[PATCH net-next 0/7] pull request: ovpn 2026-10-07

[Antonio Quartulli <antonio@openvpn.net>]

Hi all!

Here is v3 of the ovpn batch for net-next, rebased on current net-next.

It is mostly cleanup. The one functional change is that PEER_DEL_NTF now
carries the same peer object returned by PEER_GET: a disconnecting
peer's final counters were not reachable before, because
ovpn_peer_remove() unlinks the peer before emitting the notification.
The selftests get TCP_NODELAY on ovpn-cli's TCP sockets and proper
synchronization against the server-side key setup. Ralf is added to
MAINTAINERS as ovpn reviewer.

Changes since v2:
* 5/7: the wait on the server-side key setup was unbounded, and the
  subshell only reported the status of the last new_key. Bound the wait
  and report a failure from any peer.
* 6/7: the notification filter used to drop every message carrying a
  remote-ipv6, which also dropped the IPv6 float events. Those are not
  deterministic and are not in the fixtures, so letting them through
  made the notification check fail at random. Drop them again, this time
  only for peer-float-ntf.

Both were reported by sashiko on v2. The second one was making roughly
15% of the selftest runs fail, so it is worth having before this lands.
With it, 33 consecutive script runs are clean.

Please pull or let me know of any issue!

Thanks a lot,
	Antonio
