Subject: [PATCH v2] smb: client: Fix refcount leak for cifs_sb_tlink
Date: Thu, 16 Oct 2025 02:52:55 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <aPBeBxTQLeyFl4mx@chcpu18> (raw)
Fix three refcount inconsistency issues related to `cifs_sb_tlink`.
Comments for `cifs_sb_tlink` state that `cifs_put_tlink()` needs to be
called after successful calls to `cifs_sb_tlink()`. Three calls fail to
update refcount accordingly, leading to possible resource leaks.
Fixes: 8ceb98437946 ("CIFS: Move rename to ops struct")
Fixes: 2f1afe25997f ("cifs: Use smb 2 - 3 and cifsacl mount options getacl functions")
Fixes: 366ed846df60 ("cifs: Use smb 2 - 3 and cifsacl mount options setacl function")
Signed-off-by: Shuhao Fu <sfual@cse.ust.hk>

Change in v2:
1. improved patch wording
2. nicer goto label naming
