I've thought about that too, but couldn't find a scenario that could
trigger the bug.
To get ->private_data pointing to a struct channel pointer, a file needs
to ioctl(PPPIOCATTCHAN) first. For this call to succeed, the channel
must have been registered with ppp_register_net_channel(). Both
operations take a reference on the channel, which means that, before
adding pch->clist to a ppp->channels list (with ppp_connect_channel()),
the channel is already held by a /dev/ppp file and by the code that
registered the channel in the first place.
Therefore, closing the /dev/ppp file can't be enough to make
ppp_release() free the channel. We need to unregister the channel for
the refcount to drop to 0. And ppp_unregister_channel(), removes
pch->clist from ppp->channels before decrementing the reference
counter.
I'm simplifying a bit, and there could always be a race somewhere. But
I couldn't find anything so far.
