[ Upstream commit c492d4c74dd3f87559883ffa0f94a8f1ae3fe5f5 ]

This patch is to fix a dst defcnt leak, which can be reproduced by doing:

  # ip net a c; ip net a s; modprobe tipc
  # ip net e s ip l a n eth1 type veth peer n eth1 netns c
  # ip net e c ip l s lo up; ip net e c ip l s eth1 up
  # ip net e s ip l s lo up; ip net e s ip l s eth1 up
  # ip net e c ip a a 1.1.1.2/8 dev eth1
  # ip net e s ip a a 1.1.1.1/8 dev eth1
  # ip net e c tipc b e m udp n u1 localip 1.1.1.2
  # ip net e s tipc b e m udp n u1 localip 1.1.1.1
  # ip net d c; ip net d s; rmmod tipc

and it will get stuck and keep logging the error:

  unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 1

The cause is that a dst is held by the udp sock's sk_rx_dst set on udp rx
path with udp_early_demux == 1, and this dst (eventually holding lo dev)
can't be released as bearer's removal in tipc pernet .exit happens after
lo dev's removal, default_device pernet .exit.

 "There are two distinct types of pernet_operations recognized: subsys and
  device.  At creation all subsys init functions are called before device
  init functions, and at destruction all device exit functions are called
  before subsys exit function."

So by calling register_pernet_device instead to register tipc_net_ops, the
pernet .exit() will be invoked earlier than loopback dev's removal when a
netns is being destroyed, as fou/gue does.

Note that vxlan and geneve udp tunnels don't have this issue, as the udp
sock is released in their device ndo_stop().

This fix is also necessary for tipc dst_cache, which will hold dsts on tx
path and I will introduce in my next patch.

commit 526f5b851a96566803ee4bee60d0a34df56c77f8 upstream.

Error message printed:
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'tipc': Address family not
supported by protocol.
when modprobe tipc after the following patch: switch order of
device registration, commit 7e27e8d6130c
("tipc: switch order of device registration to fix a crash")

Because sock_create_kern(net, AF_TIPC, ...) called by
tipc_topsrv_create_listener() in the initialization process
of tipc_init_net(), so tipc_socket_init() must be execute before that.
Meanwhile, tipc_net_id need to be initialized when sock_create()
called, and tipc_socket_init() is no need to be called for each namespace.

I add a variable tipc_topsrv_net_ops, and split the
register_pernet_subsys() of tipc into two parts, and split
tipc_socket_init() with initialization of pernet params.

By the way, I fixed resources rollback error when tipc_bcast_init()
failed in tipc_init_net().

[ Upstream commit 7e27e8d6130c5e88fac9ddec4249f7f2337fe7f8 ]

When tipc is loaded while many processes try to create a TIPC socket,
a crash occurs:
 PANIC: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual
 address "dfff20000000021d"
 pc : tipc_sk_create+0x374/0x1180 [tipc]
 lr : tipc_sk_create+0x374/0x1180 [tipc]
   Exception class = DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits
 Call trace:
  tipc_sk_create+0x374/0x1180 [tipc]
  __sock_create+0x1cc/0x408
  __sys_socket+0xec/0x1f0
  __arm64_sys_socket+0x74/0xa8
 ...

This is due to race between sock_create and unfinished
register_pernet_device. tipc_sk_insert tries to do
"net_generic(net, tipc_net_id)".
but tipc_net_id is not initialized yet.

So switch the order of the two to close the race.

This can be reproduced with multiple processes doing socket(AF_TIPC, ...)
and one process doing module removal.

commit 541726abe7daca64390c2ec34e6a203145f1686d upstream.

Nametable updates received from the network that cannot be applied
immediately are placed on a defer queue. This queue is global to the
TIPC module, which might cause problems when using TIPC in containers.
To prevent nametable updates from escaping into the wrong namespace,
we make the queue pernet instead.

<title>tipc: create broadcast transmission link at namespace init</title>

The broadcast transmission link is currently instantiated when the
network subsystem is started, i.e., on order from user space via netlink.

This forces the broadcast transmission code to do unnecessary tests for
the existence of the transmission link, as well in single mode node as
in network mode.

In this commit, we do instead create the link during initialization of
the name space, and remove it when it is stopped. The fact that the
transmission link now has a guaranteed longer life cycle than any of its
potential clients paves the way for further code simplifcations
and optimizations.

When a topology server accepts a connection request from its client,
it allocates a connection instance and a tipc_subscriber structure
object. The former is used to communicate with client, and the latter
is often treated as a subscriber which manages all subscription events
requested from a same client. When a topology server receives a request
of subscribing name services from a client through the connection, it
creates a tipc_subscription structure instance which is seen as a
subscription recording what name services are subscribed. In order to
manage all subscriptions from a same client, topology server links
them into the subscrp_list of the subscriber. So subscriber and
subscription completely represents different meanings respectively,
but function names associated with them make us so confused that we
are unable to easily tell which function is against subscriber and
which is to subscription. So we want to eliminate the confusion by
renaming them.

it allocates a connection instance and a tipc_subscriber structure
object. The former is used to communicate with client, and the latter
is often treated as a subscriber which manages all subscription events
requested from a same client. When a topology server receives a request
of subscribing name services from a client through the connection, it
creates a tipc_subscription structure instance which is seen as a
subscription recording what name services are subscribed. In order to
manage all subscriptions from a same client, topology server links
them into the subscrp_list of the subscriber. So subscriber and
subscription completely represents different meanings respectively,
but function names associated with them make us so confused that we
are unable to easily tell which function is against subscriber and
which is to subscription. So we want to eliminate the confusion by
renaming them.

When remove TIPC module, there is a warning to remind us that a slab
object is leaked like:

root@localhost:~# rmmod tipc
[   19.056226] =============================================================================
[   19.057549] BUG TIPC (Not tainted): Objects remaining in TIPC on kmem_cache_close()
[   19.058736] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[   19.058736]
[   19.060287] INFO: Slab 0xffffea0000519a00 objects=23 used=1 fp=0xffff880014668b00 flags=0x100000000004080
[   19.061915] INFO: Object 0xffff880014668000 @offset=0
[   19.062717] kmem_cache_destroy TIPC: Slab cache still has objects

This is because the listening socket of TIPC topology server is not
closed before TIPC proto handler is unregistered with proto_unregister().
However, as the socket is closed in tipc_exit_net() which is called by
unregister_pernet_subsys() during unregistering TIPC namespace operation,
the warning can be eliminated if calling unregister_pernet_subsys() is
moved before calling proto_unregister().

Fixes: e05b31f4bf89 ("tipc: make tipc socket support net namespace")

Add TIPC_CMD_NOOP to compat layer and remove the old framework.

All legacy nl commands are now converted to the compat layer in
netlink_compat.c.
