Subject: [PATCH 3.2 51/87] cifs: fix race between call_async() and reconnect()

3.2.77-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Rabin Vincent <rabin.vincent@...s.com>

commit 820962dc700598ffe8cd21b967e30e7520c34748 upstream.

cifs_call_async() queues the MID to the pending list and calls
smb_send_rqst().  If smb_send_rqst() performs a partial send, it sets
the tcpStatus to CifsNeedReconnect and returns an error code to
cifs_call_async().  In this case, cifs_call_async() removes the MID
from the list and returns to the caller.

However, cifs_call_async() releases the server mutex _before_ removing
the MID.  This means that a cifs_reconnect() can race with this function
and manage to remove the MID from the list and delete the entry before
cifs_call_async() calls cifs_delete_mid().  This leads to various
crashes due to the use after free in cifs_delete_mid().

Task1				Task2

cifs_call_async():
 - rc = -EAGAIN
 - mutex_unlock(srv_mutex)

				cifs_reconnect():
				 - mutex_lock(srv_mutex)
				 - mutex_unlock(srv_mutex)
				 - list_delete(mid)
				 - mid->callback()
				 	cifs_writev_callback():
				 		- mutex_lock(srv_mutex)
						- delete(mid)
				 		- mutex_unlock(srv_mutex)

 - cifs_delete_mid(mid) <---- use after free

Fix this by removing the MID in cifs_call_async() before releasing the
srv_mutex.  Also hold the srv_mutex in cifs_reconnect() until the MIDs
are moved out of the pending list.

[bwh: Backported to 3.2:
 - In cifs_call_async() there are two error paths jumping to 'out_err';
   fix both of them
 - s/cifs_delete_mid/delete_mid/
 - Adjust context]
