One extra conn_get() is needed in tipc_conn_alloc(), as after
tipc_conn_alloc() is called, tipc_conn_close() may free this
con before deferencing it in tipc_topsrv_accept():
tipc_conn_alloc();
newsk = newsock->sk;
<---- tipc_conn_close();
write_lock_bh(&sk->sk_callback_lock);
newsk->sk_data_ready = tipc_conn_data_ready;
Then an uaf issue can be triggered:
BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in tipc_topsrv_accept+0x1e7/0x370 [tipc]
Call Trace:

This patch fixes it by holding it in tipc_conn_alloc(), then after
all accessing in tipc_topsrv_accept() releasing it. Note when does
this in tipc_topsrv_kern_subscr(), as tipc_conn_rcv_sub() returns
0 or -1 only, we don't need to check for "> 0".

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.
