[ Upstream commit 4c887aa65d38633885010277f3482400681be719 ]

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.

When a new topology server is launched in a new namespace, its
listening socket is inserted into the "init ns" namespace's socket
hash table rather than the one owned by the new namespace. Although
the socket's namespace is forcedly changed to the new namespace later,
the socket is still stored in the socket hash table of "init ns"
namespace. When a client created in the new namespace connects
its own topology server, the connection is failed as its server's
socket could not be found from its own namespace's socket table.

If __sock_create() instead of original sock_create_kern() is used
to create the server's socket through specifying an expected namesapce,
the socket will be inserted into the specified namespace's socket
table, thereby avoiding to the topology server broken issue.

<title>tipc: withdraw tipc topology server name when namespace is deleted</title>

The TIPC topology server is a per namespace service associated with the
tipc name {1, 1}. When a namespace is deleted, that name must be withdrawn
before we call sk_release_kernel because the kernel socket release is
done in init_net and trying to withdraw a TIPC name published in another
namespace will fail with an error as:

[  170.093264] Unable to remove local publication
[  170.093264] (type=1, lower=1, ref=2184244004, key=2184244005)

We fix this by breaking the association between the topology server name
and socket before calling sk_release_kernel.

<content type='text'>
When the TIPC module is loaded, we launch a topology server in kernel
space, which in its turn is creating TIPC sockets for communication
with topology server users. Because both the socket's creator and
provider reside in the same module, it is necessary that the TIPC
module's reference count remains zero after the server is started and
the socket created; otherwise it becomes impossible to perform "rmmod"
even on an idle module.

Currently, we achieve this by defining a separate "tipc_proto_kern"
protocol struct, that is used only for kernel space socket allocations.
This structure has the "owner" field set to NULL, which restricts the
module reference count from being be bumped when sk_alloc() for local
sockets is called. Furthermore, we have defined three kernel-specific
functions, tipc_sock_create_local(), tipc_sock_release_local() and
tipc_sock_accept_local(), to avoid the module counter being modified
when module local sockets are created or deleted. This has worked well
until we introduced name space support.

However, after name space support was introduced, we have observed that
a reference count leak occurs, because the netns counter is not
decremented in tipc_sock_delete_local().

This commit remedies this problem. But instead of just modifying
tipc_sock_delete_local(), we eliminate the whole parallel socket
handling infrastructure, and start using the regular sk_create_kern(),
kernel_accept() and sk_release_kernel() calls. Since those functions
manipulate the module counter, we must now compensate for that by
explicitly decrementing the counter after module local sockets are
created, and increment it just before calling sk_release_kernel().

TIPC establishes one subscriber server which allows users to subscribe
their interesting name service status. After tipc supports namespace,
one dedicated tipc stack instance is created for each namespace, and
each instance can be deemed as one independent TIPC node. As a result,
subscriber server must be built for each namespace.

TIPC name table is used to store the mapping relationship between
TIPC service name and socket port ID. When tipc supports namespace,
it allows users to publish service names only owned by a certain
namespace. Therefore, every namespace must have its private name
table to prevent service names published to one namespace from being
contaminated by other service names in another namespace. Therefore,
The name table global variable (ie, nametbl) and its lock must be
moved to tipc_net structure, and a parameter of namespace must be
added for necessary functions so that they can obtain name table
variable defined in tipc_net structure.

<title>net: Fix use after free by removing length arg from sk_data_ready callbacks.</title>

Several spots in the kernel perform a sequence like:

	skb_queue_tail(&amp;sk-&gt;s_receive_queue, skb);
	sk-&gt;sk_data_ready(sk, skb-&gt;len);

But at the moment we place the SKB onto the socket receive queue it
can be consumed and freed up.  So this skb-&gt;len access is potentially
to freed up memory.

Furthermore, the skb-&gt;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.
