The bug is here: if (!tcon) { resched = true; list_del_init(&ses->rlist); cifs_put_smb_ses(ses); Because the list_for_each_entry() never exits early (without any break/goto/return inside the loop), the iterator 'ses' after the loop will always be an pointer to a invalid struct containing the HEAD (&pserver->smb_ses_list). As a result, the uses of 'ses' above will lead to a invalid memory access. The original intention should have been to walk each entry 'ses' in '&tmp_ses_list', delete '&ses->rlist' and put 'ses'. So fix it with a list_for_each_entry_safe().
