Assuming - //HOST/a is mounted on /mnt - //HOST/b is mounted on /mnt/b On a slow connection, running 'df' and killing it while it's processing /mnt/b can make cifs_get_inode_info() returns -ERESTARTSYS. This triggers the following chain of events: => the dentry revalidation fail => dentry is put and released => superblock associated with the dentry is put => /mnt/b is unmounted This patch makes cifs_d_revalidate() return the error instead of 0 (invalid) when cifs_revalidate_dentry() fails, except for ENOENT (file deleted) and ESTALE (file recreated).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
