nit: I'm not sure that matters since the only thing the caller checks
is ret != AF_UNSPEC, and at this point, while ss_family could have
been changed, it would have changed from AF_INET6 to AF_INET, so it's
!= AF_UNSPEC.

I am pretty sure at some point the return value was used for some reason, but now it is indeed useless.

Well, I think I wiil just convert the return type to bool:
true -> we have a remote
false -> we don't

And in MP mode, at least one VPN_IP* is required?

Yeah. I'll add a check for this requirement too.

Is a peer on a UDP socket without any remote (neither
OVPN_A_PEER_REMOTE_IPV4 nor OVPN_A_PEER_REMOTE_IPV6) valid? We just
wait until we get data from it to update the endpoint?

Or should there be a check to make sure that one was provided?

Yeah, I'll add a check.

Maybe s/-ENOTSOCK/PTR_ERR(ovpn_sock)/ ?
Overwriting ovpn_socket_new's -EBUSY etc with -ENOTSOCK is a bit
misleading to the caller.

This is the error code that userspace will see.
Returning -EBUSY/-EALREADY for a socket error from the PEER_NEW call would be too vague IMHO (the user wouldn't know this is coming from the socket processing subroutine).

Hence the decision to explicitly return -ENOSOCK (something's wrong with the socket you passed) and then send the underling error in the ERR_MSG (which the user can inspect if he wants to learn more about what exactly went wrong).
Doesn't it make sense?

I think you need to add:

	ovpn_socket_release(peer);

If ovpn_socket_new succeeded, ovpn_peer_release only takes care of the
peer but not its socket.

You're right, because now the socket is released only in ovpn_peer_remove().

Will add a call to ovpn_socket_release(). Thanks!

The check for non-UDP socket with a remote address configured should
be replicated here, no?

ah, good catch! we may be adding a remote while using a TCP socket.
Will add check here.

Thanks!
