sk->sk_user_data has multiple users, which are not compatible with each
other. Writers must synchronize by grabbing the sk->sk_callback_lock.
l2tp currently fails to grab the lock when modifying the underlying tunnel
socket fields. Fix it by adding appropriate locking.
We err on the side of safety and grab the sk_callback_lock also inside the
sk_destruct callback overridden by l2tp, even though there should be no
refs allowing access to the sock at the time when sk_destruct gets called.
v4:
- serialize write to sk_user_data in l2tp sk_destruct
v3:
- switch from sock lock to sk_callback_lock
- document write-protection for sk_user_data
v2:
- update Fixes to point to origin of the bug
- use real names in Reported/Tested-by tags

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
