[PATCH] ceph: clear `s_cap_reconnect` when ceph_pagelist_encode_32() fails

From: Max Kellermann

Date: Mon Mar 30 2026 - 04:51:24 EST


This MDS reconnect error path leaves s_cap_reconnect set.
send_mds_reconnect() sets the bit at the beginning of the reconnect,
but the first failing operation after that, ceph_pagelist_encode_32(),
can jump to `fail:` without clearing it.

__ceph_remove_cap() consults that flag to decide whether cap releases
should be queued. A reconnect-preparation failure therefore leaves the
session in reconnect mode from the cap-release path's point of view
and can strand release work until some later state transition repairs
it.
