cifs: Fix infinite loop when using hard mount option For every request we send, whether it is SMB1 or SMB2+, we attempt to reconnect tcon (cifs_reconnect_tcon or smb2_reconnect) before carrying out the request. So, while server->tcpStatus != CifsNeedReconnect, we wait for the reconnection to succeed on wait_event_interruptible_timeout(). If it returns, that means that either the condition was evaluated to true, or timeout elapsed, or it was interrupted by a signal. Since we're not handling the case where the process woke up due to a received signal (-ERESTARTSYS), the next call to wait_event_interruptible_timeout() will _always_ fail and we end up looping forever inside either cifs_reconnect_tcon() or smb2_reconnect(). Here's an example of how to trigger that: $ mount.cifs //foo/share /mnt/test -o username=foo,password=foo,vers=1.0,hard (break connection to server before executing bellow cmd) $ stat -f /mnt/test & sleep 140 [1] 2511 $ ps -aux -q 2511 USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND root 2511 0.0 0.0 12892 1008 pts/0 S 12:24 0:00 stat -f /mnt/test $ kill -9 2511 (wait for a while; process is stuck in the kernel) $ ps -aux -q 2511 USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND root 2511 83.2 0.0 12892 1008 pts/0 R 12:24 30:01 stat -f /mnt/test By using 'hard' mount point means that cifs.ko will keep retrying indefinitely, however we must allow the process to be killed otherwise it would hang the system.
