Subject: [PATCH v5] smb: client: avoid ctx corruption on failed multichannel remounts
Date: Fri,  1 May 2026 15:09:07 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260501060907.3859641-1-charsyam@gmail.com> (raw)

smb3_reconfigure() moves string fields out of the live mount context
(cifs_sb->ctx) before updating multichannel state. If the remount fails
after that point, the live context can be left with NULL strings or with
options that do not match the session state.

Snapshot cifs_sb->ctx on entry, build the new context separately, and
replace cifs_sb->ctx only after the staged reconfigure work succeeds.
Restore the snapshot on failure paths before committing session-side
state.

Also make smb3_sync_session_ctx_passwords() all-or-nothing, and keep the
ses->password commit before smb3_update_ses_channels() so newly added
channels authenticate with the new credentials.

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

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.
