My guess is that we're racing the synchronize_rcu() in del_chan() with
the RCU protected read in lookup_chan_dst():

pptp_release()
	del_chan()				lookup_chan_dst()
		enter synchronize_rcu()
							sock = rcu_dereference(...)
		exit synchronize_rcu()
	release_sock()
	sock_put()
							opt = &sock->proto.pptp;
							[ boom ]


"Guess" because I couldn't properly reproduce the issue to confirm it,
however - I don't have a different guess at what might be off and I'd like
someone to confirm that guess before I go ahead and send patches out.


Thanks,
Sasha
