[PATCH 3.2 057/147] l2tp: initialise session's refcount before making it reachable

[Ben Hutchings]

3.2.95-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Guillaume Nault <g.nault@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 9ee369a405c57613d7c83a3967780c3e30c52ecc upstream.

Sessions must be fully initialised before calling
l2tp_session_add_to_tunnel(). Otherwise, there's a short time frame
where partially initialised sessions can be accessed by external users.

Fixes: dbdbc73b4478 ("l2tp: fix duplicate session creation")
