Steve, Pavel, This is a fix for the lease breaks for the cached handles as Pavel reported for a93864d93977. The fix is adding a kref for the handle structure and we get/put this kref while holding a mutex for the structure. Once the last reference is dropped we close the handle and flag it no longer being valid. Upon next open_shroot the handle will be reopened again. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-cifs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
