Title
smb: client: prevent races in ->query_interfaces()
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smb: client: prevent races in ->query_interfaces() It was possible for two query interface works to be concurrently trying to update the interfaces. Prevent this by checking and updating iface_last_update under iface_lock.
