If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Qingfang Deng [ Upstream commit 92c1bf630abf0af646562398eaa36f80b5ff677d ] PPPIOCGCHAN both returns the channel index and marks a PPPOX socket as bound to generic PPP, despite its getter semantic. Packets received before that transition are queued on sk_receive_queue, but a bound socket is no longer readable. Such packets therefore remain queued until the socket is destroyed. After marking a socket bound, wait for receive paths that observed the old state to finish queueing packets, and then drain the queue into generic PPP.
