The following memory leak can occur, as identified during code inspection:
tipc_node_xmit()
tipc_link_xmit(le->link, list, &xmitq)
...
__skb_queue_purge(list);
return -ENOBUFS;
tipc_link_xmit() purges list but does not purge xmitq. tipc_node_xmit() does not
purge xmitq either, resulting in a memory leak.
Fix this issue by purging xmitq in tipc_node_xmit() when tipc_link_xmit()
returns -ENOBUFS.
Fixes: 4952cd3e7b47 ("tipc: refactor node xmit and fix memory leaks")

The TIPC name table uses the cluster_scope list to store the
following publications:
- User publications with cluster scope from the local node:
__tipc_bind()
tipc_sk_publish()
tipc_nametbl_publish()
tipc_named_publish()
list_add_tail(&p->binding_node, &nt->cluster_scope)
list_add(&p->binding_sock, &tsk->publications)
- Protocol publications of type TIPC_NODE_STATE (0) with cluster
scope from the local node:
tipc_net_finalize()
tipc_nametbl_publish()
tipc_named_publish()
list_add_tail(&p->binding_node, &nt->cluster_scope)
When a network namespace is destroyed:
- User publications with cluster scope from the local node are removed
through the following call path:
tipc_release()
tipc_sk_withdraw()
list_for_each_entry_safe(p, safe, &tsk->publications, binding_sock)
tipc_nametbl_withdraw()
tipc_named_withdraw()
list_del(&p->binding_node)
- However, code inspection revealed that tipc_service_delete() does not
remove self-node TIPC_NODE_STATE publication from the cluster_scope list,
leaving dangling list entries:
tipc_service_delete()
list_for_each_entry_safe()
tipc_service_remove_publ()
kfree_rcu(p, rcu);
Fix this by calling list_del() before freeing TIPC_NODE_STATE
publications in tipc_service_delete().

The TIPC name table uses rc_dests to track the number of nodes
available for replicast transmission. This counter is used to decide
whether to use broadcast or replicast links when sending bulk messages.
However, code inspection revealed a race between tipc_net_finalize(),
which initializes rc_dests, and tipc_named_node_up(), which
increments it, as illustrated below:
Thread 1 (tipc_net_finalize) | Thread 2 (tipc_named_node_up)
| ...
| nt->rc_dests++;
... |
tipc_named_reinit() |
nt->rc_dests = 0; |
If tipc_named_reinit() (Thread 1) executes after nt->rc_dests++
(Thread 2), the counter will be reset to zero. As a result, two
unexpected behaviors can occur:
1. User publications are sent via the broadcast link instead of the
replicast link:
tipc_sk_publish()
tipc_nametbl_publish()
tipc_node_broadcast()
if (!rc_dests && tipc_bcast_get_mode(net) != BCLINK_MODE_RCAST)
tipc_bcast_xmit()
2. nt->rc_dests can underflow to -1 when the node goes down. As a
result, publications are sent via the replicast link even though no
replicast nodes are available:
tipc_publ_notify()
nt->rc_dests--;
Fix this issue by moving initialization of nt->rc_dests from
tipc_named_reinit() to tipc_nametbl_init().

When a new TIPC link comes up, a protocol publication of type
TIPC_LINK_STATE (0) is created and inserted into the name table
through the following call path:
tipc_node_write_unlock()
tipc_nametbl_publish()
tipc_nametbl_insert_publ()
User applications subscribing to this TIPC_LINK_STATE event will
be notified when the link comes up. However, code inspection
revealed that if tipc_nametbl_insert_publ() fails due to a memory
allocation error, the TIPC_LINK_STATE publication is not inserted
into the name table. As a result, user applications are never
notified of the link-up event.
Fix this issue by checking the error code returned through the
output parameter of tipc_nametbl_publish(). If the error indicates
a memory allocation failure, reset the link so that the
TIPC_LINK_STATE publication can be retried.

The following deadlock can occur, as observed during code inspection:
tipc_named_node_up()
read_lock_bh(&nt->cluster_scope_lock) <-- acquire read lock
named_distribute()
tipc_node_xmit()
tipc_node_link_down()
tipc_node_write_unlock()
tipc_nametbl_withdraw()
spin_lock_bh(&tn->nametbl_lock)
tipc_named_withdraw()
write_lock_bh(&nt->cluster_scope_lock) <-- acquire write lock
Fix this issue by:
- Removing cluster_scope_lock, which protects the name table's
cluster_scope list. Use nametbl_lock instead to protect the list
against races when multiple threads concurrently call
tipc_named_publish(), tipc_named_withdraw(), and
tipc_named_node_up().
- Introducing a new function, tipc_node_distribute(), which is similar
to tipc_node_xmit() but does not call tipc_node_link_down().
Both functions call the newly introduced tipc_node_build_list(),
which clones a list of messages in sequence or delivers the list to
the peer namespace. When tipc_named_node_up() returns -ENOBUFS,
tipc_node_link_down() is called from tipc_node_write_unlock()
instead.

Syzbot reports NULL pointer dereference in named_distribute():

tipc_l2_rcv_msg+0x2d9/0x470 net/tipc/bearer.c:671
The root cause is racing between tipc_net_finalize() and
named_distribute() as follows:
Thread 1 (tipc_net_finalize) | Thread 2 (named_distribute)
-----------------------------|-----------------------------
| ...
| list_for_each_entry(publ, pls, binding_node) {
| ...
| __skb_queue_tail(list, skb);
| ...
| }
| ...
| hdr = buf_msg(skb_peek_tail(list));
... |
tipc_nametbl_publish(); |
If 'tipc_nametbl_publish()' (Thread 1) executes after 'named_distribute()'
(Thread 2), list will be empty. As a result, NULL is passed to 'buf_msg()',
leading to a NULL pointer dereference.
Fix the this issue by checking for the node's self-address publication on
either node-up or node-timeout event. If the publication does not exist, insert
it into the name table and publish it to the other nodes.
