smb: client: transport: avoid reconnects triggered by pending task work
When io_uring is used in the same task as CIFS, there might be unnecessary reconnects, causing issues in user-space applications like QEMU with a log like: > CIFS: VFS: \\10.10.100.81 Error -512 sending data on socket to server Certain io_uring completions might be added to task_work with notify_method being TWA_SIGNAL and thus TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL is set for the task. In __smb_send_rqst(), signals are masked before calling smb_send_kvec(), but the masking does not apply to TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL. If sk_stream_wait_memory() is reached via sock_sendmsg() while TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL is set, signal_pending(current) will evaluate to true there, and -EINTR will be propagated all the way from sk_stream_wait_memory() to sock_sendmsg() in smb_send_kvec(). Afterwards, __smb_send_rqst() will see that not everything was written and reconnect. Signed-off-by: Fiona Ebner <f.ebner@proxmox.com> Signed-off-by: Steve French <stfrench@microsoft.com>
