Subject: CVE-2025-38379: smb: client: fix warning when reconnecting channel

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

smb: client: fix warning when reconnecting channel

When reconnecting a channel in smb2_reconnect_server(), a dummy tcon
is passed down to smb2_reconnect() with ->query_interface
uninitialized, so we can't call queue_delayed_work() on it.

Fix the following warning by ensuring that we're queueing the delayed
worker from correct tcon.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
