We use cifs_tcp_ses_lock to protect a lot of things. Not only does it protect the lists of connections, sessions, tree connects, open file lists, etc., we also use it to protect some fields in each of it's entries. In this case, cifs_mark_ses_for_reconnect takes the cifs_tcp_ses_lock to traverse the lists, and then calls cifs_update_iface. However, that can end up calling cifs_put_tcp_session, which picks up the same lock again. Avoid this by taking a ref for the session, drop the lock, and then call update iface. Also, in cifs_update_iface, avoid nested locking of iface_lock and chan_lock, as much as possible. When unavoidable, we need to pick iface_lock first.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
