This\nresults in the currently-being-constructed cfid not being on the list,\nbut still having a refcount of 2. It leaks if returned from\nopen_cached_dir().\n\nFix this by setting cfid->has_lease when the ref is actually taken; the\ncfid will not be used by other threads until it has a valid time.\n\nAddresses these kmemleaks:\n\nunreferenced object 0xffff8881090c4000 (size 1024):\n  comm \"bash\", pid 1860, jiffies 4295126592\n  hex dump (first 32 bytes):\n    00 01 00 00 00 00 ad de 22 01 00 00 00 00 ad de  ........\".......\n    00 ca 45 22 81 88 ff ff f8 dc 4f 04 81 88 ff ff  ..E\"......O.....\n  backtrace (crc 6f58c20f):\n    [<ffffffff8b895a1e>] __kmalloc_cache_noprof+0x2be/0x350\n    [<ffffffff8bda06e3>] open_cached_dir+0x993/0x1fb0\n    [<ffffffff8bdaa750>] cifs_readdir+0x15a0/0x1d50\n    [<ffffffff8b9a853f>] iterate_dir+0x28f/0x4b0\n    [<ffffffff8b9a9aed>] __x64_sys_getdents64+0xfd/0x200\n    [<ffffffff8cf6da05>] do_syscall_64+0x95/0x1a0\n    [<ffffffff8d00012f>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e\nunreferenced object 0xffff8881044fdcf8 (size 8):\n  comm \"bash\", pid 1860, jiffies 4295126592\n  hex dump (first 8 bytes):\n    00 cc cc cc cc cc cc cc                          ........\n  backtrace (crc 10c106a9):\n    [<ffffffff8b89a3d3>] __kmalloc_node_track_caller_noprof+0x363/0x480\n    [<ffffffff8b7d7256>] kstrdup+0x36/0x60\n    [<ffffffff8bda0700>] open_cached_dir+0x9b0/0x1fb0\n    [<ffffffff8bdaa750>] cifs_readdir+0x15a0/0x1d50\n    [<ffffffff8b9a853f>] iterate_dir+0x28f/0x4b0\n    [<ffffffff8b9a9aed>] __x64_sys_getdents64+0xfd/0x200\n    [<ffffffff8cf6da05>] do_syscall_64+0x95/0x1a0\n    [<ffffffff8d00012f>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e\n\nAnd addresses these BUG splats when unmounting the SMB filesystem:\n\nBUG: Dentry ffff888140590ba0{i=1000000000080,n=/}  still in use (2) [unmount of cifs cifs]\nWARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 3433 at fs/dcache.c:1536 umount_check+0xd0/0x100\nModules linked in:\nCPU: 3 UID: 0 PID: 3433 Comm: bash Not tainted 6.12.0-rc4-g850925a8133c-dirty #49\nHardware name: VMware, Inc.
