Paulo Alcantara c3848c3dc8 smb: client: fix race with concurrent opens in unlink(2)
[ Upstream commit 0af1561b2d ]

According to some logs reported by customers, CIFS client might end up
reporting unlinked files as existing in stat(2) due to concurrent
opens racing with unlink(2).

Besides sending the removal request to the server, the unlink process
could involve closing any deferred close as well as marking all
existing open handles as deleted to prevent them from deferring
closes, which increases the race window for potential concurrent
opens.

Fix this by unhashing the dentry in cifs_unlink() to prevent any
subsequent opens.  Any open attempts, while we're still unlinking,
will block on parent's i_rwsem.

README

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.
