When the TIPC module is unloaded, we have identified a race condition
that allows a node reference counter to go to zero and the node instance
being freed before the node timer is finished with accessing it. This
leads to occasional crashes, especially in multi-namespace environments.
The scenario goes as follows:
CPU0:(node_stop) CPU1:(node_timeout) // ref == 2
1: if(!mod_timer())
2: if (del_timer())
3: tipc_node_put() // ref -> 1
4: tipc_node_put() // ref -> 0
5: kfree_rcu(node);
6: tipc_node_get(node)
7: // BOOM!
We now clean up this functionality as follows:
1) We remove the node pointer from the node lookup table before we
attempt deactivating the timer. This way, we reduce the risk that
tipc_node_find() may obtain a valid pointer to an instance marked
for deletion; a harmless but undesirable situation.
2) We use del_timer_sync() instead of del_timer() to safely deactivate
the node timer without any risk that it might be reactivated by the
timeout handler. There is no risk of deadlock here, since the two
functions never touch the same spinlocks.
3: We remove a pointless tipc_node_get() + tipc_node_put() from the
timeout handler.
