Paulo Alcantara (SUSE) 3d29dc60aa cifs: Fix potential softlockups while refreshing DFS cache
commit 84a1f5b1cc6fd7f6cd99fc5630c36f631b19fa60 upstream.

We used to skip reconnects on all SMB2_IOCTL commands due to SMB3+
FSCTL_VALIDATE_NEGOTIATE_INFO - which made sense since we're still
establishing a SMB session.

However, when refresh_cache_worker() calls smb2_get_dfs_refer() and
we're under reconnect, SMB2_ioctl() will not be able to get a proper
status error (e.g. -EHOSTDOWN in case we failed to reconnect) but an
-EAGAIN from cifs_send_recv() thus looping forever in
refresh_cache_worker().

Fixes: e99c63e4d86d ("SMB3: Fix deadlock in validate negotiate hits reconnect")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
