Shyam Prasad N 8da33fd11c cifs: avoid deadlocks while updating iface
We use cifs_tcp_ses_lock to protect a lot of things.
Not only does it protect the lists of connections, sessions,
tree connects, open file lists, etc., we also use it to
protect some fields in each of it's entries.

In this case, cifs_mark_ses_for_reconnect takes the
cifs_tcp_ses_lock to traverse the lists, and then calls
cifs_update_iface. However, that can end up calling
cifs_put_tcp_session, which picks up the same lock again.

Avoid this by taking a ref for the session, drop the lock,
and then call update iface.

Also, in cifs_update_iface, avoid nested locking of iface_lock
and chan_lock, as much as possible. When unavoidable, we need
to pick iface_lock first.

README

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.
