Subject: [PATCH-net v2] tipc: fix oops when creating server socket fails

From: Ying Xue <ying.xue@...driver.com>

When creation of TIPC internal server socket fails,
we get an oops with the following dump:

We have the following call chain:

tipc_core_start()
    ret = tipc_subscr_start()
        ret = tipc_server_start(){
                  server->enabled = 1;
                  ret = tipc_open_listening_sock()
              }

I.e., the server->enabled flag is unconditionally set to 1, whatever
the return value of tipc_open_listening_sock().

This causes a crash when tipc_core_start() tries to clean up
resources after a failed initialization:

    if (ret == failed)
        tipc_subscr_stop()
            tipc_server_stop(){
                if (server->enabled)
                    tipc_close_conn(){
                        NULL reference of con->sock-sk
                        OOPS!
                }
            }

To avoid this, tipc_server_start() should only set server->enabled
to 1 in case of a succesful socket creation. In case of failure, it
should release all allocated resources before returning.

Problem introduced in commit c5fa7b3cf3cb22e4ac60485fc2dc187fe012910f
("tipc: introduce new TIPC server infrastructure") in v3.11-rc1.
Note that it won't be seen often; it takes a module load under memory
constrained conditions in order to trigger the failure condition.
