Summary
tipc: restrict socket queue dumps in enqueue tracepoints
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tipc: restrict socket queue dumps in enqueue tracepoints

tipcskenqueue() runs with sk->sklock.slock held while the socket is owned by user context. The spinlock protects the backlog queue in this path, but it does not serialize against the socket owner consuming or purging skreceive_queue.

The TIPCDUMPALL tracepoints in tipcskenqueue() also dump skreceivequeue and can therefore dereference skbs that the socket owner has already dequeued or freed. Restrict these dumps to TIPCDUMPSK_BKLGQ, which matches the queue protected by the held spinlock.

Keep the change limited to the enqueue path, where the unsafe queue dump is reachable while the socket is owned by user context.
