    "content": "This series fixes lifetime bugs around ksmbd connection shutdown,\nsession file-table teardown, and durable handle scavenging.\n\nPatch 1 centralizes the final struct ksmbd_conn release so every last\nputter runs ida_destroy() and transport cleanup.  The release is queued\nto a dedicated workqueue because transport teardown can sleep, while\none known last-putter is an RCU callback.\n\nPatch 2 hardens __close_file_table_ids() by taking a transient\nksmbd_file reference, unpublishing from the session idr under ft->lock,\nand doing sleepable preserve/close work outside ft->lock.  It also\nmakes the FP_NEW window visible to the opener through\nksmbd_update_fstate().\n\nPatch 2 is scoped to file-table teardown and the FP_NEW publication\nwindow.  It does not try to fix durable reconnect rollback on later\nsmb2_open() error paths (and the related post-FP_INITED reference\nwindow in fresh smb2_open).  Both already exist before this series\nand need either an explicit unpublish-on-error step or an extra\nsession-owned reference.  That is left as follow-up work.  The\nFP_NEW -> FP_INITED failure reuses smb2_open()'s existing -ENOENT to\nSTATUS_OBJECT_NAME_INVALID mapping to avoid changing wire behavior in\nthis lifetime fix.\n\nPatch 3 closes two related races in the durable scavenger against any\nwalker that iterates f_ci->m_fp_list (ksmbd_lookup_fd_inode() and the\nshare-mode checks).  The scavenger no longer reuses fp->node as a\nscavenger-private collect-list node, takes an explicit transient\nreference under global_ft.lock, and drops both the durable lifetime\nand transient refs with atomic_sub_and_test(2, ...) after the\nm_fp_list unlink so an in-flight m_fp_list walker that snatched fp\nowns the final close cleanly.  fp->persistent_id is cleared inside\n__ksmbd_remove_durable_fd() so a delayed final close cannot re-issue\nidr_remove() on a slot that idr_alloc_cyclic() may have already\nre-handed to a new durable handle.  __put_fd_final() bypasses the\nper-conn open_files_count decrement when fp is detached from any\nsession table (fp->conn cleared by session_fd_check() at durable\npreserve, paired with the volatile_id clear at unpublish), since the\nwalker that owns the final close in that case runs from an unrelated\nwork->conn whose counter never tracked this durable fp.\n\nThe series is intentionally scoped to lifetime/race fixes and the\nwalker-final-putter regression that the durable scavenger handoff in\npatch 3 newly exposes.  Pre-existing reconnect rollback and per-conn\nopen_files_count accounting gaps are left as follow-up work so this\nseries does not have to claim a full durable-reconnect or accounting\ncleanup.\n\nValidation:\n  * abrupt-disconnect kmemleak/kprobe A/B for connection release\n  * same-session two-tcon DEBUG_LIST/DEBUG_OBJECTS_WORK stress\n  * forced durable-preserve sleep-path harness for session teardown\n  * KASAN-enabled direct SMB2 coverage for session/tree teardown and\n    durable-preserve paths\n  * KASAN-enabled direct SMB2 coverage for durable scavenger expiry\n    racing with m_fp_list lookups\n  * checkpatch --strict for all patches\n  * make -j$(nproc) M=fs/smb/server\n\nv1 -> v2:\n  * Split the original change into bisectable patches: connection final\n    release, session file-table teardown, and durable scavenger races.\n  * Keep sleepable session preserve/close work out of ft->lock and make\n    the FP_NEW publication race visible through a cleared volatile id.\n  * Document that durable reconnect rollback on later smb2_open()\n    error paths is a pre-existing follow-up item, and keep the\n    existing -ENOENT to STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_INVALID wire mapping for\n    this lifetime fix.\n  * Avoid reusing fp->node as a temporary durable scavenger list node\n    and take a transient reference in the durable scavenger so\n    concurrent ksmbd_lookup_fd_inode() walkers cannot UAF on freed fp.\n    These two fixes are folded into a single patch because the\n    list-head-reuse fix alone leaves a deterministic UAF window for\n    m_fp_list walkers; bisecting onto an intermediate state would land\n    on a use-after-free that pre-patch chaos merely made less\n    reproducible.\n  * Clear fp->persistent_id in __ksmbd_remove_durable_fd() so a holder\n    that owns the final close after a scavenger removal does not\n    re-issue idr_remove() on a persistent id that may have already been\n    handed out to a new durable handle.\n  * Bypass the per-conn open_files_count decrement in __put_fd_final()\n    when fp is detached from any session table, so an m_fp_list walker\n    that owns the final close of a scavenged durable fp does not\n    underflow an unrelated conn's stats counter.\n  * Document the ksmbd_conn_wq lifetime invariant in ksmbd_conn_put()\n    instead of guarding with WARN_ON_ONCE, so a violation surfaces as\n    a NULL deref rather than a silent leak of the final release.\n\nDaeMyung Kang (3):\n  ksmbd: centralize ksmbd_conn final release to plug transport leak\n  ksmbd: harden file lifetime during session teardown\n  ksmbd: close durable scavenger races against m_fp_list lookups\n\n fs/smb/server/connection.c | 101 +++++++++--\n fs/smb/server/connection.h |   6 +\n fs/smb/server/oplock.c     |   7 +-\n fs/smb/server/server.c     |  12 ++\n fs/smb/server/smb2pdu.c    |   6 +-\n fs/smb/server/vfs_cache.c  | 341 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------\n fs/smb/server/vfs_cache.h  |   4 +-\n 7 files changed, 396 insertions(+), 81 deletions(-)"
