Fiona Ebner c3e4a6de0d smb: client: transport: avoid reconnects triggered by pending task work
[ Upstream commit 00be6f26a2 ]

When io_uring is used in the same task as CIFS, there might be
unnecessary reconnects, causing issues in user-space applications
like QEMU with a log like:

> CIFS: VFS: \\10.10.100.81 Error -512 sending data on socket to server

Certain io_uring completions might be added to task_work with
notify_method being TWA_SIGNAL and thus TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL is set for
the task.

In __smb_send_rqst(), signals are masked before calling
smb_send_kvec(), but the masking does not apply to TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL.

If sk_stream_wait_memory() is reached via sock_sendmsg() while
TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL is set, signal_pending(current) will evaluate to
true there, and -EINTR will be propagated all the way from
sk_stream_wait_memory() to sock_sendmsg() in smb_send_kvec().
Afterwards, __smb_send_rqst() will see that not everything was written
and 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.
