In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

smb: client: fix potential deadlock when reconnecting channels

Fix cifssignalcifsdforreconnect() to take the correct lock order and prevent the following deadlock from happening

====================================================== WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected

6.16.0-rc3-build2+ #1301 Tainted: G S W

cifsd/6055 is trying to acquire lock: ffff88810ad56038 (&tcpses->srvlock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: cifssignalcifsdforreconnect+0x134/0x200

but task is already holding lock: ffff888119c64330 (&retbuf->chanlock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: cifssignalcifsdforreconnect+0xcf/0x200

which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of: &tcpses->srvlock --> &retbuf->seslock --> &retbuf->chanlock

Possible unsafe locking scenario:

   CPU0                    CPU1
   ----                    ----

lock(&retbuf->chanlock); lock(&retbuf->seslock); lock(&retbuf->chanlock); lock(&tcpses->srvlock);
