I noticed that l2tp.sh net selftest is failing in recent kernels with
the following error:
RTNETLINK answers: Protocol not supported
See also: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2013014
Apprently the module lt2p_ipv6 is not automatically loaded when the test
is trying to create an l2tp ipv6 tunnel.
I did a bisect and found that the offending commit is this one:
65b32f801bfb ("uapi: move IPPROTO_L2TP to in.h")
I've temporarily reverted this commit for now, any suggestion on how to
fix this properly?
Thanks,
-Andrea
Hi,
Modifying UAPI was not a good idea although the patch should not break userspace (related discussion [1]).
We could revert this patch with one additional change (include l2tp.h in net/sched/cls_flower.c) but then again,
modifying UAPI. This patch was mostly cosmetic anyway.
Second option is to try to fix the automatic load. I'm not an expert but I think
MODULE_ALIAS_NET_PF_PROTO macro is somehow responsible for that. I noticed some comments saying that
"__stringify doesn't like enums" (this macro is using _stringify) and my patch defined IPPROTO_L2TP in enum.
We can just replace IPPROTO_L2TP with 115 (where this macro is used) in order to fix this.
I'm going to give it a try and will let you know.
Regards,
Wojtek

Yes, the modules aliases now have symbolic names:
$ modinfo l2tp_ip l2tp_ip6 | grep alias
alias: net-pf-2-proto-IPPROTO_L2TP
alias: net-pf-2-proto-2-type-IPPROTO_L2TP
alias: net-pf-10-proto-IPPROTO_L2TP
alias: net-pf-10-proto-2-type-IPPROTO_L2TP
Therefore, 'request_module("net-pf-%d-proto-%d-type-%d")' can't find
them.
My personal preference is for the second option: fix module loading by
using plain numbers in MODULE_ALIAS_*. We can always keep the symbolic
names in comments.

Btw, am I blind or the alias with type was wrong the whole time?
pf goes first, then proto and type at the end according to the definition of MODULE_ALIAS_NET_PF_PROTO_TYPE
and here type (2) is 2nd and proto (115) is 3rd

You're not blind :). The MODULE_ALIAS_NET_PF_PROTO_TYPE(...) is indeed
wrong. Auto-loading the l2tp_ip and l2tp_ip6 modules only worked
because of the extra MODULE_ALIAS_NET_PF_PROTO() declaration (as
inet_create() and inet6_create() fallback to "net-pf-%d-proto-%d" if
"net-pf-%d-proto-%d-type-%d" fails).

At this point I think using 115 directly is probably the best solution,
that is also what we do already with SOCK_DGRAM, but I would just update
the comment up above, instead of adding the inline comments.
Something like this maybe:

From: Andrea Righi <[email protected]>
Subject: [PATCH] l2tp: generate correct module alias strings
Commit 65b32f801bfb ("uapi: move IPPROTO_L2TP to in.h") moved the
definition of IPPROTO_L2TP from a define to an enum, but since
__stringify doesn't work properly with enums, we ended up breaking the
modalias strings for the l2tp modules:
$ modinfo l2tp_ip l2tp_ip6 | grep alias
alias: net-pf-2-proto-IPPROTO_L2TP
alias: net-pf-2-proto-2-type-IPPROTO_L2TP
alias: net-pf-10-proto-IPPROTO_L2TP
alias: net-pf-10-proto-2-type-IPPROTO_L2TP
Use the resolved number directly in MODULE_ALIAS_*() macros (as we
already do with SOCK_DGRAM) to fix the alias strings:
$ modinfo l2tp_ip l2tp_ip6 | grep alias
alias: net-pf-2-proto-115
alias: net-pf-2-proto-115-type-2
alias: net-pf-10-proto-115
alias: net-pf-10-proto-115-type-2
Moreover, fix the ordering of the parameters passed to
MODULE_ALIAS_NET_PF_PROTO_TYPE() by switching proto and type.
Fixes: 65b32f801bfb ("uapi: move IPPROTO_L2TP to in.h")

Agree,
I verified the fix on my machine,
