Yes, original patch had also the same problem with sock_owned_by_user(),
so I just incorrectly assumed that we can do "goto nospace" after
pppoatm_may_send(), but ppooatm_may_send() must be the last test.

So I just moved all other tests earlier and and now pppoatm_may_send()
is also protected by ATM socket lock as you suggested earlier.

Subject: [PATCH] pppoatm: fix race condition with destroying of vcc

The pppoatm_send() calls vcc->send() and now also checks for
some vcc flags that indicate destroyed vcc without proper locking.

The vcc_sendmsg() uses lock_sock(sk). This lock is used by
vcc_release(), so vcc_destroy_socket() will not be called between
check and during ->send(). The vcc_release_async() sets ATM_VF_CLOSE,
but it should be safe to call ->send() after it, because
vcc->dev->ops->close() is not called.

The pppoatm_send() is called with BH disabled, so bh_lock_sock()
should be used instead of lock_sock().
