Subject: [PATCH] smb: client: fix rlist race and missing initialization
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 17:44:46 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260911204446.1719356-1-pc@manguebit.org> (raw)
TCP_Server_Info.rlist is allocated via kzalloc which zeros both ->next
and ->prev to NULL instead of pointing to itself, making list_empty()
always return false and list_add() dereference a NULL ->prev pointer.
Also, cifs_signal_cifsd_for_reconnect() can be called concurrently
from multiple cifsd threads, allowing the same server's rlist node to
be added twice into the local list, corrupting it.
Fixes: df0e03a4fb94 ("smb: client: fix potential deadlock when reconnecting channels")
