[ Upstream commit 0e5d56c64afcd6fd2d132ea972605b66f8a7d3c4 ]
A crash was reported by Wei Chen:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000018
RIP: 0010:tipc_conn_close+0x12/0x100
Call Trace:
tipc_topsrv_exit_net+0x139/0x320
ops_exit_list.isra.9+0x49/0x80
cleanup_net+0x31a/0x540
process_one_work+0x3fa/0x9f0
worker_thread+0x42/0x5c0
It was caused by !con->sock in tipc_conn_close(). In tipc_topsrv_accept(),
con is allocated in conn_idr then its sock is set:
con = tipc_conn_alloc();
... <----[1]
con->sock = newsock;
If tipc_conn_close() is called in anytime of [1], the null-pointer-def
is triggered by con->sock->sk due to con->sock is not yet set.
This patch fixes it by moving the con->sock setting to tipc_conn_alloc()
under s->idr_lock. So that con->sock can never be NULL when getting the
con from s->conn_idr. It will be also safer to move con->server and flag
CF_CONNECTED setting under s->idr_lock, as they should all be set before
tipc_conn_alloc() is called.
Fixes: c5fa7b3cf3cb ("tipc: introduce new TIPC server infrastructure")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
