Jeff and I have worked on a series of patches to fix the oopses, memory corruption and mount failures due to races in various linked list handling relating to socket, session and tree connection when using the reproducer detailed here: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5720 The fix series is now merged into cifs-2.6.git Thanks to Jeff for great work. It took quite a while to work through, and I worked hard on an approach to make it smaller, but eventually we decided that a larger fix was better.
