Neil Horman e9412c3708 genetlink: Build a generic netlink family module alias
Generic netlink searches for -type- formatted aliases when requesting a module to
fulfill a protocol request (i.e. net-pf-16-proto-16-type-<x>, where x is a type
value).  However generic netlink protocols have no well defined type numbers,
they have string names.  Modify genl_ctrl_getfamily to request an alias in the
format net-pf-16-proto-16-family-<x> instead, where x is a generic string, and
add a macro that builds on the previously added MODULE_ALIAS_NET_PF_PROTO_NAME
macro to allow modules to specifify those generic strings.

Note, l2tp previously hacked together an net-pf-16-proto-16-type-l2tp alias
using the MODULE_ALIAS macro, with these updates we can convert that to use the
PROTO_NAME macro.

Joe Perches a4ca44fa57 net: l2tp: Standardize logging styles
Use more current logging styles.

Add pr_fmt to prefix output appropriately.
Convert printks to pr_<level>.
Convert PRINTK macros to new l2tp_<level> macros.
Neaten some <foo>_refcount debugging macros.
Use print_hex_dump_bytes instead of hand-coded loops.
Coalesce formats and align arguments.

Some KERN_DEBUG output is not now emitted unless
dynamic_debugging is enabled.

Chris Elston f9bac8df90 l2tp: netlink api for l2tpv3 ipv6 unmanaged tunnels
This patch adds support for unmanaged L2TPv3 tunnels over IPv6 using
the netlink API. We already support unmanaged L2TPv3 tunnels over
IPv4. A patch to iproute2 to make use of this feature will be
submitted separately.

James Chapman 5de7aee541 l2tp: fix locking of 64-bit counters for smp
L2TP uses 64-bit counters but since these are not updated atomically,
we need to make them safe for smp. This patch addresses that.

David S. Miller 60aed2abb3 l2tp: Stop using NLA_PUT*().
These macros contain a hidden goto, and are thus extremely error
prone and make code hard to audit.

David S. Miller 8cb4901447 l2tp: Fix set-but-unused variables.
The variable 'ret' is set but unused in l2tp_nl_register_ops().

This was obviously meant to maintain error codes which are
returned to the caller, make it so.

James Chapman 789a4a2c61 l2tp: Add support for static unmanaged L2TPv3 tunnels
This patch adds support for static (unmanaged) L2TPv3 tunnels, where
the tunnel socket is created by the kernel rather than being created
by userspace. This means L2TP tunnels and sessions can be created
manually, without needing an L2TP control protocol implemented in
userspace. This might be useful where the user wants a simple ethernet
over IP tunnel.

A patch to iproute2 adds a new command set under "ip l2tp" to make use
of this feature. This will be submitted separately.

James Chapman 309795f4be l2tp: Add netlink control API for L2TP
In L2TPv3, we need to create/delete/modify/query L2TP tunnel and
session contexts. The number of parameters is significant. So let's
use netlink. Userspace uses this API to control L2TP tunnel/session
contexts in the kernel.

The previous pppol2tp driver was managed using [gs]etsockopt(). This
API is retained for backwards compatibility. Unlike L2TPv2 which
carries only PPP frames, L2TPv3 can carry raw ethernet frames or other
frame types and these do not always have an associated socket
family. Therefore, we need a way to use L2TP sessions that doesn't
require a socket type for each supported frame type. Hence netlink is
used.
