OK patch seems really easy...

This bug was added in commit 4e9fb8016a351b5b9da7fea32bcfdbc9d836e421
net: pppol2tp - introduce net-namespace functionality

So this is a stable candidate I guess ?

Thank you


[PATCH] pppol2tp: calls unregister_pernet_gen_device() at unload time

Failure to call unregister_pernet_gen_device() can exhaust memory
if module is loaded/unloaded many times.
