    l2tp: fix duplicate session creation · dbdbc73b
    Guillaume Nault authored
    l2tp_session_create() relies on its caller for checking for duplicate
    sessions. This is racy since a session can be concurrently inserted
    after the caller's verification.
    
    Fix this by letting l2tp_session_create() verify sessions uniqueness
    upon insertion. Callers need to be adapted to check for
    l2tp_session_create()'s return code instead of calling
    l2tp_session_find().
    
    pppol2tp_connect() is a bit special because it has to work on existing
    sessions (if they're not connected) or to create a new session if none
    is found. When acting on a preexisting session, a reference must be
    held or it could go away on us. So we have to use l2tp_session_get()
    instead of l2tp_session_find() and drop the reference before exiting.

    Fixes: fd558d18 ("l2tp: Split pppol2tp patch into separate l2tp and ppp parts")
