Tetsuo Handa 2a63866c8b tipc: fix shutdown() of connectionless socket
syzbot is reporting hung task at nbd_ioctl() [1], for there are two
problems regarding TIPC's connectionless socket's shutdown() operation.

----------
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <linux/nbd.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        const int fd = open("/dev/nbd0", 3);
        alarm(5);
        ioctl(fd, NBD_SET_SOCK, socket(PF_TIPC, SOCK_DGRAM, 0));
        ioctl(fd, NBD_DO_IT, 0); /* To be interrupted by SIGALRM. */
        return 0;
}
----------

One problem is that wait_for_completion() from flush_workqueue() from
nbd_start_device_ioctl() from nbd_ioctl() cannot be completed when
nbd_start_device_ioctl() received a signal at wait_event_interruptible(),
for tipc_shutdown() from kernel_sock_shutdown(SHUT_RDWR) from
nbd_mark_nsock_dead() from sock_shutdown() from nbd_start_device_ioctl()
is failing to wake up a WQ thread sleeping at wait_woken() from
tipc_wait_for_rcvmsg() from sock_recvmsg() from sock_xmit() from
nbd_read_stat() from recv_work() scheduled by nbd_start_device() from
nbd_start_device_ioctl(). Fix this problem by always invoking
sk->sk_state_change() (like inet_shutdown() does) when tipc_shutdown() is
called.

The other problem is that tipc_wait_for_rcvmsg() cannot return when
tipc_shutdown() is called, for tipc_shutdown() sets sk->sk_shutdown to
SEND_SHUTDOWN (despite "how" is SHUT_RDWR) while tipc_wait_for_rcvmsg()
needs sk->sk_shutdown set to RCV_SHUTDOWN or SHUTDOWN_MASK. Fix this
problem by setting sk->sk_shutdown to SHUTDOWN_MASK (like inet_shutdown()
does) when the socket is connectionless.

README

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
