Fix Version: 10.21.20.21
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 21
Component/s: Kernel
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tipc: wait and exit until all work queues are 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
[] Workqueue: events 0xffffffffc096bb00

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().
