Subject: [PATCH v2 4.20.y stable] CIFS: fix deadlock in cached root handling
Date: Sat,  6 Jul 2019 22:11:31 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190706201131.1941-1-aaptel@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAKywueS6VDje+BAVOfdUuACdayoFz1-Q-fqtEOWP9jVp_SvvTA@mail.gmail.com>

Prevent deadlock between open_shroot() and
cifs_mark_open_files_invalid() by releasing the lock before entering
SMB2_open, taking it again after and checking if we still need to use
the result.

Changes since v1:
* added SMB2_close() of extra root handle
* copied valid handle to caller's pfid
* added reference get() of the handle

Please review carefuly, I haven't tested this.
