PATCH 1/1 uapi: fix linux/if_pppol2tp.h userspace compilation errors
Move inclusion of <linux/l2tp.h> before <linux/in.h> to fix userspace compilation errors like this:

This is protected properly by __UAPI_DEF_IN_ADDR, so whichever gets included first makes the definition.
This whole thing is designed so that if GLIBC headers are included first, __UAPI_DEF_IN_ADDR will be defined to zero, therefore linux/in.h won't try to make the definition. Otherwise it will.
The facility should not be so fragile that we have to play all kinds of header ordering games. We would be imposing the same strange rules on userspace applications including these headers which is completely unacceptable.
So if the facility isn't working correctly, let's fix that instead of fidgeting with include ordering all over the tree.
Thanks.

The facility is so fragile that netinet/in.h cannot be included after linux/in.h:
$ gcc -S -o/dev/null -xc /dev/null -include /usr/include/linux/in.h -include /usr/include/netinet/in.h

I don't mind if the whole facility will get fixed someday.
My humble objective was just to fix the regression introduced in v4.10-rc1 by commit 47c3e7783be4.

PATCH v2 1/1 uapi: fix linux/if_pppol2tp.h userspace compilation errors
Because of <linux/libc-compat.h> interface limitations, <netinet/in.h> provided by libc cannot be included after <linux/in.h>, therefore any header that includes <netinet/in.h> cannot be included after <linux/in.h>.
Change uapi/linux/l2tp.h, the last uapi header that includes <netinet/in.h>, to include <linux/in.h> and <linux/in6.h> instead of <netinet/in.h> and use __SOCK_SIZE__ instead of sizeof(struct sockaddr) the same way as uapi/linux/in.h does, to fix linux/if_pppol2tp.h userspace compilation errors like this:

This looks a lot better.
Applied and queued up for -stable, thanks.
