Each l2tp ppp session has an associated pppox socket. l2tp_ppp uses the session's pppox socket refcount to manage session lifetimes; the pppox socket holds a ref on the session which is dropped by the socket destructor. This complicates session cleanup. Given l2tp sessions are refcounted, it makes more sense to reverse this relationship such that the session keeps the socket alive, not the other way around. So refactor l2tp_ppp to have the session hold a ref on its socket while it references it. When the session is closed, it drops its socket ref when it detaches from its socket. If the socket is closed first, it initiates the closing of its session, if one is attached. The socket/session can then be freed asynchronously when their refcounts drop to 0. Use the session's session_close callback to detach the pppox socket since this will be done on the work queue together with the rest of the session cleanup via l2tp_session_delete. Also, since l2tp_ppp uses the pppox socket's sk_user_data, use the rcu sk_user_data access helpers when accessing it and set the socket's SOCK_RCU_FREE flag to have pppox sockets freed by rcu.

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 reStructuredText 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.
