With no response yet, those callbacks return credits\nand drop in_flight. Then compound_send_recv()'s send-error path returns\nthe same credits again. in_flight ends up decremented twice and\nsmb2_add_credits() WARNs.\n\nsyzbot hits this during SMB2_negotiate when the socket send fails.\n\ncifs_call_async() already calls delete_mid() before unlock on send\nfailure. Do the same for compound chains and set cancelled_mid[] so the\nout: path does not delete them again."}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["fs/smb/client/transport.c"],"versions":[{"version":"ee258d79159afed52ca9372aeb9c1a51e89b32ee","lessThan":"70783946f3b5d0c06ec7df0f5e7bec2bfad24efb","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"ee258d79159afed52ca9372aeb9c1a51e89b32ee","lessThan":"8f6f8a48399f82f4a83f7b9f25b9707e0062a4f9","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"3c57a0be487088b08d9c88998f911eb4a7ba36e4","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"4.20.11","lessThan":"4.21","status":"affected","versionType":"semver"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["fs/smb/client/transport.c"],"versions":[{"version":"5.0","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"5.0","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2.9","lessThanOrEqual":"7.2.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.3","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.0","versionEndExcluding":"7.2.9"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.0","versionEndExcluding":"7.3"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.20.11"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/70783946f3b5d0c06ec7df0f5e7bec2bfad24efb"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8f6f8a48399f82f4a83f7b9f25b9707e0062a4f9"}],"title":"smb: client: delete compound mids on send failure before unlock","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
