CVE-2025-40090

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ksmbd: fix recursive locking in RPC handle list access

Since commit 305853cce3794 ("ksmbd: Fix race condition in RPC handle list
access"), ksmbd_session_rpc_method() attempts to lock sess->rpc_lock.

This causes hung connections / tasks when a client attempts to open
a named pipe. Using Samba's rpcclient tool:

 $ rpcclient //192.168.1.254 -U user%password
 $ rpcclient $> srvinfo
 <connection hung here>

Kernel side:
  "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

  Exception stack(0x8529ffb0 to 0x8529fff8)

The task deadlocks because the lock is already held:
  ksmbd_session_rpc_open
    down_write(&sess->rpc_lock)
    ksmbd_rpc_open
      ksmbd_session_rpc_method
        down_read(&sess->rpc_lock)   <-- deadlock

Adjust ksmbd_session_rpc_method() callers to take the lock when necessary.
