Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] cifs: clear tcon after cifsFileInfo_put() in cifs_file_set_size()
Date: Thu,  6 Aug 2026 21:41:56 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260807024158.3707995-2-sorenson@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260807024158.3707995-1-sorenson@redhat.com>

When the else branch of cifs_file_set_size() finds a writable file handle
via find_writable_file(), it borrows tcon and server from the handle's
tlink, attempts the handle-based set_file_size() RPC, and then releases
the handle with cifsFileInfo_put().

If set_file_size() fails, execution falls through to the path-based
fallback, which reuses the borrowed tcon and server under the
"if (tcon == NULL)" guard.  Since tcon is not NULL at that point, the
guard is skipped.  If cifsFileInfo_put() dropped the last reference on a
tlink that was already removed from the tlink tree (TCON_LINK_IN_TREE
cleared, as happens during reconnection or session teardown),
cifs_put_tlink() will have freed tcon; the subsequent set_path_size()
call is then a use-after-free.

Setting tcon = NULL after cifsFileInfo_put() causes the existing guard
to take the cifs_sb_tlink() path, which acquires a fresh reference for
the path-based operation or fails cleanly if the session is gone.
