After mounting a remote cifs resource, it becomes unavailable:
df: /mnt/sambashare: Resource temporarily unavailable
It was tested on the following Linux kernels:
Linux altlinux 5.10.208-std-def-alt1
Linux fedora 5.10.208-200.el8.x86_64
The error appeared starting from kernel 5.10.206 after adding
the commit [1] "smb: client: fix OOB in SMB2_query_info_init()",
in which the buffer length increases by 1 as a result of changes:
...
- iov[0].iov_len = total_len - 1 + input_len;
+ iov[0].iov_len = len;
...
We can reproduce this on 5.15.148(latest 5.15.y) and Mohamed reported
this on 6.1.y, so we need backports there as well.

[root@vm1 xfstests-dev]# ./check -g quick -s smb3
TEST_DEV=//<SERVER_IP>/TEST is mounted but not a type cifs filesystem
[root@vm1 xfstests-dev]# df
df: /mnt/test: Resource temporarily unavailable
This two patch series doesn't cleanly apply to 5.15.y.
Also I am unsure, which is the better approach to go with
Approach 1 - suggested by Paulo:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/446860c571d0699ed664175262a9e84b@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/
Approach 2 - this series
Pulling in [PATCH 2/2] smb3: Replace smb2pdu 1-element arrays with
flex-arrays like this series did.
I think approach 1 is better as the changes are minimal, but please
correct me if that seems wrong.
Thanks,
Harshit

Error fixed by backported commits in next two patches adapted for the 5.10 kernel:
[PATCH 1/2] stddef: Introduce DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() helper
[PATCH 2/2] smb3: Replace smb2pdu 1-element arrays with flex-arrays
Now queued up, thanks.
