Subject: [PATCH v6] cifs: client: stage smb3_reconfigure() updates and restore ctx on failure
Date: Wed, 13 May 2026 22:26:22 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260513132622.2640103-1-charsyam@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260501060907.3859641-1-charsyam@gmail.com>

smb3_reconfigure() moves strings out of cifs_sb->ctx before the
multichannel update, so a later failure can leave the live context
with NULL strings or options that do not match the session.

Stage the new ctx separately, commit it only on success, and restore
the snapshot on failure. Also make smb3_sync_session_ctx_passwords()
all-or-nothing.

Commit session passwords before channel updates so newly added channels
authenticate with the staged credentials.

Fixes: ef529f655a2c ("cifs: client: allow changing multichannel mount options on remount")

v6: (feedback from Henrique Carvalho)
 - Drop the update_password / update_password2 booleans in
   smb3_sync_session_ctx_passwords(); commit when the local pointer
   itself is non-NULL.
 - Rename the failure label restore_new_ctx -> cleanup_new_ctx, since
   new_ctx is cleaned up (not restored) on the staged-failure path.
 - Shorten the commit message further per review.

v5: (feedback from Henrique Carvalho)
 - Drop mchan_rc / scale_busy; the early failure paths now restore
   cifs_sb->ctx from a snapshot taken on entry.
 - Build new_ctx separately and replace cifs_sb->ctx only on success.
 - Make smb3_sync_session_ctx_passwords() all-or-nothing: allocate
   both copies first, commit only when both succeed.
 - Switch smb3_sync_ses_chan_max() max_channels parameter to size_t
   to match struct cifs_ses::chan_max.
 - Shorten the commit message and follow nearby CIFS log style.
