From 309795f4bec2d69cd507a631f82065c2198a0825 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: James Chapman Date: Fri, 2 Apr 2010 06:19:10 +0000 Subject: 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.
