David S. Miller 05ce8bd43f Merge branch 'l2tp-register-sessions-atomically'
Guillaume Nault says:

====================
l2tp: register sessions atomically

Currently l2tp_session_create() allocates a session, partially
initialises it and finally registers it. It therefore exposes sessions
that aren't fully initialised to the rest of the system, because
pseudo-wire specific initialisation can only happen after
l2tp_session_create() returns.
This leads to several crashes when these sessions are used or deleted.

This series starts by splitting session registration out of
l2tp_session_create() (patch #1). Thus allowing pseudo-wires code to
terminate the initialisation phase before registration.

Then patch #2 fixes the eth pseudo-wire code. This requires protecting
the session's netdevice pointer with RCU, because it still needs to be
updated concurrently after the session got registered.

Remaining patches take care of ppp pseudo-wires. RCU protection is
needed there too, for the same reasons. This time it's the pppol2tp
socket pointer that gets protected. For clarity, and since the
conversion requires more modifications, introducing RCU is done in
its own patch (#3). Then patch #4 only has to take care of fixing
sessions initialisation and registration (and adapting part of the
deletion process).

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
