Hi, I ran the last good kernel with several boot-up, cifs mount, un-mount, shut down cycles without encountering the problem. After applying the patch from <ronniesahlberg@xxxxxxxxx>: diff --git a/fs/cifs/smb2pdu.c b/fs/cifs/smb2pdu.c index 0ab6b1200288..d2658f51ff60 100644 --- a/fs/cifs/smb2pdu.c +++ b/fs/cifs/smb2pdu.c @@ -1847,7 +1847,8 @@ SMB2_tdis(const unsigned int xid, struct cifs_tcon *tcon) if ((tcon->need_reconnect) || (tcon->ses->need_reconnect)) return 0; - close_shroot(&tcon->crfid); + if (tcon->crfid.is_valid) + close_shroot(&tcon->crfid); to kernel 5.5.0-rc1 I no longer experience the problem.
