From d29fbf6779639cec8c04e1087c3feaab4c7b5e58 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ronnie Sahlberg Date: Sat, 6 Jul 2019 06:52:46 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] cifs: Fix a race condition with cifs_echo_request [ Upstream commit f2caf901c1b7ce65f9e6aef4217e3241039db768 ] There is a race condition with how we send (or supress and don't send) smb echos that will cause the client to incorrectly think the server is unresponsive and thus needs to be reconnected. Summary of the race condition: 1) Daisy chaining scheduling creates a gap. 2) If traffic comes unfortunate shortly after the last echo, the planned echo is suppressed. 3) Due to the gap, the next echo transmission is delayed until after the timeout, which is set hard to twice the echo interval. This is fixed by changing the timeouts from 2 to three times the echo interval.
