Re: [PATCH net] ax25: use after free in ax25_connect

[Hangyu Hua <hbh25y@gmail.com>]

I try to use ax25_release to trigger this bug like this:
ax25_release                 ax25_connect
lock_sock(sk);
-----------------------------sk = sock->sk;
-----------------------------ax25 = sk_to_ax25(sk);
ax25_destroy_socket(ax25);
release_sock(sk);
-----------------------------lock_sock(sk);
-----------------------------use ax25 again

But i failed beacause their have large speed difference. And i
don't have a physical device to test other function in ax25.
Anyway, i still think there will have a function to trigger this
race condition like ax25_destroy_timer. Beacause Any ohter
functions in ax25_proto_ops like ax25_bind protect ax25_sock by 
lock_sock(sk).

Thanks.
