[PATCH 5.3 135/140] CIFS: Fix retry mid list corruption on reconnects

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: Pavel Shilovsky <pshilov@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit abe57073d08c13b95a46ccf48cc9dc957d5c6fdb upstream.

When the client hits reconnect it iterates over the mid
pending queue marking entries for retry and moving them
to a temporary list to issue callbacks later without holding
GlobalMid_Lock. In the same time there is no guarantee that
mids can't be removed from the temporary list or even
freed completely by another thread. It may cause a temporary
list corruption:

Fix this by obtaining extra references for mids being retried
and marking them as MID_DELETED which indicates that such a mid
has been dequeued from the pending list.

Also move mid cleanup logic from DeleteMidQEntry to
_cifs_mid_q_entry_release which is called when the last reference
to a particular mid is put. This allows to avoid any use-after-free
of response buffers.

The patch needs to be backported to stable kernels. A stable tag
is not mentioned below because the patch doesn't apply cleanly
to any actively maintained stable kernel.
