2025-04-17ovpn: notify userspace when a peer is deletedAntonio Quartulli
Whenever a peer is deleted, send a notification to userspace so that it can react accordingly. This is most important when a peer is deleted due to ping timeout, because it all happens in kernelspace and thus userspace has no direct way to learn about it.

2025-04-17ovpn: kill key and notify userspace in case of IV exhaustionAntonio Quartulli
IV wrap-around is cryptographically dangerous for a number of ciphers, therefore kill the key and inform userspace (via netlink) should the IV space go exhausted. Userspace has two ways of deciding when the key has to be renewed before exhausting the IV space: 1) time based approach: after X seconds/minutes userspace generates a new key and sends it to the kernel. This is based on guestimate and normally default timer value works well. 2) packet count based approach: after X packets/bytes userspace generates a new key and sends it to the kernel. Userspace keeps track of the amount of traffic by periodically polling GET_PEER and fetching the VPN/LINK stats.
