In doing some CIFS testing (utilizing it's feature to bind to local

to un-mount.

Our kernel is patched (nfs, some networking related patches), but there
are no out-of-kernel patches to CIFS, so I don't *think* this is anything
we could have caused.

This problem appears to be easily reproducible, so we will be happy
to test patches if anyone has any suggestions.

BUG: Dentry ffff8800c07e43c0{i=45762,n=cifs2-01.7.lf-data} still in use (1) [unmount of cifs cifs]

We encountered similar panic, but it was related to writes. In our case
the problem was that some cifsInodeInfo holding dentry references were
still around (in slow-work queue) during superblock destruction in unmount.

I reproduced the problem on 3.8 kernel (sorry, no 3.7 handy) with reads
as well, which should match your scenario.

I attached a patch that deals with this problem by grabbing refcounts to
cifs superblock on cifsInodeInfo creation. This delays sb destruction
until all cifsInodeInfos are gone. I didn't test it on 3.7.10 kernel but
it should work fine.

The 3.7.10 patch applied cleanly and appears to fix our problem.

Thanks so much for the patch!
