4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Parthasarathy Bhuvaragan <parthasarathy.bhuvaragan@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit fc0adfc8fd18b61b6f7a3f28b429e134d6f3a008 ] Until now, the generic server framework maintains the connection id's per subscriber in server's conn_idr. At tipc_close_conn, we remove the connection id from the server list, but the connection is valid until we call the refcount cleanup. Hence we have a window where the server allocates the same connection to an new subscriber leading to inconsistent reference count. We have another refcount warning we grab the refcount in tipc_conn_lookup() for connections with flag with CF_CONNECTED not set. This usually occurs at shutdown when the we stop the topology server and withdraw TIPC_CFG_SRV publication thereby triggering a withdraw message to subscribers. In this commit, we: 1. remove the connection from the server list at recount cleanup. 2. grab the refcount for a connection only if CF_CONNECTED is set.
