commit 3e59e8856758eb5a2dfe1f831ef53b168fd58105 upstream.
Commit 5ee759cda51b ("l2tp: use standard API for warning log messages") changed a number of warnings about invalid packets in the receive path so that they are always shown, instead of only when a special L2TP debug flag is set. Even with rate limiting these warnings can easily cause significant log spam - potentially triggered by a malicious party sending invalid packets on purpose.
In addition these warnings were noticed by projects like Tunneldigger [1], which uses L2TP for its data path, but implements its own control protocol (which is sufficiently different from L2TP data packets that it would always be passed up to userspace even with future extensions of L2TP).
Some of the warnings were already redundant, as l2tp_stats has a counter for these packets. This commit adds one additional counter for invalid packets that are passed up to userspace. Packets with unknown session are not counted as invalid, as there is nothing wrong with the format of these packets.
With the additional counter, all of these messages are either redundant or benign, so we reduce them to pr_debug_ratelimited().
