From 089687fbcc6524809ae9f4b2f8145fe3c2a91147 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] pppd: Retry registering interface when on rtnetlink -EBUSY
error
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Due to workaround in kernel module ppp_generic.ko in function
ppp_nl_newlink(), kernel may return -EBUSY error to prevent possible
mutex deadlock. In this case userspace needs to retry its request.
Proper way would be to fix kernel module to order requests and mutex
locking, so prevent deadlock in kernel and so never return this error to
userspace. Until it happens we need retry code in userspace.
