Hi Qingfang,
It looks like the issue happened once since this patch is being tested:

https://netdev-ctrl.bots.linux.dev/logs/vmksft/net-extra/results/668501/11-pppol2tp-sh/stdout

Is it enough for you to understand what's wrong and how to fix it?

Yes. Both pppd instances detected a false loopback, possibly because they happened to use the same PRNG seed to generate the magic number. I'll send a patch to disable this detection.

Regards,
