchb->bridge might even have been reassigned to a different
channel. So we'd reset pchb->bridge, but without decrementing the
refcnt of the channel it pointed to (and again, we'd erroneously
decrement pch's refcount instead).

So I think we need to save pchb->bridge to a local variable while we
hold pchb->upl, and then drop the refcount of that channel, instead of
assuming that it's equal to pch.

Ack, thanks.

Ditto for the other callsites which should also be using 
rcu_dereference_protected for access to the rcu-protected pointer.

To be honest I'd probably tend agree with you, but I was seeking to
maintain consistency with how PPPIOCCONNECT/PPPIOCDISCONN behave.  The
latter returns EINVAL if the channel isn't connected to an interface.

If you feel strongly I'm happy to change it but IMO it's better to be
consistent with existing ioctl calls.

Ack, yes.

The v1 series protected against this, although by nesting locks :-|

I think in the case that pchb->bridge != pch, we probably want to
leave pchb alone, so:

 1. Don't unset the pchb->bridge pointer
 2. Don't drop the pch reference (pchb doesn't hold a reference on pch
    because pchb->bridge != pch)

This is on the assumption that pchb has been reassigned -- in that
scenario we don't want to mess with pchb at all since it'll break the
other bridge instance.

Indeed, that makes sense. I didn't think about that. I was mostly
thinking about the case where ->bridge was concurently reset by another
ppp_unbridge_channels(), which doesn't look like an error to me. But
we can let userspace responsible for properly using the API (or
ignoring EINVAL when they don't).

I don't feel strongly about it :).

Well, I think the v1 could deadlock in this situation. The RFC was
immune to this problem, as it didn't modify ->bridge on pchb.

Yes you're right.
