commit 06d57378bcc9b2c33640945174842115593795d1 upstream. We can't acquire volume lock while refreshing the DFS cache because cifs_reconnect() may call dfs_cache_update_vol() while we are walking through the volume list. To prevent that, make vol_info refcounted, create a temp list with all volumes eligible for refreshing, and then use it without any locks held. Besides, replace vol_lock with a spinlock and protect cache_ttl from concurrent accesses or changes.

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.
