cifs: fix crash due to race in hmac(md5) handling
The secmech hmac(md5) structures are present in the TCP_Server_Info struct and can be shared among multiple CIFS sessions. However, the server mutex is not currently held when these structures are allocated and used, which can lead to a kernel crashes, as in the scenario below: mount.cifs(8) #1 mount.cifs(8) #2 Is secmech.sdeschmaccmd5 allocated? // false Is secmech.sdeschmaccmd5 allocated? // false secmech.hmacmd = crypto_alloc_shash.. secmech.sdeschmaccmd5 = kzalloc.. sdeschmaccmd5->shash.tfm = &secmec.hmacmd; secmech.sdeschmaccmd5 = kzalloc // sdeschmaccmd5->shash.tfm // not yet assigned crypto_shash_update() deref NULL sdeschmaccmd5->shash.tfm Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 00000030 epc : 8027ba34 crypto_shash_update+0x38/0x158 ra : 8020f2e8 setup_ntlmv2_rsp+0x4bc/0xa84 Call Trace: crypto_shash_update+0x38/0x158 setup_ntlmv2_rsp+0x4bc/0xa84 build_ntlmssp_auth_blob+0xbc/0x34c sess_auth_rawntlmssp_authenticate+0xac/0x248 CIFS_SessSetup+0xf0/0x178 cifs_setup_session+0x4c/0x84 cifs_get_smb_ses+0x2c8/0x314 cifs_mount+0x38c/0x76c cifs_do_mount+0x98/0x440 mount_fs+0x20/0xc0 vfs_kern_mount+0x58/0x138 do_mount+0x1e8/0xccc SyS_mount+0x88/0xd4 syscall_common+0x30/0x54 Fix this by locking the srv_mutex around the code which uses these hmac(md5) structures. All the other secmech algos already have similar locking.
