in link_required():
devfd = the_channel->connect();
fd_ppp = the_channel->establish_ppp(devfd);       

if uses rp-pppoe plugin , I think devfd is the socket fd not the descriptor for "/dev/ppp0"
How to explain this?

In the PPPIOCATTCHAN, it is the fd opened from /dev/ppp, but in the
PPPIOCGCHAN just prior it is the fd of the tty.  The same variable is
re-used.

At that time, input.  In the previous ioctl, it is output.  This is
obvious because of the error messages in each return status check, and
because it is used uninitialised first.
You would need to read the kernel source to be certain.
Read the Documentation/networking/ppp_generic.txt file.  Focus on the
definition of channels.
Then read the ppp_generic.c source, concentrating on the PPPIOCGCHAN and
PPPIOCATTCHAN matches.
