Several spots in the kernel perform a sequence like:
skb_queue_tail(&sk->s_receive_queue, skb);
sk->sk_data_ready(sk, skb->len);
But at the moment we place the SKB onto the socket receive queue it
can be consumed and freed up. So this skb->len access is potentially
to freed up memory.
Furthermore, the skb->len can be modified by the consumer so it is
possible that the value isn't accurate.
And finally, no actual implementation of this callback actually uses
the length argument. And since nobody actually cared about it's
value, lots of call sites pass arbitrary values in such as '0' and
even '1'.
So just remove the length argument from the callback, that way there
is no confusion whatsoever and all of these use-after-free cases get
fixed as a side effect.
Based upon a patch by Eric Dumazet and his suggestion to audit this
issue tree-wide.

When tipc_conn_sendmsg() calls tipc_conn_lookup() to query a
connection instance, its reference count value is increased if
it's found. But subsequently if it's found that the connection is
closed, the work of sending message is not queued into its server
send workqueue, and the connection reference count is not decreased.
This will cause a reference count leak. To reproduce this problem,
an application would need to open and closes topology server
connections with high intensity.
We fix this by immediately decrementing the connection reference
count if a send fails due to the connection being closed.

Currently connection shutdown callback function is called when
connection instance is released in tipc_conn_kref_release(), and
receiving packets and sending packets are running in different
threads. Even if connection is closed by the thread of receiving
packets, its shutdown callback may not be called immediately as
the connection reference count is non-zero at that moment. So,
although the connection is shut down by the thread of receiving
packets, the thread of sending packets doesn't know it. Before
its shutdown callback is invoked to tell the sending thread its
connection has been closed, the sending thread may deliver
messages by tipc_conn_sendmsg(), this is why the following error
information appears:
"Sending subscription event failed, no memory"
To eliminate it, allow connection shutdown callback function to
be called before connection id is removed in tipc_close_conn(),
which makes the sending thread know the truth in time that its
socket is closed so that it doesn't send message to it. We also
remove the "Sending XXX failed..." error reporting for topology
and config services.

When tipc module is inserted, many tipc components are initialized
one by one. During the initialization period, if one of them is
failed, tipc_core_stop() will be called to stop all components
whatever corresponding components are created or not. To avoid to
release uncreated ones, relevant components have to add necessary
enabled flags indicating whether they are created or not.
But in the initialization stage, if one component is unsuccessfully
created, we will just destroy successfully created components before
the failed component instead of all components. All enabled flags
defined in components, in turn, become redundant. Additionally it's
also unnecessary to identify whether table.types is NULL in
tipc_nametbl_stop() because name stable has been definitely created
successfully when tipc_nametbl_stop() is called.

We have the following call chain:
tipc_core_start()
ret = tipc_subscr_start()
ret = tipc_server_start(){
server->enabled = 1;
ret = tipc_open_listening_sock()
}
I.e., the server->enabled flag is unconditionally set to 1, whatever
the return value of tipc_open_listening_sock().
This causes a crash when tipc_core_start() tries to clean up
resources after a failed initialization:
if (ret == failed)
tipc_subscr_stop()
tipc_server_stop(){
if (server->enabled)
tipc_close_conn(){
NULL reference of con->sock-sk
OOPS!
}
}
To avoid this, tipc_server_start() should only set server->enabled
to 1 in case of a succesful socket creation. In case of failure, it
should release all allocated resources before returning.
Problem introduced in commit c5fa7b3cf3cb22e4ac60485fc2dc187fe012910f
("tipc: introduce new TIPC server infrastructure") in v3.11-rc1.
Note that it won't be seen often; it takes a module load under memory
constrained conditions in order to trigger the failure condition.

TIPC has two internal servers, one providing a subscription
service for topology events, and another providing the
configuration interface. These servers have previously been running
in BH context, accessing the TIPC-port (aka native) API directly.
Apart from these servers, even the TIPC socket implementation is
partially built on this API.
As this API may simultaneously be called via different paths and in
different contexts, a complex and costly lock policiy is required
in order to protect TIPC internal resources.
To eliminate the need for this complex lock policiy, we introduce
a new, generic service API that uses kernel sockets for message
passing instead of the native API. Once the toplogy and configuration
servers are converted to use this new service, all code pertaining
to the native API can be removed. This entails a significant
reduction in code amount and complexity, and opens up for a complete
rework of the locking policy in TIPC.
The new service also solves another problem:
As the current topology server works in BH context, it cannot easily
be blocked when sending of events fails due to congestion. In such
cases events may have to be silently dropped, something that is
unacceptable. Therefore, the new service keeps a dedicated outbound
queue receiving messages from BH context. Once messages are
inserted into this queue, we will immediately schedule a work from a
special workqueue. This way, messages/events from the topology server
are in reality sent in process context, and the server can block
if necessary.
Analogously, there is a new workqueue for receiving messages. Once a
notification about an arriving message is received in BH context, we
schedule a work from the receive workqueue to do the job of
receiving the message in process context.
As both sending and receive messages are now finished in processes,
subscribed events cannot be dropped any more.
As of this commit, this new server infrastructure is built, but
not actually yet called by the existing TIPC code, but since the
conversion changes required in order to use it are significant,
the addition is kept here as a separate commit.
