![]() When the SMB server reboots and the client immediately accesses the mount
point, a race condition can occur that causes operations to fail with
"Host is down" error.
Reproduction steps:
# Mount SMB share
mount -t cifs //192.168.245.109/TEST /mnt/ -o xxxx
ls /mnt
# Reboot server
ssh root@192.168.245.109 reboot
ssh root@192.168.245.109 /path/to/cifs_server_setup.sh
ssh root@192.168.245.109 systemctl stop firewalld
# Immediate access fails
ls /mnt
ls: cannot access '/mnt': Host is down
# But works if there is a delay
The issue is caused by a race condition between negotiate and reconnect.
The 20-second negotiate timeout mechanism can interfere with the normal
recovery process when both are triggered simultaneously.

cifs_sync_mid_result
// case MID_RETRY_NEEDED
rc = -EAGAIN;
// In smb2_negotiate()
rc = -EHOSTDOWN;
The server_unresponsive() timeout triggers cifs_reconnect(), which aborts
ongoing mid requests and causes the ls command to receive -EAGAIN, leading
to -EHOSTDOWN.
Fix this by introducing a dedicated `neg_start` field to
precisely tracks when the negotiate process begins. The timeout check
now uses this accurate timestamp instead of `lstrp`, ensuring that:
1. Timeout is only triggered after negotiate has actually run for 20s
2. The mechanism doesn't interfere with concurrent recovery processes
3. Uninitialized timestamps (value 0) don't trigger false timeouts

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 reStructuredText 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.
