Subject: cifs: We do not drop reference to tlink in CIFSCheckMFSymlink()
From: Sachin Prabhu <sprabhu@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 750b8de6c4277d7034061e1da50663aa1b0479e4 upstream.
When we obtain tcon from cifs_sb, we use cifs_sb_tlink() to first obtain
tlink which also grabs a reference to it. We do not drop this reference
to tlink once we are done with the call.
The patch fixes this issue by instead passing tcon as a parameter and
avoids having to obtain a reference to the tlink. A lookup for the tcon
is already made in the calling functions and this way we avoid having to
re-run the lookup. This is also consistent with the argument list for
other similar calls for M-F symlinks.
We should also return an ENOSYS when we do not find a protocol specific
function to lookup the MF Symlink data.
