Hello Shyam Prasad N,

Commit 62adfb82c199 ("cifs: serialize initialization and cleanup of
cfid") from Apr 29, 2025 (linux-next), leads to the following Smatch
static checker warning:

	fs/smb/client/cached_dir.c:492 drop_cached_dir_by_name()
	warn: sleeping in atomic context

fs/smb/client/cached_dir.c

    478 {
    479         struct cached_fid *cfid = NULL;
    480         int rc;
    481 
    482         rc = open_cached_dir(xid, tcon, name, cifs_sb, true, &cfid);

    486         }
    487         spin_lock(&cfid->fid_lock);

    491                 kref_put(&cfid->refcount, smb2_close_cached_fid);
                                                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The patch adds mutex but the issue is that drop_cached_dir_by_name()
is holding a spinlock and we can't take a mutex if we're already holding
a spinlock.

    493         spin_unlock(&cfid->fid_lock);
    494         close_cached_dir(cfid);
    495 }

Hi Dan,

Good catches. I'll fix them both.

This frees "cfid".

    473         mutex_unlock(&cfid->cfid_mutex);

If there is something waiting on this lock then it's a use after free on
the waiter side as well.  Maybe this should be reference counted?
