[0]\n\ntipc_topsrv_stop() iterates tipc_net(net)->topsrv->conn_idr and calls\ntipc_conn_close() for each tipc_conn.\n\nThe problem is that tipc_conn_close() is called after releasing the\nIDR lock.\n\nAt the same time, there might be tipc_conn_recv_work() running and it\ncould call tipc_conn_close() for the same tipc_conn and release its\nlast ->kref.\n\nOnce we release the IDR lock in tipc_topsrv_stop(), there is no\nguarantee that the tipc_conn is alive.\n\nLet's hold the ref before releasing the lock and put the ref after\ntipc_conn_close() in tipc_topsrv_stop().\n\n[0]:\nBUG:
