tipc: fix nametbl deadlock at tipc_nametbl_unsubscribe

2017-12-25T13:23:39+00:00

[ Upstream commit 557d054c01da0337ca81de9e9d9206d57245b57e ]

Until now, tipc_nametbl_unsubscribe() is called at subscriptions
reference count cleanup. Usually the subscriptions cleanup is
called at subscription timeout or at subscription cancel or at
subscriber delete.

We have ignored the possibility of this being called from other
locations, which causes deadlock as we try to grab the
tn->nametbl_lock while holding it already.

from the refcount cleanup to the intended callers.

tipc: call tipc_rcv() only if bearer is up in tipc_udp_recv()

2017-12-16T15:25:46+00:00

[ Upstream commit c7799c067c2ae33e348508c8afec354f3257ff25 ]

Remove the second tipc_rcv() call in tipc_udp_recv(). We have just
checked that the bearer is not up, and calling tipc_rcv() with a bearer
that is not up leads to a TIPC div-by-zero crash in
tipc_node_calculate_timer(). The crash is rare in practice, but can
happen like this:

  We're enabling a bearer, but it's not yet up and fully initialized.
  At the same time we receive a discovery packet, and in tipc_udp_recv()
  we end up calling tipc_rcv() with the not-yet-initialized bearer,
  causing later the div-by-zero crash in tipc_node_calculate_timer().

Jon Maloy explains the impact of removing the second tipc_rcv() call:
  "link setup in the worst case will be delayed until the next arriving
   discovery messages, 1 sec later, and this is an acceptable delay."

As the tipc_rcv() call is removed, just leave the function via the
rcu_out label, so that we will kfree_skb().

tipc: fix memory leak in tipc_accept_from_sock()

[ Upstream commit a7d5f107b4978e08eeab599ee7449af34d034053 ]

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_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.

tipc: fix nametbl_lock soft lockup at module exit

2017-12-09T21:01:53+00:00

[ Upstream commit 9dc3abdd1f7ea524e8552e0a3ef01219892ed1f4 ]

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()
          << if (con->flags != CF_CONNECTED) we do conn_put(),
             triggering the cleanup as refcount=0. >>

                  tipc_subscrp_delete
                    tipc_nametbl_unsubscribe << Soft Lockup >>

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

tipc: use only positive error codes in messages

2017-10-12T09:51:23+00:00

[ Upstream commit aad06212d36cf34859428a0a279e5c14ee5c9e26 ]

In commit e3a77561e7d32 ("tipc: split up function tipc_msg_eval()"),
we have updated the function tipc_msg_lookup_dest() to set the error
codes to negative values at destination lookup failures. Thus when
the function sets the error code to -TIPC_ERR_NO_NAME, its inserted
into the 4 bit error field of the message header as 0xf instead of
TIPC_ERR_NO_NAME (1). The value 0xf is an unknown error code.

In this commit, we set only positive error code.

tipc: allocate user memory with GFP_KERNEL flag

2017-07-05T12:40:27+00:00

[ Upstream commit 57d5f64d83ab5b5a5118b1597386dd76eaf4340d ]

Until now, we allocate memory always with GFP_ATOMIC flag.
When the system is under memory pressure and a user tries to send,
the send fails due to low memory. However, the user application
can wait for free memory if we allocate it using GFP_KERNEL flag.

In this commit, we use allocate memory with GFP_KERNEL for all user
allocation.

net: tipc: Fix a sleep-in-atomic bug in tipc_msg_reverse

2017-07-05T12:40:14+00:00

[ Upstream commit 343eba69c6968190d8654b857aea952fed9a6749 ]

The kernel may sleep under a rcu read lock in tipc_msg_reverse, and the
function call path is:
tipc_l2_rcv_msg (acquire the lock by rcu_read_lock)
  tipc_rcv
    tipc_sk_rcv
      tipc_msg_reverse
        pskb_expand_head(GFP_KERNEL) --> may sleep
tipc_node_broadcast
  tipc_node_xmit_skb
    tipc_node_xmit
      tipc_sk_rcv
        tipc_msg_reverse
          pskb_expand_head(GFP_KERNEL) --> may sleep

To fix it, "GFP_KERNEL" is replaced with "GFP_ATOMIC".

tipc: fix nametbl_lock soft lockup at node/link events

2017-06-17T04:41:57+00:00

[ Upstream commit 93f955aad4bacee5acebad141d1a03cd51f27b4e ]

We trigger a soft lockup as we grab nametbl_lock twice if the node
has a pending node up/down or link up/down event while:
- we process an incoming named message in tipc_named_rcv() and
  perform an tipc_update_nametbl().
- we have pending backlog items in the name distributor queue
  during a nametable update using tipc_nametbl_publish() or
  tipc_nametbl_withdraw().

The following are the call chain associated:
tipc_named_rcv() Grabs nametbl_lock
   tipc_update_nametbl() (publish/withdraw)
     tipc_node_subscribe()/unsubscribe()
       tipc_node_write_unlock()
          << lockup occurs if an outstanding node/link event
             exits, as we grabs nametbl_lock again >>

tipc_nametbl_withdraw() Grab nametbl_lock
  tipc_named_process_backlog()
    tipc_update_nametbl()
      << rest as above >>

The function tipc_node_write_unlock(), in addition to releasing the
lock processes the outstanding node/link up/down events. To do this,
we need to grab the nametbl_lock again leading to the lockup.

In this commit we fix the soft lockup by introducing a fast variant of
node_unlock(), where we just release the lock. We adapt the
node_subscribe()/node_unsubscribe() to use the fast variants.
