Hi Christoph, thank you very much for your work in this LP! Both the
debug part and finally your patch. I was looking the same set of issues
in parallel, with another user that reported the same crashes.

So, regarding your question in comment #15 ("are those gonna be
backportet to 4.x-generic?"), I've just nominated this LP for all series
with kernels 4.15+, given we had no reports for previous series. That
said, we're going to backport your patch as soon some more validation
tests are finished. I'm planning to use this LP only for the strcat
issue.

There's another LP for the smb2_push_mandatory_locks() crash:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1795659

I suggest you to add yourself in that bug, so we can follow-up the
discussion there regarding this 2nd crash. There's a candidate patch for
the smb2_push_mandatory_locks() issue, you already mentioned it here:
b98749cac4a ("CIFS: keep FileInfo handle live during oplock break").

It's unfortunate that you said testing v5.1-rc7 didn't fix that crash -
I've discussed this smb2_push_mandatory_locks() crash with Steve and
Pavel (from Microsoft) in a private thread and they suggested me exactly
this patch in order to fix the issue.

Could you test the kernel 
https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.2-rc1/ (which includes your 
strcat patch) and see if it still reproduces the smb2_push_mandatory_locks() 
crash?
Would be really helpful for us. You can comment the testing in the other LP (# 
1795659), if possible.

Cheers,


Guilherme

  We've seen the following bug many times since we introduced new
  machines running Ubuntu 18. Wasn't an issue older machines running
  Ubuntu 16. Three different machines are affected, so it's rather not a
  hardware issue.

  (Full dmesg output attached)

  After hitting this bug there are many cifs related dmesg entries,
  processes lock up and eventually the systems freezes.

  
  The share is mounted using:
  //server/share  /mnt/server/ cifs 
defaults,auto,iocharset=utf8,noperm,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,credentials=/root/passwords/share,domain=myDomain,uid=myUser,gid=10513,mfsymlinks

  Currently we're testing the cifs mount options "cache=none" as the bug
  seems to be oplock related.
