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.
