cifs: delay super block destruction until all cifsFileInfo objects ar…
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history

cifsFileInfo objects hold references to dentries and it is possible that
these will still be around in workqueues when VFS decides to kill super
block during unmount.

This results in panics like this one:
BUG: Dentry ffff88001f5e76c0{i=66b4a,n=1M-2} still in use (1) [unmount of cifs cifs]
------------[ cut here ]------------
kernel BUG at fs/dcache.c:943!

Process umount (pid: 1781, threadinfo ffff88003d6e8000, task ffff880035eeaec0)

Fix this by making each cifsFileInfo object hold a reference to cifs
super block, which implicitly keeps VFS super block around as well.
