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. Fix it by adding appropriate locking.

We don't to grab the lock when l2tp clears sk_user_data, because it happens
only in sk->sk_destruct, when the sock is going away.

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

Fixes: 3557baabf280 ("[L2TP]: PPP over L2TP driver core")

l2tp can additionally clears sk_user_data in sk->sk_prot->close() via 
udp_lib_close() -> sk_common_release() -> sk->sk_prot->destroy() -> 
udp_destroy_sock() -> up->encap_destroy() -> l2tp_udp_encap_destroy().

That still happens at socket closing time, but when network has still
access to the sock itself. It should be safe as the other sk_user_data
users touch it only via fd, but perhaps a 'better safe the sorry'
approach could be relevant there?

Thanks!

Paolo

Fair point. Let me add that.
