The reference count leak issue may take place in an error handling
path. If both conditions of tunnel->version == L2TP_HDR_VER_3 and the
return value of l2tp_v3_ensure_opt_in_linear is nonzero, the function
would directly jump to label invalid, without decrementing the reference
count of the l2tp_session object session increased earlier by
l2tp_tunnel_get_session(). This may result in refcount leaks.

Fix this issue by decrease the reference count before jumping to the
label invalid.

I agree with your analysis.  Thanks for catching this!

The error paths in l2tp_udp_recv_core are a bit convoluted because of
the check (!session || !session->recv_skb) which may or may not need
to drop a session reference if triggered.

I think it could be simplified since session->recv_skb is always set
for all the current session types in the tree, but doing that is probably
a little patch series on its own.
