There are also some minor potential issues in pppoatm driver:

	- locking issues, but now only between pppoatm_send() and
	  vcc_sendmsg() and maybe some other functions,
these have been around for a while.  i agree that something should be
done about it.  just not sure what should be synchronizing this mess.
I think the ATM socket lock should be used. I'm sending the latest
patch that adds this locking after David Woodhouse's comments. The vcc->flags
check is now probably unnecessary.

	- missing check for SS_CONNECTED in pppoatm_ioctl,
in practice you will never run into this because a pvc is immediately
put into SS_CONNECTED mode (right before the userspace open()
returns).  however, should it check?  yes.  i dont see anything
preventing you from running ppp on svc's.
I can confirm that the problem really exists, without connect() in pppoatm
plugin in pppd, I have seen an Oops and panic. I will send appropriate
patch.

Thanks.
