==================================================================

In the commit
d966ddcc3821 ("tipc: fix a deadlock when flushing scheduled work"),
the cancel_work_sync() function just to make sure ONLY the work
tipc_net_finalize_work() is executing/pending on any CPU completed before
tipc namespace is destroyed through tipc_exit_net(). But this function
is not guaranteed the work is the last queued. So, the destroyed instance
may be accessed in the work which will try to enqueue later.

In order to completely fix, we re-order the calling of cancel_work_sync()
to make sure the work tipc_net_finalize_work() was last queued and it
must be completed by calling cancel_work_sync().

This patch is to use "struct work_struct" for the finalize work queue
instead of "struct tipc_net_work", as it can get the "net" and "addr"
from tipc_net's other members and there is no need to add extra net
and addr in tipc_net by defining "struct tipc_net_work".

Note that it's safe to get net from tn-&gt;bcl as bcl is always released
after the finalize work queue is done.

On some host, a crash could be triggered simply by repeating these
commands several times:

  # modprobe tipc
  # tipc bearer enable media udp name UDP1 localip 127.0.0.1
  # rmmod tipc

  [] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffffc096bb00

  []  ? kthread+0x116/0x130
  []  ? kthread_flush_work_fn+0x10/0x10
  []  ? ret_from_fork+0x35/0x40

When removing the TIPC module, the UDP tunnel sock will be delayed to
release in a work queue as sock_release() can't be done in rtnl_lock().
If the work queue is schedule to run after the TIPC module is removed,
kernel will crash as the work queue function cleanup_beareri() code no
longer exists when trying to invoke it.

To fix it, this patch introduce a member wq_count in tipc_net to track
the numbers of work queues in schedule, and  wait and exit until all
work queues are done in tipc_exit_net().

In the commit fdeba99b1e58
("tipc: fix use-after-free in tipc_bcast_get_mode"), we're trying
to make sure the tipc_net_finalize_work work item finished if it
enqueued. But calling flush_scheduled_work() is not just affecting
above work item but either any scheduled work. This has turned out
to be overkill and caused to deadlock as syzbot reported:

======================================================

                               lock(pernet_ops_rwsem);
  lock((wq_completion)events);

 *** DEADLOCK ***
[...]

v1:
To fix the original issue, we replace above calling by introducing
a bit flag. When a namespace cleaned-up, bit flag is set to zero and:
- tipc_net_finalize functionial just does return immediately.
- tipc_net_finalize_work does not enqueue into the scheduled work queue.

v2:
Use cancel_work_sync() helper to make sure ONLY the
tipc_net_finalize_work() stopped before releasing bcbase object.

<title>tipc: fix ordering of tipc module init and exit routine</title>

<content type='text'>
In order to set/get/dump, the tipc uses the generic netlink
infrastructure. So, when tipc module is inserted, init function
calls genl_register_family().
After genl_register_family(), set/get/dump commands are immediately
allowed and these callbacks internally use the net_generic.
net_generic is allocated by register_pernet_device() but this
is called after genl_register_family() in the __init function.
So, these callbacks would use un-initialized net_generic.

Test commands:
    #SHELL1
    while :
    do
        modprobe tipc
        modprobe -rv tipc
    done

    #SHELL2
    while :
    do
        tipc link list
    done

<title>tipc: add back tipc prefix to log messages</title>

The tipc prefix for log messages generated by tipc was
removed in commit 07f6c4bc048a ("tipc: convert tipc reference
table to use generic rhashtable").

This is still a useful prefix so add it back.

<title>tipc: introduce TIPC encryption &amp; authentication</title>

<id>urn:sha1:fc1b6d6de2208774efd2a20bf0daddb02d18b1e0</id>

This commit offers an option to encrypt and authenticate all messaging,
including the neighbor discovery messages. The currently most advanced
algorithm supported is the AEAD AES-GCM (like IPSec or TLS). All
encryption/decryption is done at the bearer layer, just before leaving
or after entering TIPC.

Supported features:
- Encryption &amp; authentication of all TIPC messages (header + data);
- Two symmetric-key modes: Cluster and Per-node;
- Automatic key switching;
- Key-expired revoking (sequence number wrapped);
- Lock-free encryption/decryption (RCU);
- Asynchronous crypto, Intel AES-NI supported;
- Multiple cipher transforms;
- Logs &amp; statistics;

Two key modes:
- Cluster key mode: One single key is used for both TX &amp; RX in all
nodes in the cluster.
- Per-node key mode: Each nodes in the cluster has one specific TX key.
For RX, a node requires its peers' TX key to be able to decrypt the
messages from those peers.

Key setting from user-space is performed via netlink by a user program
(e.g. the iproute2 'tipc' tool).

Internal key state machine:

                                 Attach    Align(RX)
                                     +-+   +-+
                                     | V   | V
        +---------+      Attach     +---------+
        |  IDLE   |----------------&gt;| PENDING |(user = 0)
        +---------+                 +---------+
           A   A                   Switch|  A
           |   |                         |  |
           |   | Free(switch/revoked)    |  |
     (Free)|   +----------------------+  |  |Timeout
           |              (TX)        |  |  |(RX)
           |                          |  |  |
           |                          |  v  |
        +---------+      Switch     +---------+
        | PASSIVE |&lt;----------------| ACTIVE  |
        +---------+       (RX)      +---------+
        (user = 1)                  (user &gt;= 1)

The number of TFMs is 10 by default and can be changed via the procfs
'net/tipc/max_tfms'. At this moment, as for simplicity, this file is
also used to print the crypto statistics at runtime:

echo 0xfff1 &gt; /proc/sys/net/tipc/max_tfms

The patch defines a new TIPC version (v7) for the encryption message (-
backward compatibility as well). The message is basically encapsulated
as follows:

   +----------------------------------------------------------+
   | TIPCv7 encryption  | Original TIPCv2    | Authentication |
   | header             | packet (encrypted) | Tag            |
   +----------------------------------------------------------+

The throughput is about ~40% for small messages (compared with non-
encryption) and ~9% for large messages. With the support from hardware
crypto i.e. the Intel AES-NI CPU instructions, the throughput increases
upto ~85% for small messages and ~55% for large messages.

By default, the new feature is inactive (i.e. no encryption) until user
sets a key for TIPC. There is however also a new option - "TIPC_CRYPTO"
in the kernel configuration to enable/disable the new code when needed.

MAINTAINERS | add two new files 'crypto.h' &amp; 'crypto.c' in tipc
