Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cifs: Fix server re-repick on subrequest retry When a subrequest is marked for needing retry, netfs will call cifs_prepare_write() which will make cifs repick the server for the op before renegotiating credits; it then calls cifs_issue_write() which invokes smb2_async_writev() - which re-repicks the server. If a different server is then selected, this causes the increment of server->in_flight to happen against one record and the decrement to happen against another, leading to misaccounting. Fix this by just removing the repick code in smb2_async_writev(). As this is only called from netfslib-driven code, cifs_prepare_write() should always have been called first, and so server should never be NULL and the preparatory step is repeated in the event that we do a retry. The problem manifests as a warning looking something like: WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 72896 at fs/smb/client/smb2ops.c:97 smb2_add_credits+0x3f0/0x9e0 [cifs] ... RIP: 0010:smb2_add_credits+0x3f0/0x9e0 [cifs] ... smb2_writev_callback+0x334/0x560 [cifs] cifs_demultiplex_thread+0x77a/0x11b0 [cifs] kthread+0x187/0x1d0 ret_from_fork+0x34/0x60 ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 Which may be triggered by a number of different xfstests running against an Azure server in multichannel mode. generic/249 seems the most repeatable, but generic/215, generic/249 and generic/308 may also show it.

Si luego se selecciona un servidor diferente, esto hace que el incremento de server-\u0026gt;in_flight ocurra en un registro y la disminuci\u00f3n en otro, lo que lleva a una contabilidad err\u00f3nea. Solucione este problema simplemente eliminando el c\u00f3digo de repetici\u00f3n en smb2_async_writev(). Como esto solo se llama desde c\u00f3digo controlado por netfslib, siempre se deber\u00eda haber llamado primero a cifs_prepare_write(), por lo que el servidor nunca deber\u00eda ser NULL y el paso preparatorio se repite en caso de que hagamos un reintento.
