3.16.50-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Guillaume Nault <g.nault@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 4e4b21da3acc68a7ea55f850cacc13706b7480e9 upstream. Use l2tp_tunnel_get() instead of l2tp_tunnel_find() so that we get a reference on the tunnel, preventing l2tp_tunnel_destruct() from freeing it from under us. Also move l2tp_tunnel_get() below nlmsg_new() so that we only take the reference when needed.
