Hi,
It looks like there are multiple use-after-free accesses in
j1939_session_deactivate()

static bool j1939_session_deactivate(struct j1939_session *session)
{
bool active;

j1939_session_list_lock(session->priv);
active = j1939_session_deactivate_locked(session); //session can be freed inside
j1939_session_list_unlock(session->priv); // It causes UAF read and write

return active;
}

session can be freed by
j1939_session_deactivate_locked->j1939_session_put->__j1939_session_release->j1939_session_destroy->kfree.
Therefore it makes the unlock function perform UAF access.
Potentially I would agree, but this function takes "session" as
property. Any function which provided session pointer should
care about own ref counting. If described scenarios really happens, then
there is problem on other place. Was you able to reproduce it?

Regards,
Oleksij
