From: Zhang Xiaoxu <[email protected]> commit 1dcdf5f5b2137185cbdd5385f29949ab3da4f00c upstream. If the tlink setup failed, lost to put the connections, then the module refcnt leak since the cifsd kthread not exit. Also leak the fscache info, and for next mount with fsc, it will print the follow errors: CIFS: Cache volume key already in use (cifs,127.0.0.1:445,TEST) Let's check the result of tlink setup, and do some cleanup.
