[Openvpn-devel,v3,10/25] dco: periodically check and possibly rotate/delete keys
Commit Message
Data channel keys are periodically regenarated and installed in
ovpn-dco.
However, there is a certain moment when keys are rotated in order
to elect the new primary one.
Check the key status in userspace so that kernelspace can be informed as
well when rotations happen.

Changes from v2:
* reworked dco_update_keys():
** removed existing ASSERTs on keys and converted into something more
logic and related to the flow
** fixed comment about userspace (use "we" for more clarity)
** add error code handling. The idea is to abort operations as soon as a
failure is detected, so that the next iteration can make another
attempt.
Changes from v1:
* added comments to ASSERT() in dco_update_keys()

Looks to me like this addresses all my comments.

The review of that was a combined effort, mostly Frank on mail and
Antonio and I on IRC - but the v3 is now easier to understand, and
"should work nicely".
I have slightly extended the comment before "swapping primary and
secondary keys" to make a bit clearer how we end there (we discussed
that comment on IRC).
This said, I have only tested the "no DCO in kernel" cases, as the
rest is still missing functinality - and for "no DCO", this becomes
fairly much "no change", as the only new code otherwise is guarded
with "if (!dco_enabled(&c->options))".
Your patch has been applied to the master branch.
