Although we have never seen it happen, we have identified the
following problematic scenario when nodes are stopped and deleted:
CPU0: CPU1:
tipc_node_xxx() //ref == 1
tipc_node_put() //ref -> 0
tipc_node_find() // node still in table
tipc_node_delete()
list_del_rcu(n. list)
tipc_node_get() //ref -> 1, bad
kfree_rcu()
tipc_node_put() //ref to 0 again.
kfree_rcu() // BOOM!
We fix this by introducing use of the conditional kref_get_if_not_zero()
instead of kref_get() in the function tipc_node_find(). This eliminates
any risk of post-mortem access.
