    cifs: Fix server re-repick on subrequest retry · de40579b
    David Howells authored
    When a subrequest is marked for needing retry, netfs will call
    cifs_prepare_write() which will make cifs repick the server for the op
    before renegotiating credits; it then calls cifs_issue_write() which
    invokes smb2_async_writev() - which re-repicks the server.
    
    If a different server is then selected, this causes the increment of
    server->in_flight to happen against one record and the decrement to happen
    against another, leading to misaccounting.
    
    Fix this by just removing the repick code in smb2_async_writev().  As this
    is only called from netfslib-driven code, cifs_prepare_write() should
    always have been called first, and so server should never be NULL and the
    preparatory step is repeated in the event that we do a retry.
    
    The problem manifests as a warning looking something like:
    
     WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 72896 at fs/smb/client/smb2ops.c:97 smb2_add_credits+0x3f0/0x9e0 [cifs]
     ...
     RIP: 0010:smb2_add_credits+0x3f0/0x9e0 [cifs]
     ...
      smb2_writev_callback+0x334/0x560 [cifs]
      cifs_demultiplex_thread+0x77a/0x11b0 [cifs]
      kthread+0x187/0x1d0
      ret_from_fork+0x34/0x60
      ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30
    
    Which may be triggered by a number of different xfstests running against an
    Azure server in multichannel mode.  generic/249 seems the most repeatable,
    but generic/215, generic/249 and generic/308 may also show it.
