[ Upstream commit d2fbdf76b85bcdfe57b8ef2ba09d20e8ada79abd ]

tipc_msg_create() can return a NULL skb and if so, we shouldn't try to
call tipc_node_xmit_skb() on it.

I feel like we should maybe return -ENOMEM or -ENOBUFS, but I'm not sure
userspace is equipped to handle that. Anyway, this is better than a GPF
and looks somewhat consistent with other tipc_msg_create() callers.

<title>tipc: move linearization of buffers to generic code</title>

commit c7cad0d6f70cd4ce8644ffe528a4df1cdc2e77f5 upstream.

In commit 5cbb28a4bf65c7e4 ("tipc: linearize arriving NAME_DISTR
and LINK_PROTO buffers") we added linearization of NAME_DISTRIBUTOR,
LINK_PROTOCOL/RESET and LINK_PROTOCOL/ACTIVATE to the function
tipc_udp_recv(). The location of the change was selected in order
to make the commit easily appliable to 'net' and 'stable'.

We now move this linearization to where it should be done, in the
functions tipc_named_rcv() and tipc_link_proto_rcv() respectively.

[ Upstream commit 55e77a3e8297581c919b45adcc4d0815b69afa84 ]

Fix incorrect use of nla_strlcpy() where the first NLA_HDRLEN bytes
of the link name where left out.

Making the output of tipc-config -ls look something like:
Link statistics:
dcast-link
1:data0-1.1.2:data0
1:data0-1.1.3:data0

Also, for the record, the patch that introduce this regression
claims "Sending the whole object out can cause a leak". Which isn't
very likely as this is a compat layer, where the data we are parsing
is generated by us and we know the string to be NULL terminated. But
you can of course never be to secure.

[ Upstream commit 4de13d7ed6ffdcbb34317acaa9236f121176f5f8 ]

commit 4d5cfcba2f6e ('tipc: fix connection abort during subscription
cancel'), removes the check for a valid subscription before calling
tipc_nametbl_subscribe().

This will lead to a nullptr exception when we process a
subscription cancel request. For a cancel request, a null
subscription is passed to tipc_nametbl_subscribe() resulting
in exception.

In this commit, we call tipc_nametbl_subscribe() only for
a valid subscription.

[ Upstream commit 45e093ae2830cd1264677d47ff9a95a71f5d9f9c ]

Make sure the socket for which the user is listing publication exists
before parsing the socket netlink attributes.

Prior to this patch a call without any socket caused a NULL pointer
dereference in tipc_nl_publ_dump().

[ Upstream commit f214fc402967e1bc94ad7f39faa03db5813d6849 ]

reverts commit 94153e36e709e ("tipc: use existing sk_write_queue for
outgoing packet chain")

In Commit 94153e36e709e, we assume that we fill &amp; empty the socket's
sk_write_queue within the same lock_sock() session.

This is not true if the link is congested. During congestion, the
socket lock is released while we wait for the congestion to cease.
This implementation causes a nullptr exception, if the user space
program has several threads accessing the same socket descriptor.

Consider two threads of the same program performing the following:
     Thread1                                  Thread2
--------------------                    ----------------------
Enter tipc_sendmsg()                    Enter tipc_sendmsg()
lock_sock()                             lock_sock()
Enter tipc_link_xmit(), ret=ELINKCONG   spin on socket lock..
sk_wait_event()                             :
release_sock()                          grab socket lock
    :                                   Enter tipc_link_xmit(), ret=0
    :                                   release_sock()
Wakeup after congestion
lock_sock()
skb = skb_peek(pktchain);
!! TIPC_SKB_CB(skb)-&gt;wakeup_pending = tsk-&gt;link_cong;

In this case, the second thread transmits the buffers belonging to
both thread1 and thread2 successfully. When the first thread wakeup
after the congestion it assumes that the pktchain is intact and
operates on the skb's in it, which leads to the following exception:

<title>tipc: fix premature addition of node to lookup table</title>

[ Upstream commit d5c91fb72f1652ea3026925240a0998a42ddb16b ]

In commit 5266698661401a ("tipc: let broadcast packet reception
use new link receive function") we introduced a new per-node
broadcast reception link instance. This link is created at the
moment the node itself is created. Unfortunately, the allocation
is done after the node instance has already been added to the node
lookup hash table. This creates a potential race condition, where
arriving broadcast packets are able to find and access the node
before it has been fully initialized, and before the above mentioned
link has been created. The result is occasional crashes in the function
tipc_bcast_rcv(), which is trying to access the not-yet existing link.

We fix this by deferring the addition of the node instance until after
it has been fully initialized in the function tipc_node_create().
