cifs: prevent cifsd from exiting prematurely
When cifs_demultiplex_thread exits, it does a number of cleanup tasks including freeing the TCP_Server_Info struct. Much of the existing code in cifs assumes that when there is a cisfSesInfo struct, that it holds a reference to a valid TCP_Server_Info struct. We can never allow cifsd to exit when a cifsSesInfo struct is still holding a reference to the server. The server pointers will then point to freed memory. This patch eliminates a couple of questionable conditions where it does this. The idea here is to make an -EINTR return from kernel_recvmsg behave the same way as -ERESTARTSYS or -EAGAIN. If the task was signalled from cifs_put_tcp_session, then tcpStatus will be CifsExiting, and the kernel_recvmsg call will return quickly. There's also another condition where this can occur too -- if the tcpStatus is still in CifsNew, then it will also exit if the server closes the socket prematurely. I think we'll probably also need to fix that situation, but that requires a bit more consideration. Signed-off-by:Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by:
