From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit dc3da0461cc4b76f2d0c5b12247fcb3b520edbbf ] Nothing ensures that session will still be valid by the time we dereference the pointer. Take and put a reference. In principle, we should always be able to get a reference here, but throw a warning if that's ever not the case.
