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.
