Ying Xue fd849b7c41 tipc: fix a race condition of releasing subscriber object
No matter whether a request is inserted into workqueue as a work item
to cancel a subscription or to delete a subscription's subscriber
asynchronously, the work items may be executed in different workers.
As a result, it doesn't mean that one request which is raised prior to
another request is definitely handled before the latter. By contrast,
if the latter request is executed before the former request, below
error may happen:

In above scenario, the request of deleting subscriber was performed
earlier than the request of canceling a subscription although the
latter was issued before the former, which means tipc_subscrb_delete()
was called before tipc_subscrp_cancel(). As a result, when
tipc_subscrb_subscrp_delete() called by tipc_subscrp_cancel() was
executed to cancel a subscription, the subscription's subscriber
refcnt had been decreased to 1. After tipc_subscrp_delete() where
the subscriber was freed because its refcnt was decremented to zero,
but the subscriber's lock had to be released, as a consequence, panic
happened.

By contrast, if we increase subscriber's refcnt before
tipc_subscrb_subscrp_delete() is called in tipc_subscrp_cancel(),
the panic issue can be avoided.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
