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.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
