Remove the second tipc_rcv() call in tipc_udp_recv(). We have just
checked that the bearer is not up, and calling tipc_rcv() with a bearer
that is not up leads to a TIPC div-by-zero crash in
tipc_node_calculate_timer(). The crash is rare in practice, but can
happen like this:

In my opinion, the real root cause of the issue is because we too early
set a not-yet-initialized bearer instance to ub->bearer through
rcu_assign_pointer(ub->bearer, b) in tipc_udp_enable(). Instead if we
assign the bearer pointer at the end of tipc_udp_enable() where the
bearer has been completed the initialization, the issue would be avoided.

Hi, sorry, I fail to see how that helps.

bearer->tolerance is only initialized in tipc_enable_bearer() after calling m->enable_media() ie. tipc_udp_enable().

So even if we do "rcu_assign_pointer(ub->bearer, b)" later in tipc_udp_enable(), bearer->tolerance will still be uninitialized, and the crash can happen.

BR,
Tommi

Thanks,

We're enabling a bearer, but it's not yet up and fully initialized.
At the same time we receive a discovery packet, and in tipc_udp_recv()
we end up calling tipc_rcv() with the not-yet-initialized bearer,
causing later the div-by-zero crash in tipc_node_calculate_timer().

Jon Maloy explains the impact of removing the second tipc_rcv() call:
"link setup in the worst case will be delayed until the next arriving
discovery messages, 1 sec later, and this is an acceptable delay."

As the tipc_rcv() call is removed, just leave the function via the
rcu_out label, so that we will kfree_skb().
