When the ethernet interface of a pppoe pseudo-interface detaches, remove
the association and mark the pppoe interface down.
This should fix PR kern/28375.
This may work with one PPPoE session.
If you want to use it, #define PPPOE_SERVER in somewhere,
or add options PPPOE_SERVER in kernel config file.
This is experimental code, and good start point for future development.
packet - there is nothing to abort.
In pppoe_abort_connect rearange state handling slightly to avoid calls
to the PPP LCP state machine get into an infinite recursion.
This should fix the symptoms of PR kern/19500, but does not touch the
real cause for the lossage described there.
remove a test that has been obsoleted by the authentication failure
counter - enter slow retry mode always, not only if we already transfered
data successfully (the test was designed to disable retries when the
initial authentication setting was not correct, the auth failure counter
does this job better).
we don't know anything about with a PADT packet.
Use with care, this is pretty dangerous and will kill all userland PPPoE
implementations. Therefore it is not enabled by default nor added as
a commented out option to GENERIC kernels.
But it is highly usefull if you have a fixed IP, an ISP that does not use
LCP echo requests for link monitoring and you want to recover quickly after
a crash or otherwise ungracefull disconnect.
containing the userland visible thinks (i.e. ioctl definitions).
Remove all (both) old ioctls, as they had a brain dead API and made keeping
binary compatibility more or less impossible.
Replace by several new ioctls. While there, remove any arbitrary limits
(resulting from the old, broken ioctls) and allow any length of names
and passwords.
values).
Implement a secondary connection-reestablishement mode, which is only
entered after (1) we have successfully transfered payload data over this
connection and (2) if initial retries did not reestablish a session.
In this mode we retry (infrequently) forever, until adminstrator stops
us (by "ifconfig ppppoe0 down"). XXX - need to display this mode in
pppoectl.
It is now possible to pull the DSL modems plug for say 15 minutes, plug
it back in again and just wait. The connection will be reestablished within
three minutes.
