Subject: [PATCH 4/4] smb: prevent TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL from interrupting
Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 12:29:39 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260818-work-tif_notify_signal-v1-4-1ee1fcc5b3ff@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260818-work-tif_notify_signal-v1-0-1ee1fcc5b3ff@kernel.org>

smb_send_kvec() blocks every signal during a send:

	sigfillset(&mask);
	sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, &mask, &oldmask);

An incomplete or partial sent would cause the connection to become out
of sync. That in turn would cause the session to be torn down and
reconnected.

In 00be6f26a2a7 ("smb: client: transport: avoid reconnects triggered
by pending task work") smb hand-rolled its own solution. Have it use the
new no_notify_signal_save() critical section instead.

This stops io_uring from cancelling a send in flight but that's just
like it is today and it is bounded by sk_sndtimeo at around 15s.
