cifs: Do not send echoes before Negotiate is complete
commit 62a6cfdd upstream. commit 4fcd1813 ("Fix reconnect to not defer smb3 session reconnect long after socket reconnect") added support for Negotiate requests to be initiated by echo calls. To avoid delays in calling echo after a reconnect, I added the patch introduced by the commit b8c60012 ("Call echo service immediately after socket reconnect"). This has however caused a regression with cifs shares which do not have support for echo calls to trigger Negotiate requests. On connections which need to call Negotiation, the echo calls trigger an error which triggers a reconnect which in turn triggers another echo call. This results in a loop which is only broken when an operation is performed on the cifs share. For an idle share, it can DOS a server. The patch uses the smb_operation can_echo() for cifs so that it is called only if connection has been already been setup. kernel bz: 194531 Signed-off-by: Sachin Prabhu <sprabhu@redhat.com> Tested-by: Jonathan Liu <net147@gmail.com> Acked-by: Pavel Shilovsky <pshilov@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Steve French <smfrench@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
