[PATCH 6.6 063/132] smb: client: fix race condition in negotiate timeout by using more precise timing

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

6.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Wang Zhaolong <wangzhaolong@huaweicloud.com>

[ Upstream commit 266b5d02e14f3a0e07414e11f239397de0577a1d ]

When the SMB server reboots and the client immediately accesses the mount
point, a race condition can occur that causes operations to fail with
"Host is down" error.

Reproduction steps:
  # Mount SMB share
  mount -t cifs //192.168.245.109/TEST /mnt/ -o xxxx
  ls /mnt

  # Reboot server
  ssh root@192.168.245.109 reboot
  ssh root@192.168.245.109 /path/to/cifs_server_setup.sh
  ssh root@192.168.245.109 systemctl stop firewalld

  # Immediate access fails
  ls /mnt
  ls: cannot access '/mnt': Host is down

  # But works if there is a delay

The issue is caused by a race condition between negotiate and reconnect.
The 20-second negotiate timeout mechanism can interfere with the normal
recovery process when both are triggered simultaneously.

  ls                              cifsd

                                  __cifs_reconnect
                                  cifs_abort_connection
                                    mid->mid_state = MID_RETRY_NEEDED
                                    cifs_wake_up_task
    cifs_sync_mid_result
     // case MID_RETRY_NEEDED
     rc = -EAGAIN;
   // In smb2_negotiate()
   rc = -EHOSTDOWN;

The server_unresponsive() timeout triggers cifs_reconnect(), which aborts
ongoing mid requests and causes the ls command to receive -EAGAIN, leading
to -EHOSTDOWN.

Fix this by introducing a dedicated `neg_start` field to
precisely tracks when the negotiate process begins. The timeout check
now uses this accurate timestamp instead of `lstrp`, ensuring that:

1. Timeout is only triggered after negotiate has actually run for 20s
2. The mechanism doesn't interfere with concurrent recovery processes
3. Uninitialized timestamps (value 0) don't trigger false timeouts
