3.16.60-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Guillaume Nault <g.nault@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 5411b6187adf62909e3b998ac782e722904c7487 upstream. Commit 0e0c3fee3a59 ("l2tp: hold reference on tunnels printed in pppol2tp proc file") assumed that if pppol2tp_seq_stop() was called with non-NULL private data (the 'v' pointer), then pppol2tp_seq_start() would not be called again. It turns out that this isn't guaranteed, and overflowing the seq_file's buffer in pppol2tp_seq_show() is a way to get into this situation. Therefore, pppol2tp_seq_stop() needs to reset pd->tunnel, so that pppol2tp_seq_start() won't drop a reference again if it gets called. We also have to clear pd->session, because the rest of the code expects a non-NULL tunnel when pd->session is set. The l2tp_debugfs module has the same issue. Fix it in the same way.
