The task which created the MID may be gone by the time cifsd attempts to
call the callbacks on MIDs from cifs_reconnect().

This leads to a use-after-free of the task struct in cifs_wake_up_task:

 The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff8880103e32c0

 The buggy address is located 1960 bytes inside of
  6016-byte region [ffff8880103e32c0, ffff8880103e4a40)
 The buggy address belongs to the page:

 ==================================================================

This can be reliably reproduced by adding the below delay to
cifs_reconnect(), running find(1) on the mount, restarting the samba
server while find is running, and killing find during the delay:

  	spin_unlock(&GlobalMid_Lock);
  	mutex_unlock(&server->srv_mutex);

 +	msleep(10000);
 +
  	cifs_dbg(FYI, "%s: issuing mid callbacks\n", __func__);
  	list_for_each_safe(tmp, tmp2, &retry_list) {
  		mid_entry = list_entry(tmp, struct mid_q_entry, qhead);

Fix this by holding a reference to the task struct until the MID is
freed.

Yes, I think this bug has been there for a while.

Note that the test described above usually triggers a different crash on
kernels earlier than v5.4 because abe57073d08c13b95a46ccf48c ("CIFS: Fix
retry mid list corruption on reconnects") has not (yet?) been backported
to those stable kernels.

It has been only backported to 5.3.x - available from version 5.3.10.

The patch in the thread looks good. Good catch, thanks!
