From 6ab409b53dcaf28f83d518a6702f904b7cee3f41 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Kleikamp Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2009 11:07:12 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] cifs: Replace wrtPending with a real reference count Currently, cifs_close() tries to wait until all I/O is complete and then frees the file private data. If I/O does not completely in a reasonable amount of time it frees the structure anyway, leaving a potential use- after-free situation. This patch changes the wrtPending counter to a complete reference count and lets the last user free the structure.
