3.16.46-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Guillaume Nault <g.nault@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 57377d63547861919ee634b845c7caa38de4a452 upstream. Holding a reference on session is required before calling pppol2tp_session_ioctl(). The session could get freed while processing the ioctl otherwise. Since pppol2tp_session_ioctl() uses the session's socket, we also need to take a reference on it in l2tp_session_get().
