4.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Guillaume Nault <g.nault@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 94d7ee0baa8b764cf64ad91ed69464c1a6a0066b ] The code following l2tp_tunnel_find() expects that a new reference is held on sk. Either sk_receive_skb() or the discard_put error path will drop a reference from the tunnel's socket. This issue exists in both l2tp_ip and l2tp_ip6. Fixes: a3c18422a4b4 ("l2tp: hold socket before dropping lock in l2tp_ip{, 6}_recv()") Signed-off-by: Guillaume Nault <g.nault@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
