    tipc: Fix missing RTNL lock protection during setting link properties · ed4ffdfe
    Ying Xue authored
    
    
    Currently when user changes link properties, TIPC first checks if
    user's command message contains media name or bearer name through
    tipc_media_find() or tipc_bearer_find() which is protected by RTNL
    lock. But when tipc_nl_compat_link_set() conducts the checking with
    the two functions, it doesn't hold RTNL lock at all, as a result,
    the following complaints were reported:
    
    audit: type=1400 audit(1514679888.244:9): avc:  denied  { write } for
    pid=3194 comm="syzkaller021477" path="socket:[11143]" dev="sockfs"

    In order to correct the mistake, __tipc_nl_compat_doit() has been
    protected by RTNL lock, which means the whole operation of setting
    bearer/media properties is under RTNL protection.
