[ Upstream commit ee36a3b345c433a846effcdcfba437c2298eeda5 ] Following a successful cifs_tree_connect, we have the code to scale up/down the number of channels in the session. However, it is not protected by a lock today. As a result, this code can be executed by several processes that select the same channel. The core functions handle this well, as they pick chan_lock. However, we've seen cases where smb2_reconnect throws some warnings. To fix that, this change introduces a flags bitmap inside the cifs_ses structure. A new flag type is used to ensure that only one process enters this section at any time.

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.
