If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Eduard Zateev [ Upstream commit 482c117c6dbeee382790168af10959810450ab09 ] The last session reference can be dropped while the cifsd demultiplex thread is still running clean_demultiplex_info(). That thread frees TCP_Server_Info there, racing with cifs_put_tcp_session() as it releases the server crypto state. syzbot reported a KASAN use-after-free in cifs_crypto_secmech_release(). Keep an object reference for the cifsd thread. Defer final crypto, session-key, network namespace, string, and structure cleanup until both the last session reference and the thread reference are dropped. Drop the thread reference after clean_demultiplex_info() has finished using the server. Build-tested with ARCH=arm64 and W=1 for fs/smb/client/connect.o. The KASAN reproducer was not run on the patched kernel.
