When the client hits reconnect it iterates over the mid pending queue marking entries for retry and moving them to a temporary list to issue callbacks later without holding GlobalMid_Lock. In the same time there is no guarantee that mids can't be removed from the temporary list or even freed completely by another thread. It may cause a temporary list corruption: [ 430.454897] list_del corruption. prev->next should be ffff98d3a8f316c0, but was 2e885cb266355469 [ 430.464668] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 430.466569] kernel BUG at lib/list_debug.c:51!

Also move mid cleanup logic from DeleteMidQEntry to _cifs_mid_q_entry_release which is called when the last reference to a particular mid is put. This allows to avoid any use-after-free of response buffers. The patch needs to be backported to stable kernels. A stable tag is not mentioned below because the patch doesn't apply cleanly to any actively maintained stable kernel.

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.
