Thisresults in the currently-being-constructed cfid not being on the list,but still having a refcount of 2. It leaks if returned fromopen_cached_dir().Fix this by setting cfid->has_lease when the ref is actually taken; thecfid will not be used by other threads until it has a valid time.Addresses these kmemleaks:unreferenced object 0xffff8881090c4000 (size 1024): comm "bash", pid 1860, jiffies 4295126592 hex dump (first 32 bytes): 00 01 00 00 00 00 ad de 22 01 00 00 00 00 ad de ........"....... 00 ca 45 22 81 88 ff ff f8 dc 4f 04 81 88 ff ff ..E"......O..... backtrace (crc 6f58c20f): [] __kmalloc_cache_noprof+0x2be/0x350 [] open_cached_dir+0x993/0x1fb0 [] cifs_readdir+0x15a0/0x1d50 [] iterate_dir+0x28f/0x4b0 [] __x64_sys_getdents64+0xfd/0x200 [] do_syscall_64+0x95/0x1a0 [] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7eunreferenced object 0xffff8881044fdcf8 (size 8): comm "bash", pid 1860, jiffies 4295126592 hex dump (first 8 bytes): 00 cc cc cc cc cc cc cc ........ backtrace (crc 10c106a9): [] __kmalloc_node_track_caller_noprof+0x363/0x480 [] kstrdup+0x36/0x60 [] open_cached_dir+0x9b0/0x1fb0 [] cifs_readdir+0x15a0/0x1d50 [] iterate_dir+0x28f/0x4b0 [] __x64_sys_getdents64+0xfd/0x200 [] do_syscall_64+0x95/0x1a0 [] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7eAnd addresses these BUG splats when unmounting the SMB filesystem:BUG: Dentry ffff888140590ba0{i=1000000000080,n=/} still in use (2) [unmount of cifs cifs]WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 3433 at fs/dcache.c:1536 umount_check+0xd0/0x100Modules linked in:CPU: 3 UID: 0 PID: 3433 Comm: bash Not tainted 6.12.0-rc4-g850925a8133c-dirty #49Hardware name: VMware, Inc.
