    cifs: We do not drop reference to tlink in CIFSCheckMFSymlink() · 750b8de6
    Sachin Prabhu authored
    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.
