Subject: dco: make key state desync recoverable
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb/index.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ea3bb67e2b1e130c90cd2b28ec5e31a455d60164;p=thirdparty%2Fopenvpn.git

dco: make key state desync recoverable

If installing a DCO key succeeds, always record the slot in the
corresponding key_state. The installed-key counter only tracks whether
the number of kernel slots grew, but a successful KEY_NEW still means
that this key_state is associated with the selected DCO slot.

Also replace DCO key-state assertions in dco_update_keys() with error
returns. This preserves the invariant checks but lets the existing
caller restart the connection instead of aborting the process if
userspace ever detects inconsistent DCO key state.
