Qingfang Deng 0417adf367 ppp: fix race conditions in ppp_fill_forward_path
ppp_fill_forward_path() has two race conditions:

1. The ppp->channels list can change between list_empty() and
   list_first_entry(), as ppp_lock() is not held. If the only channel
   is deleted in ppp_disconnect_channel(), list_first_entry() may
   access an empty head or a freed entry, and trigger a panic.

2. pch->chan can be NULL. When ppp_unregister_channel() is called,
   pch->chan is set to NULL before pch is removed from ppp->channels.

Fix these by using a lockless RCU approach:
- Use list_first_or_null_rcu() to safely test and access the first list
  entry.
- Convert list modifications on ppp->channels to their RCU variants and
  add synchronize_net() after removal.
- Check for a NULL pch->chan before dereferencing it.

Fixes: f6efc675c9 ("net: ppp: resolve forwarding path for bridge pppoe devices")

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

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.
