Handle mismatched open calls
A signal can interrupt a SendReceive call which result in incoming
responses to the call being ignored. This is a problem for calls such as
open which results in the successful response being ignored. This
results in an open file resource on the server.
The patch looks into responses which were cancelled after being sent and
in case of successful open closes the open fids.
For this patch, the check is only done in SendReceive2()

Can you provide a link to the upstream bug fix? Because I am still experiencing this after upgrading to 7.5, and someone else also has verified that it happens to them.

That bug is already in upstream and has been backported to rhel7.5.

The result is phantom files (and parent directories) that can't be deleted/moved/renamed because the server thinks there is someone still keeping it open.

Note that the above bug report has been assigned to cifs-utils but I don't think this is a user-space issue. I would appreciate any suggestions on how to address this.
