           Summary: smbfs segfault when mounting mountpoint that is in
                    use(?)
    Kernel Version: 2.5.70-mm1
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
             Owner: [email protected]
         Submitter: [email protected]

Distribution:Debian
Hardware Environment:Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600, mounting smbfs system from Debian 2.4.20-xfs-rmap15f machine
Software Environment:xmms, smbfs, xfs filesystem
Problem Description: Kernel segfault when I mount an smbfs mount while the mountpoint may have a file open

Steps to reproduce:

Package: smbfs
Version: 2.999+3.0.alpha24-3
Severity: normal

I can duplicate this about 60% of the time -- however, once it hangs, anything dealing with the mounted filesystem will cause the process to hang. Kill -9 mount.smbfs has no result. (it was mentioned in an old bug report for smbfs dealing with 2.2/potato)

ls /music and df both hang when accessing the samba partition.

Much harder to duplicate is disconnecting the network connection to the other machine after it has been mounted, but before any files have been requested. I can get it to do that perhaps 1% of the time.

Both errors started after I upgraded from 2.4.20 to 2.5.70-mm1. According to the userland utils, no recent updates have been made.

How it happens:

I have a laptop with wifi, and of course the samba filesystem doesn't mount during bootup (probably a config issue on my part). I start xmms without having the samba filesystem mounted and it starts playing, however every file in the playlist cannot be found. While it is going through that, I mount the filesystem. When the system is mounted, there is a 60/40 chance that it will segfault.

In 2.4 it seemed to work fine, however, I do keep somewhat current with apt-get upgrades, so I don't know if there was a recent samba upgrade that happened since I upgraded to 2.5. (NOTE, smbfs guys claim it is a kernel bug, not a userspace bug)
