There's a race when cifs_readv_receive() might dequeue the mid, and mid->callback(), called from demultiplex thread, will try to access it to verify the signature before the mid is actually released/deleted. Currently the signature verification fails, but the verification shouldn't have happened at all because the mid was deleted because of an error, and hence not really supposed to be passed to ->callback(). There are no further errors because the mid is effectivelly gone by the end of the callback. This patch checks if the mid doesn't have the MID_DELETED flag set (by dequeue_mid()) right before trying to verify the signature. According to my tests, trying to check it earlier, e.g. after the ->receive() call in cifs_demultiplex_thread, will fail most of the time as dequeue_mid() might not have been called yet. This behaviour can be seen in xfstests generic/465, for example, where mids with STATUS_END_OF_FILE (-ENODATA) are dequeued and supposed to be discarded, but instead have their signature computed, but mismatched.
