[PATCH 0/1] dont leak -EAGAIN

[Ronnie Sahlberg]

Steve, List

Please find a small patch to fix an issue where during a session reconnect we may leak
-EAGAIN back to the application instead of retrying the operation once reconnect has completed.

This can affects for example the stat() call :
  stat("/mnt", 0x55b802c096f8) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) <0.002447>
causing applications such as 'ls' to fail with an error as this is not a valid return
for stat()

[PATCH] cifs: don't leak -EAGAIN for stat() during reconnect

[Ronnie Sahlberg]

If from cifs_revalidate_dentry_attr() the SMB2/QUERY_INFO call fails with an
error, such as STATUS_SESSION_EXPIRED, causing the session to be reconnected
it is possible we will leak -EAGAIN back to the application even for
system calls such as stat() where this is not a valid error.

Fix this by re-trying the operation from within cifs_revalidate_dentry_attr()
if cifs_get_inode_info*() returns -EAGAIN.

This fixes stat() and possibly also other system calls that uses
cifs_revalidate_dentry*().
