This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled smb3: display network namespace in debug information to the 6.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: smb3-display-network-namespace-in-debug-information.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 7b38f6ddc97bf572c3422d3175e8678dd95502fa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steve French <stfrench@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 10 Aug 2023 21:41:03 -0500 Subject: smb3: display network namespace in debug information From: Steve French <stfrench@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 7b38f6ddc97bf572c3422d3175e8678dd95502fa upstream. We recently had problems where a network namespace was deleted causing hard to debug reconnect problems. To help deal with configuration issues like this it is useful to dump the network namespace to better debug what happened. So add this to information displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData for the server (and channels if mounted with multichannel). For example: Local Users To Server: 1 SecMode: 0x1 Req On Wire: 0 Net namespace: 4026531840 This can be easily compared with what is displayed for the processes on the system. For example /proc/1/ns/net in this case showed the same thing (see below), and we can see that the namespace is still valid in this example.
