From: piaojun <piaojun@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: net/9p/client.c: put refcount of trans_mod in error case in parse_opts() In my testing, the second mount will fail after umounting successfully. The reason is that we put refcount of trans_mod in the correct case rather than the error case in parse_opts() at last. That will cause the refcount decrease to -1, and when we try to get trans_mod again in try_module_get(), we could only increase refcount to 0 which will cause failure as follows: parse_opts v9fs_get_trans_by_name try_module_get : return NULL to caller which cause error So we should put refcount of trans_mod in error case.
