This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled cifs: release cached dentries only if mount is complete to the 5.17-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: cifs-release-cached-dentries-only-if-mount-is-comple.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.17 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit b05b16c6bb5133c5b925b435bfe76267527a43b6 Author: Shyam Prasad N <sprasad@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Apr 1 06:25:17 2022 +0000 cifs: release cached dentries only if mount is complete [ Upstream commit d788e51636462e61c6883f7d96b07b06bc291650 ] During cifs_kill_sb, we first dput all the dentries that we have cached. However this function can also get called for mount failures. So dput the cached dentries only if the filesystem mount is complete. i.e. cifs_sb->root is populated.
