When a topology subscription is created, we may encounter (or KASAN
may provoke) a failure to create a corresponding service instance in
the binding table. Instead of letting the tipc_nametbl_subscribe()
report the failure back to the caller, the function just makes a warning
printout and returns, without incrementing the subscription reference
counter as expected by the caller.
This makes the caller believe that the subscription was successful, so
it will at a later moment try to unsubscribe the item. This involves
a sub_put() call. Since the reference counter never was incremented
in the first place, we get a premature delete of the subscription item,
followed by a "use-after-free" warning.
We fix this by adding a return value to tipc_nametbl_subscribe() and
make the caller aware of the failure to subscribe.
This bug seems to always have been around, but this fix only applies
back to the commit shown below. Given the low risk of this happening
we believe this to be sufficient.

When an item of struct tipc_subscription is created, we fail to
initialize the two lists aggregated into the struct. This has so far
never been a problem, since the items are just added to a root
object by list_add(), which does not require the addee list to be
pre-initialized. However, syzbot is provoking situations where this
addition fails, whereupon the attempted removal if the item from
the list causes a crash.
This problem seems to always have been around, despite that the code
for creating this object was rewritten in commit 242e82cc95 ("tipc:
collapse subscription creation functions"), which is still in net-next.
We fix this for that commit by initializing the two lists properly.

tipc_server inside the file server.c. This requires some code
adaptations in other files, but those are mostly minor.

Because of the requirement for total distribution transparency, users
send subscriptions and receive topology events in their own host format.
It is up to the topology server to determine this format and do the
correct conversions to and from its own host format when needed.
Until now, this has been handled in a rather non-transparent way inside
the topology server and subscriber code, leading to unnecessary
complexity when creating subscriptions and issuing events.
We now improve this situation by adding two new macros, tipc_sub_read()
and tipc_evt_write(). Both those functions calculate the need for
conversion internally before performing their respective operations.
Hence, all handling of such conversions become transparent to the rest
of the code.

The message transmission and reception in the topology server is more
generic than is currently necessary. By basing the funtionality on the
fact that we only send items of type struct tipc_event and always
receive items of struct tipc_subcr we can make several simplifications,
and also get rid of some unnecessary dynamic memory allocations.

It is unnecessary to keep two structures, struct tipc_conn and struct
tipc_subscriber, with a one-to-one relationship and still with different
life cycles. The fact that the two often run in different contexts, and
still may access each other via direct pointers constitutes an additional
hazard, something we have experienced at several occasions, and still
see happening.
We have identified at least two remaining problems that are easier to
fix if we simplify the topology server data structure somewhat.
- When there is a race between a subscription up/down event and a
timeout event, it is fully possible that the former might be delivered
after the latter, leading to confusion for the receiver.
- The function tipc_subcrp_timeout() is executing in interrupt context,
while the following call chain is at least theoretically possible:
tipc_subscrp_timeout()
tipc_subscrp_send_event()
tipc_conn_sendmsg()
conn_put()
tipc_conn_kref_release()
sock_release(sock)
I.e., we end up calling a function that might try to sleep in
interrupt context. To eliminate this, we need to ensure that the
tipc_conn structure and the socket, as well as the subscription
instances, only are deleted in work queue context, i.e., after the
timeout event really has been sent out.
We now remove this unnecessary complexity, by merging data and
functionality of the subscriber structure into struct tipc_conn
and the associated file server.c. We thereafter add a spinlock and
a new 'inactive' state to the subscription structure. Using those,
both problems described above can be easily solved.

SOCK_SEQPACKET.

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.

In above scenario, the request of deleting subscriber was performed
earlier than the request of canceling a subscription although the
latter was issued before the former, which means tipc_subscrb_delete()
was called before tipc_subscrp_cancel(). As a result, when
tipc_subscrb_subscrp_delete() called by tipc_subscrp_cancel() was
executed to cancel a subscription, the subscription's subscriber
refcnt had been decreased to 1. After tipc_subscrp_delete() where
the subscriber was freed because its refcnt was decremented to zero,
but the subscriber's lock had to be released, as a consequence, panic
happened.
By contrast, if we increase subscriber's refcnt before
tipc_subscrb_subscrp_delete() is called in tipc_subscrp_cancel(),
the panic issue can be avoided.

When a new subscription object is inserted into name_seq->subscriptions
list, it's under name_seq->lock protection; when a subscription is
deleted from the list, it's also under the same lock protection;
similarly, when accessing a subscription by going through subscriptions
list, the entire process is also protected by the name_seq->lock.
Therefore, if subscription refcount is increased before it's inserted
into subscriptions list, and its refcount is decreased after it's
deleted from the list, it will be unnecessary to hold refcount at all
before accessing subscription object which is obtained by going through
subscriptions list under name_seq->lock protection.

After a subscription object is created, it's inserted into its

similarly, before it's destroyed, it should be first removed from

Until now, the subscribers keep track of the subscriptions using
reference count at subscriber level. At subscription cancel or
subscriber delete, we delete the subscription only if the timer
was pending for the subscription. This approach is incorrect as:
1. del_timer() is not SMP safe, if on CPU0 the check for pending
timer returns true but CPU1 might schedule the timer callback
thereby deleting the subscription. Thus when CPU0 is scheduled,
it deletes an invalid subscription.
2. We export tipc_subscrp_report_overlap(), which accesses the
subscription pointer multiple times. Meanwhile the subscription
timer can expire thereby freeing the subscription and we might
continue to access the subscription pointer leading to memory
violations.
In this commit, we introduce subscription refcount to avoid deleting

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:

with timeout = TIPC_WAIT_FOREVER.
This can be improved by avoiding timer creation when the timeout
is set to TIPC_WAIT_FOREVER.
In this commit, we introduce a check to creates timers only
when timeout != TIPC_WAIT_FOREVER.

Until now, during subscription creation the mod_time() &
tipc_subscrb_get() are called after releasing the subscriber
spin lock.
In a SMP system when performing a subscription creation, if the
subscription timeout occurs simultaneously (the timer is
scheduled to run on another CPU) then the timer thread
might decrement the subscribers refcount before the create
thread increments the refcount.
This can be simulated by creating subscription with timeout=0 and
sometimes the timeout occurs before the create request is complete.
This leads to the following message:

Until now, while creating a subscription the subscriber lock
protects only the subscribers subscription list and not the
nametable. The call to tipc_nametbl_subscribe() is outside
the lock. However, at subscription timeout and cancel both
the subscribers subscription list and the nametable are
protected by the subscriber lock.
This asymmetric locking mechanism leads to the following problem:
In a SMP system, the timer can be fire on another core before
the create request is complete.
When the timer thread calls tipc_nametbl_unsubscribe() before create
thread calls tipc_nametbl_subscribe(), we get a nullptr exception.
This can be simulated by creating subscription with timeout=0 and
sometimes the timeout occurs before the create request is complete.

Until now, the subscribers endianness for a subscription
create/cancel request is determined as:
swap = !(s->filter & (TIPC_SUB_PORTS | TIPC_SUB_SERVICE))
The checks are performed only for port/service subscriptions.
The swap calculation is incorrect if the filter in the subscription
cancellation request is set to TIPC_SUB_CANCEL (it's a malformed
cancel request, as the corresponding subscription create filter
is missing).
Thus, the check if the request is for cancellation fails and the
request is treated as a subscription create request. The
subscription creation fails as the request is illegal, which
terminates this connection.
In this commit we determine the endianness by including
TIPC_SUB_CANCEL, which will set swap correctly and the
request is processed as a cancellation request.

This is followed by setting the timeout value in the timer if

For a subscription create request with a timeout value of

Currently subscriber's lock protects not only subscriber's subscription
list but also all subscriptions linked into the list. However, as all
members of subscription are never changed after they are initialized,
it's unnecessary for subscription to be protected under subscriber's
lock. If the lock is used to only protect subscriber's subscription
list, the adjustment not only makes the locking policy simpler, but
also helps to avoid a deadlock which may happen once creating a
subscription is failed.

At present subscriber's lock is used to protect the subscription list
of subscriber as well as subscriptions linked into the list. While one
or all subscriptions are deleted through iterating the list, the
subscriber's lock must be held. Meanwhile, as deletion of subscription
may happen in subscription timer's handler, the lock must be grabbed
in the function as well. When subscription's timer is terminated with
del_timer_sync() during above iteration, subscriber's lock has to be
temporarily released, otherwise, deadlock may occur. However, the
temporary release may cause the double free of a subscription as the
subscription is not disconnected from the subscription list.
Now if a reference counter is introduced to subscriber, subscription's
timer can be asynchronously stopped with del_timer(). As a result, the
issue is not only able to be fixed, but also relevant code is pretty
readable and understandable.

When a topology server accepts a connection request from its client,
it allocates a connection instance and a tipc_subscriber structure
object. The former is used to communicate with client, and the latter
is often treated as a subscriber which manages all subscription events
requested from a same client. When a topology server receives a request
of subscribing name services from a client through the connection, it
creates a tipc_subscription structure instance which is seen as a
subscription recording what name services are subscribed. In order to
manage all subscriptions from a same client, topology server links
them into the subscrp_list of the subscriber. So subscriber and
subscription completely represents different meanings respectively,
but function names associated with them make us so confused that we
are unable to easily tell which function is against subscriber and
which is to subscription. So we want to eliminate the confusion by
renaming them.

When a topology server subscriber is disconnected, the associated
connection id is set to zero. A check vs zero is then done in the
subscription timeout function to see if the subscriber have been
shut down. This is unnecessary, because all subscription timers
will be cancelled when a subscriber terminates. Setting the
connection id to zero is actually harmful because id zero is the
identity of the topology server listening socket, and can cause a
race that leads to this socket being closed instead.

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
