We have identified a race condition during reception of socket
events and messages in the topology server.
- The function tipc_close_conn() is releasing the corresponding
struct tipc_subscriber instance without considering that there
may still be items in the receive work queue. When those are
scheduled, in the function tipc_receive_from_work(), they are
using the subscriber pointer stored in struct tipc_conn, without
first checking if this is valid or not. This will sometimes
lead to crashes, as the next call of tipc_conn_recvmsg() will
access the now deleted item.
We fix this by making the usage of this pointer conditional on
whether the connection is active or not. I.e., we check the condition
test_bit(CF_CONNECTED) before making the call tipc_conn_recvmsg().
- Since the two functions may be running on different cores, the
condition test described above is not enough. tipc_close_conn()
may come in between and delete the subscriber item after the condition
test is done, but before tipc_conn_recv_msg() is finished. This
happens less frequently than the problem described above, but leads
to the same symptoms.
We fix this by using the existing sk_callback_lock for mutual
exclusion in the two functions. In addition, we have to move
a call to tipc_conn_terminate() outside the mentioned lock to
avoid deadlock.

When a member joins a group, it also indicates a binding scope. This
makes it possible to create both node local groups, invisible to other
nodes, as well as cluster global groups, visible everywhere.
In order to avoid that different members end up having permanently
differing views of group size and memberhip, we must inhibit locally
and globally bound members from joining the same group.
We do this by using the binding scope as an additional separator between
groups. I.e., a member must ignore all membership events from sockets
using a different scope than itself, and all lookups for message
destinations must require an exact match between the message's lookup
scope and the potential target's binding scope.
Apart from making it possible to create local groups using the same
identity on different nodes, a side effect of this is that it now also
becomes possible to create a cluster global group with the same identity
across the same nodes, without interfering with the local groups.

Currently, when a user is subscribing for binding table publications,
he will receive a PUBLISH event for all already existing matching items
in the binding table.
However, a group socket making a subscriptions doesn't need this initial
status update from the binding table, because it has already scanned it
during the join operation. Worse, the multiplicatory effect of issuing
mutual events for dozens or hundreds group members within a short time
frame put a heavy load on the topology server, with the end result that
scale out operations on a big group tend to take much longer than needed.
We now add a new filter option, TIPC_SUB_NO_STATUS, for topology server
subscriptions, so that this initial avalanche of events is suppressed.
This change, along with the previous commit, significantly improves the
range and speed of group scale out operations.
We keep the new option internal for the tipc driver, at least for now.

Commit 333f796235 ("tipc: fix a race condition leading to
subscriber refcnt bug") reveals a soft lockup while acquiring
nametbl_lock.
Before commit 333f796235, 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 333f796235, 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(),

tipc_sock_release
tipc_conn_release

The previous changes in this series fixes the race conditions fixed
by commit 333f796235. Hence we can now revert the commit.

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.

Until now, the requests sent to topology server are queued
to a workqueue by the generic server framework.
These messages are processed by worker threads and trigger the
registered callbacks.
To reduce latency on uniprocessor systems, explicit rescheduling
is performed using cond_resched() after MAX_RECV_MSG_COUNT(25)
messages.
This implementation on SMP systems leads to an subscriber refcnt
error as described below:
When a worker thread yields by calling cond_resched() in a SMP
system, a new worker is created on another CPU to process the
pending workitem. Sometimes the sleeping thread wakes up before
the new thread finishes execution.
This breaks the assumption on ordering and being single threaded.
The fault is more frequent when MAX_RECV_MSG_COUNT is lowered.
If the first thread was processing subscription create and the
second thread processing close(), the close request will free
the subscriber and the create request oops as follows:

hash table rather than the one owned by the new namespace. Although

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

If __sock_create() instead of original sock_create_kern() is used

the socket will be inserted into the specified namespace's socket

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().

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.

When tipc_conn_sendmsg() calls tipc_conn_lookup() to query a
connection instance, its reference count value is increased if

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,

connections with high intensity.
We fix this by immediately decrementing the connection reference
count if a send fails due to the connection being closed.

the connection reference count is non-zero at that moment. So,
although the connection is shut down by the thread of receiving

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 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.
