When the function tipc_accept_from_sock() fails to create an instance of
struct tipc_subscriber it omits to free the already created instance of
struct tipc_conn instance before it returns.

We fix that with this commit.

In tipc_topsrv_kern_subscr() when s-&gt;tipc_conn_new() fails
we call tipc_close_conn() to clean up, but in this case
calling conn_put() is just enough.

This fixes the folllowing crash:

The tipc_alloc_conn() function never returns NULL, it returns error
pointers, so I have fixed the check.

As preparation for introducing communication groups, we add the ability
to issue topology subscriptions and receive topology events from kernel
space. This will make it possible for group member sockets to keep track
of other group members.

In tipc_server_stop(), we iterate over the connections with limiting
factor as server's idr_in_use. We ignore the fact that this variable
is decremented in tipc_close_conn(), leading to premature exit.

In this commit, we iterate until the we have no connections left.

In tipc_conn_sendmsg(), we first queue the request to the outqueue
followed by the connection state check. If the connection is not
connected, we should not queue this message.

In this commit, we reject the messages if the connection state is
not CF_CONNECTED.

<title>tipc: fix nametbl_lock soft lockup at module exit</title>

Commit 333f796235a527 ("tipc: fix a race condition leading to
subscriber refcnt bug") reveals a soft lockup while acquiring
nametbl_lock.

Before commit 333f796235a527, we call tipc_conn_shutdown() from
tipc_close_conn() in the context of tipc_topsrv_stop(). In that
context, we are allowed to grab the nametbl_lock.

Commit 333f796235a527, moved tipc_conn_release (renamed from
tipc_conn_shutdown) to the connection refcount cleanup. This allows
either tipc_nametbl_withdraw() or tipc_topsrv_stop() to the cleanup.

Since tipc_exit_net() first calls tipc_topsrv_stop() and then
tipc_nametble_withdraw() increases the chances for the later to
perform the connection cleanup.

The soft lockup occurs in the call chain of tipc_nametbl_withdraw(),
when it performs the tipc_conn_kref_release() as it tries to grab
nametbl_lock again while holding it already.
tipc_nametbl_withdraw() grabs nametbl_lock
  tipc_nametbl_remove_publ()
    tipc_subscrp_report_overlap()
      tipc_subscrp_send_event()
        tipc_conn_sendmsg()
          &lt;&lt; if (con-&gt;flags != CF_CONNECTED) we do conn_put(),
             triggering the cleanup as refcount=0. &gt;&gt;
          tipc_conn_kref_release
            tipc_sock_release
              tipc_conn_release
                tipc_subscrb_delete
                  tipc_subscrp_delete
                    tipc_nametbl_unsubscribe &lt;&lt; Soft Lockup &gt;&gt;

The previous changes in this series fixes the race conditions fixed
by commit 333f796235a527. Hence we can now revert the commit.

The previous changes in this series fixes the race conditions fixed
by commit 333f796235a527. Hence we can now revert the commit.

<content type='text'>
Until now, the generic server framework maintains the connection
id's per subscriber in server's conn_idr. At tipc_close_conn, we
remove the connection id from the server list, but the connection is
valid until we call the refcount cleanup. Hence we have a window
where the server allocates the same connection to an new subscriber
leading to inconsistent reference count. We have another refcount
warning we grab the refcount in tipc_conn_lookup() for connections
with flag with CF_CONNECTED not set. This usually occurs at shutdown
when the we stop the topology server and withdraw TIPC_CFG_SRV
publication thereby triggering a withdraw message to subscribers.

In this commit, we:
1. remove the connection from the server list at recount cleanup.
2. grab the refcount for a connection only if CF_CONNECTED is set.

<title>tipc: Use kmemdup instead of kmalloc and memcpy</title>

<id>810bf11033637a2069952afb9c37f3afd3bbfe41</id>
<content type='text'>
Replace calls to kmalloc followed by a memcpy with a direct call to
kmemdup.

The Coccinelle semantic patch used to make this change is as follows:
@@
expression from,to,size,flag;
statement S;
@@

-  to = \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\)(size,flag);
+  to = kmemdup(from,size,flag);
   if (to==NULL || ...) S
-  memcpy(to, from, size);

TCP stack can now run from process context.

Use read_lock_bh(&amp;sk-&gt;sk_callback_lock) variant to restore previous
assumption.

Fixes: 5413d1babe8f ("net: do not block BH while processing socket backlog")
Fixes: d41a69f1d390 ("tcp: make tcp_sendmsg() aware of socket backlog")
