[ Upstream commit 737889efe9713a0f20a75fd0de952841d9275e6b ]

When checking the code with clang -Wsometimes-uninitialized we get the
following warning:

if (!tipc_link_is_establishing(l)) {
    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
net/tipc/node.c:847:46: note: uninitialized use occurs here
      tipc_bearer_xmit(n-&gt;net, bearer_id, &amp;xmitq, maddr);

net/tipc/node.c:831:2: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always
true
if (!tipc_link_is_establishing(l)) {
    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
net/tipc/node.c:821:31: note: initialize the variable 'maddr' to silence
this warning
struct tipc_media_addr *maddr;

We fix this by initializing 'maddr' to NULL. For the matter of clarity,
we also test if 'xmitq' is non-empty before we use it and 'maddr'
further down in the  function. It will never happen that 'xmitq' is non-
empty at the same time as 'maddr' is NULL, so this is a sufficient test.

[ Upstream commit 94f6a80c0c11828cb7b3d79294459dd8d761ca89 ]

When we get link properties through netlink interface with
tipc_nl_node_get_link(), we don't validate TIPC_NLA_LINK_NAME
attribute at all, instead we directly use it. As a consequence,
KMSAN detected the TIPC_NLA_LINK_NAME attribute was an uninitialized
value, and then posted the following complaint:

Unfortunately, the wrong version of the commit was posted, so the

[ Upstream commit 36a50a989ee8267588de520b8704b85f045a3220 ]

When configuring the number of used bearers to MAX_BEARER and issuing
command "tipc link monitor summary", the command enters infinite loop
in user space.

This issue happens because function tipc_nl_node_dump_monitor() returns
the wrong 'prev_bearer' value when all potential monitors have been
scanned.

The correct behavior is to always try to scan all monitors until either
the netlink message is full, in which case we return the bearer identity
of the affected monitor, or we continue through the whole bearer array
until we can return MAX_BEARERS. This solution also caters for the case
where there may be gaps in the bearer array.

If we fail to find a valid bearer in tipc_node_get_linkname(),
node_read_unlock() is called without holding the node read lock.

This commit fixes this error.

<title>tipc: perform skb_linearize() before parsing the inner header</title>

In tipc_rcv(), we linearize only the header and usually the packets
are consumed as the nodes permit direct reception. However, if the
skb contains tunnelled message due to fail over or synchronization
we parse it in tipc_node_check_state() without performing
linearization. This will cause link disturbances if the skb was
non linear.

In this commit, we perform linearization for the above messages.

<title>tipc: don't reset stale broadcast send link</title>

When the broadcast send link after 100 attempts has failed to
transfer a packet to all peers, we consider it stale, and reset
it. Thereafter it needs to re-synchronize with the peers, something
currently done by just resetting and re-establishing all links to
all peers. This has turned out to be overkill, with potentially
unwanted consequences for the remaining cluster.

A closer analysis reveals that this can be done much simpler. When
this kind of failure happens, for reasons that may lie outside the
TIPC protocol, it is typically only one peer which is failing to
receive and acknowledge packets. It is hence sufficient to identify
and reset the links only to that peer to resolve the situation, without
having to reset the broadcast link at all. This solution entails a much
lower risk of negative consequences for the own node as well as for
the overall cluster.

We implement this change in this commit.

<title>tipc: remove premature ESTABLISH FSM event at link synchronization</title>

<content type='text'>
When a link between two nodes come up, both endpoints will initially
send out a STATE message to the peer, to increase the probability that
the peer endpoint also is up when the first traffic message arrives.
Thereafter, if the establishing link is the second link between two
nodes, this first "traffic" message is a TUNNEL_PROTOCOL/SYNCH message,
helping the peer to perform initial synchronization between the two
links.

However, the initial STATE message may be lost, in which case the SYNCH
message will be the first one arriving at the peer. This should also
work, as the SYNCH message itself will be used to take up the link
endpoint before  initializing synchronization.

Unfortunately the code for this case is broken. Currently, the link is
brought up through a tipc_link_fsm_evt(ESTABLISHED) when a SYNCH
arrives, whereupon __tipc_node_link_up() is called to distribute the
link slots and take the link into traffic. But, __tipc_node_link_up() is
itself starting with a test for whether the link is up, and if true,
returns without action. Clearly, the tipc_link_fsm_evt(ESTABLISHED) call
is unnecessary, since tipc_node_link_up() is itself issuing such an
event, but also harmful, since it inhibits tipc_node_link_up() to
perform the test of its tasks, and the link endpoint in question hence
is never taken into traffic.

This problem has been exposed when we set up dual links between pre-
and post-4.4 kernels, because the former ones don't send out the
initial STATE message described above.

We fix this by removing the unnecessary event call.
