In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cifs: fix handlecache and multiuser
In multiuser each individual user has their own tcon structure for the
share and thus their own handle for a cached directory.
When we umount such a share we much make sure to release the pinned down dentry
for each such tcon and not just the master tcon.
Otherwise we will get nasty warnings on umount that dentries are still in use:
