[PATCH 1/2] smb: client: hold server ref while queueing reconnect work

[Joseph Qi]

When query_server_interfaces() returns -EOPNOTSUPP on a secondary
channel, smb2_reconnect() calls smb3_update_ses_channels() which for a
channel runs cifs_chan_skip_or_disable().  That clears the channel's
slot in the session and calls cifs_put_tcp_session(), which can drop
the last reference of the channel and tear it down.

smb2_reconnect() then falls through to skip_add_channels and queues
reconnect work on that server, using a server that may already be
freed.  The send path obtained the channel from cifs_pick_channel(),
which does not take a reference, so the session's channel reference is
the only one.

Take our own reference on the channel before calling
smb3_update_ses_channels() and drop it after the reconnect work has
been queued, so the channel cannot be freed while it is still used.

[PATCH 2/2] smb: client: skip NULL channel in __cifs_put_smb_ses()

[Joseph Qi]

cifs_chan_skip_or_disable() clears a secondary channel's slot in the
session (ses->chans[chan_index].server = NULL) without lowering
chan_count when the server stops supporting multichannel.  When the
session is later released, __cifs_put_smb_ses() walks every slot up to
chan_count and calls cifs_put_tcp_session() on it, which dereferences
the server pointer immediately, so a slot left NULL by the skip path
makes the release crash with a NULL pointer dereference.

Clearing a slot without lowering chan_count is older than
cifs_chan_skip_or_disable(): cifs_chan_update_iface() could already
do the same since b54034a73baf9 ("cifs: during reconnect, update
interface if necessary"), and the release loop has been unguarded
since then.  12d1e301bdfd1 ("cifs: do not let cifs_chan_update_iface
deallocate channels") later removed that trigger, but the crash is
reachable through it on older kernels.

cifs_decrease_secondary_channels() already guards the same put with
if (server).  Add the same guard to the release loop so a skipped
channel slot is left alone.

Applied.
