[ Upstream commit 40dddd4b8bd08a69471efd96107a4e1c73fabefc ]

syzbot reported an issue in ppp_async_encode() [1]

In this case, pppoe_sendmsg() is called with a zero size.
Then ppp_async_encode() is called with an empty skb.

syzbot triggered a warning [1] in __alloc_pages():

WARN_ON_ONCE_GFP(order &gt; MAX_PAGE_ORDER, gfp)

Willem fixed a similar issue in commit c0a2a1b0d631 ("ppp: limit MRU to 64K")

Adopt the same sanity check for ppp_async_ioctl(PPPIOCSMRU)

<title>tty: convert tty_ldisc_ops 'read()' function to take a kernel pointer</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 3b830a9c34d5897be07176ce4e6f2d75e2c8cfd7 ]

The tty line discipline .read() function was passed the final user
pointer destination as an argument, which doesn't match the 'write()'
function, and makes it very inconvenient to do a splice method for
ttys.

This is a conversion to use a kernel buffer instead.

NOTE! It does this by passing the tty line discipline -&gt;read() function
an additional "cookie" to fill in, and an offset into the cookie data.

The line discipline can fill in the cookie data with its own private
information, and then the reader will repeat the read until either the
cookie is cleared or it runs out of data.

The only real user of this is N_HDLC, which can use this to handle big
packets, even if the kernel buffer is smaller than the whole packet.

This warning occurs because there is a space before the tab on this
line. Clean up this entire block's indentation so that it is consistent
with the Linux kernel coding style and clang no longer warns.

<title>ppp: Move PFC decompression to PPP generic layer</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7fb1b8ca8fa1ee34ffc328f17f78da68c7cc04e6</id>
<content type='text'>
Extract "Protocol" field decompression code from transport protocols to
PPP generic layer, where it actually belongs. As a consequence, this
patch fixes incorrect place of PFC decompression in L2TP driver (when
it's not PPPOX_BOUND) and also enables this decompression for other
protocols, like PPPoE.

Protocol field decompression also happens in PPP Multilink Protocol
code and in PPP compression protocols implementations (bsd, deflate,
mppe). It looks like there is no easy way to get rid of that, so it was
decided to leave it as is, but provide those cases with appropriate
comments instead.

Changes in v2:
  - Fix the order of checking skb data room and proto decompression
  - Remove "inline" keyword from ppp_decompress_proto()
  - Don't split line before function name
  - Prefix ppp_decompress_proto() function with "__"
  - Add ppp_decompress_proto() function with skb data room checks
  - Add description for introduced functions
  - Fix comments (as per review on mailing list)

<title>drivers, net, ppp: convert asyncppp.refcnt from atomic_t to refcount_t</title>

<id>urn:sha1:313a912155c78ed87ad6fca175dc56b75fd00a58</id>
<content type='text'>
atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference
counters with the following properties:
 - counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set()
 - a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero
 - once counter reaches zero, its further
   increments aren't allowed
 - counter schema uses basic atomic operations
   (set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.)

Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided
refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows
and underflows. This is important since overflows and underflows
can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable.

The variable asyncppp.refcnt is used as pure reference counter.
Convert it to refcount_t and fix up the operations.

It seems like a historic accident that these return unsigned char *,
and in many places that means casts are required, more often than not.

Make these functions return void * and remove all the casts across
the tree, adding a (u8 *) cast only where the unsigned char pointer
was used directly, all done with the following spatch:

    @@
    expression SKB, LEN;
    typedef u8;
    identifier fn = { skb_push, __skb_push, skb_push_rcsum };
    @@
    - *(fn(SKB, LEN))
    + *(u8 *)fn(SKB, LEN)

    @@
    expression E, SKB, LEN;
    identifier fn = { skb_push, __skb_push, skb_push_rcsum };
    type T;
    @@
    - E = ((T *)(fn(SKB, LEN)))
    + E = fn(SKB, LEN)

    @@
    expression SKB, LEN;
    identifier fn = { skb_push, __skb_push, skb_push_rcsum };
    @@
    - fn(SKB, LEN)[0]
    + *(u8 *)fn(SKB, LEN)

Note that the last part there converts from push(...)[0] to the
more idiomatic *(u8 *)push(...).
