From 489f710a738e24d887823a010b8b206b4124e26f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shyam Prasad N Date: Sat, 29 Jan 2022 09:32:33 +0000 Subject: cifs: unlock chan_lock before calling cifs_put_tcp_session While removing an smb session, we need to free up the tcp session for each channel for that session. We were doing this with chan_lock held. This results in a cyclic dependency with cifs_tcp_ses_lock. For now, unlock the chan_lock temporarily before calling cifs_put_tcp_session. This should not cause any problem for now, since we do not remove channels anywhere else. And this code segment will not be called by two threads. When we do implement the code for removing channels, we will need to execute proper ref counting here.
