Hm, looks like we have a race where new session is created in
j1939_xtp_rx_rts(), just at the moment where we call
j1939_can_rx_unregister().

Haw about following change:
--- a/net/can/j1939/main.c
+++ b/net/can/j1939/main.c
@@ -214,6 +214,7 @@ static void __j1939_rx_release(struct kref *kref)
                                               rx_kref);
 
        j1939_can_rx_unregister(priv);
+       j1939_cancel_active_session(priv, NULL);

        mutex_unlock(&j1939_netdev_lock);
Well, j1939_cancel_active_session(priv, NULL) is already called from
j1939_netdev_notify(NETDEV_UNREGISTER). Unless a session is recreated
after NETDEV_UNREGISTER event was handled, I can't imagine such race.

We can see that there are three j1939_session_new() calls but only
two j1939_session_destroy() calls. There might be a refcount leak on
j1939_session which prevents j1939_priv from dropping final refcount.

in order to also try tracing refcount for j1939_session ?
Ack.
