tipc: fix kernel panic when enabling bearer
When enabling a bearer on a node, a kernel panic is observed:
[ 4.498085] RIP: 0010:tipc_mon_prep+0x4e/0x130 [tipc]
...
[ 4.520030] Call Trace:

The node in question is receiving activate messages in another
thread after changing bearer status to allow message sending/
receiving in current thread:
thread 1 | thread 2
-------- | --------
|
tipc_enable_bearer() |
test_and_set_bit_lock() |
tipc_bearer_xmit_skb() |
| tipc_l2_rcv_msg()
| tipc_rcv()
| __tipc_node_link_up()
| tipc_link_build_state_msg()
| tipc_link_build_proto_msg()
| tipc_mon_prep()
| {
| ...
| // null-pointer dereference
| u16 gen = mon->dom_gen;
| ...
| }
// Not being executed yet |
tipc_mon_create() |
{ |
... |
// allocate |
mon = kzalloc(); |
... |
} |
Monitoring pointer in thread 2 is dereferenced before monitoring data
is allocated in thread 1. This causes kernel panic.
This commit fixes it by allocating the monitoring data before enabling
the bearer to receive messages.
