Subject: l2tp: take reference on sessions being dumped
From: Guillaume Nault <g.nault@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit e08293a4ccbcc993ded0fdc46f1e57926b833d63 ]
Take a reference on the sessions returned by l2tp_session_find_nth()
(and rename it l2tp_session_get_nth() to reflect this change), so that
caller is assured that the session isn't going to disappear while
processing it.
For procfs and debugfs handlers, the session is held in the .start()
callback and dropped in .show(). Given that pppol2tp_seq_session_show()
dereferences the associated PPPoL2TP socket and that
l2tp_dfs_seq_session_show() might call pppol2tp_show(), we also need to
call the session's .ref() callback to prevent the socket from going
away from under us.
Fixes: fd558d186df2 ("l2tp: Split pppol2tp patch into separate l2tp and ppp parts")
Fixes: 0ad6614048cf ("l2tp: Add debugfs files for dumping l2tp debug info")
Fixes: 309795f4bec2 ("l2tp: Add netlink control API for L2TP")
