Dear Sir,

I am having lots of trouble PPP crashing in the kernel.
I am using ubuntu 16.04 based on linux kernel 4.4.y.

The BUG is already fixed in 4.8.y branch and 3.12.y branch.
I have included the link here for your reference.

Please import this bug-fix patch in to 4.4.y branch.

BUG:
ppp: defer netns reference release for ppp channel
