l2tp: remove configurable offset parameters
This patch series removes all code to support a configurable offset in
transmitted l2tp packets. Code to handle this is incomplete and buggy
and has been this way for years. If anyone tried to configure an
offset, it would be ignored for L2TPv2 tunnels, or for L2TPv3 tunnels,
could result in L2TPv3 packets being transmitted which are not
compliant with L2TPv3 RFC3931. This patch series removes the support
for configurable offsets.
No known userspace l2tp daemon configures an offset. However,
iproute2's "ip l2tp" command has an offset parameter and if set, the
value is passed to the kernel. This is the most likely use case where
offsets might be configured, e.g.
ip l2tp add tunnel local 1.1.1.1 remote 1.1.1.2 tunnel_id 1 \
peer_tunnel_id 2 encap ip
ip l2tp add session name l2tp0 tunnel_id 1 session_id 1 \
peer_session_id 2 offset 8
The above would result in packets being transmitted to 1.1.1.2 with 8
bytes padding between the L2TPv3 header and the payload. The peer
would need to be configured with the same offset value. However, the
packets are not compliant with the L2TPv3 RFC, hence I think it's
unlikely that offset is being used. With this patch series applied,
the offset would not be configured. The peer would need to be modified to
remove its offset setting too.
iproute2 should be modified to remove or ignore the ip l2tp offset
parameter.
This issue was discovered when reviewing a patch series from
lorenzo.bianconi@redhat.com which adds another netlink attribute to
configure the expected offset in received L2TPv3 packets. This change
is reverted by this series because offsets do not exist in L2TPv3
packets. These commits are:

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
