A variable that is allocated and freed without use should ring a bell to look closer at the code. There's a bit of history behind new_options, originally there was save/replace options on the VFS layer so the 'data' passed must not change (thus strdup), this got cleaned up in later patches. But not completely. There's no reason to do the strdup in cases where the filesystem does not need to reuse the 'data' again, because strsep would modify it directly. So new_opts should be removed.
