Subject[PATCH 5.5 02/23] cifs: fix soft mounts hanging in the reconnect code
Date
From: Ronnie Sahlberg <lsahlber@redhat.com>

commit c54849ddd832ae0a45cab16bcd1ed2db7da090d7 upstream.

RHBZ: 1795429

In recent DFS updates we have a new variable controlling how many times we will
retry to reconnect the share.
If DFS is not used, then this variable is initialized to 0 in:

static inline int
dfs_cache_get_nr_tgts(const struct dfs_cache_tgt_list *tl)
{
return tl ? tl->tl_numtgts : 0;
}

This means that in the reconnect loop in smb2_reconnect() we will immediately wrap retries to -1
and never actually get to pass this conditional:

if (--retries)
continue;

The effect is that we no longer reach the point where we fail the commands with -EHOSTDOWN
and basically the kernel threads are virtually hung and unkillable.
