Subject[PATCH 4.9 36/64] l2tp: initialise sessions refcount before making it reachable
Date
From: Guillaume Nault <g.nault@alphalink.fr>

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.

Backporting Notes

l2tp_core.c: moving code that had been converted from atomic to
refcount_t by an earlier change (which isn't being included in this
patch series).

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