Hi Greg.
*Now with better spelling of "upstream".*
This is for 4.9.
This is a follow-up to "fix l2tp use-after-free in pppol2tp_sendmsg" for 4.14. Pulling on the thread pulled in many other earlier locking fixes in between 4.9 and 4.14.
I've done some minor rework on a few of these to avoid pulling in refcount as a replacement for atomic which would have meant 10+ more patches (I still had compilation errors at 10).
Some minor other patch commutation was needed and where it wasn't completely trivial, I've added a note to the commit messages.
The series does include a few non-fixes, but they look safe and mean that the fixes (and other backports) apply more cleanly.
All now queued up, thanks.
