Subject: [RFC net-next v2 2/2] pppoe: queue unbound packets directly
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2026 11:05:06 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261028030509.23294-2-qingfang.deng@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261028030509.23294-1-qingfang.deng@linux.dev>

Queue unbound packets directly with sock_queue_rcv_skb() and remove
the unused backlog callback.

Previously, __sk_receive_skb() serialized receive processing with
PPPIOCGCHAN through the socket lock. Receivers either finished before
the ioctl acquired ownership or ran from the backlog after PPPOX_BOUND
was set.

The new lockless path relies on synchronize_net() from commit
92c1bf630abf ("pppox: drain queued packets on channel handoff").
After setting PPPOX_BOUND, PPPIOCGCHAN waits for receivers that saw
the old state to finish queueing before draining sk_receive_queue
into PPP. This prevents packets from being stranded after handoff.
SOCK_RCU_FREE protects the socket lifetime during teardown.
