Xin Long e87a077d09 tipc: set con sock in tipc_conn_alloc
[ Upstream commit 0e5d56c64a ]

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.

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.
