tipc: fix nametbl_lock soft lockup at module exit
Commit 333f7962 ("tipc: fix a race condition leading to subscriber refcnt bug") reveals a soft lockup while acquiring nametbl_lock. Before commit 333f7962, we call tipc_conn_shutdown() from tipc_close_conn() in the context of tipc_topsrv_stop(). In that context, we are allowed to grab the nametbl_lock. Commit 333f7962, moved tipc_conn_release (renamed from tipc_conn_shutdown) to the connection refcount cleanup. This allows either tipc_nametbl_withdraw() or tipc_topsrv_stop() to the cleanup. Since tipc_exit_net() first calls tipc_topsrv_stop() and then tipc_nametble_withdraw() increases the chances for the later to perform the connection cleanup. The soft lockup occurs in the call chain of tipc_nametbl_withdraw(), when it performs the tipc_conn_kref_release() as it tries to grab nametbl_lock again while holding it already. tipc_nametbl_withdraw() grabs nametbl_lock tipc_nametbl_remove_publ() tipc_subscrp_report_overlap() tipc_subscrp_send_event() tipc_conn_sendmsg() << if (con->flags != CF_CONNECTED) we do conn_put(), triggering the cleanup as refcount=0. >> tipc_conn_kref_release tipc_sock_release tipc_conn_release tipc_subscrb_delete tipc_subscrp_delete tipc_nametbl_unsubscribe << Soft Lockup >> The previous changes in this series fixes the race conditions fixed by commit 333f7962. Hence we can now revert the commit.
