When executing add_credits() we currently call cifs_reconnect() if the number of credits is zero and there are no requests in flight. In this case we may call cifs_reconnect() recursively twice and cause memory corruption given the following sequence of functions: mid1.callback() -> add_credits() -> cifs_reconnect() -> -> mid2.callback() -> add_credits() -> cifs_reconnect(). Fix this by avoiding to call cifs_reconnect() in add_credits() and checking for zero credits in the demultiplex thread.

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.
