[PATCH v2 5/7] cifs: Fix potential deadlock when updating vol in cifs_reconnect()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



We can't hold the vol_lock spinlock while refreshing the DFS cache
because cifs_reconnect() may call dfs_cache_update_vol() while we are
walking through the volume list.

To prevent that, make vol_info refcounted, create a temp list with all
volumes eligible for refreshing, and then use it without any locks
held.

v1 -> v2:
  - mention that vol_info is now refcounted in commit msg
  - document put_vol() to say that it must be called with vol_lock held
