Subject: [PATCH v2] cifs: remove unnecessary copies of tcon->crfid.fid

pfid is being set to tcon->crfid.fid and they are copied in each other
multiple times. Remove the memcopy between same pointers - memory
locations.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Overlapped copy")
Fixes: 9e81e8ff74b9 ("cifs: return cached_fid from open_shroot")

Changes in V2:
refcount increment is necessary. Don't remove it.
Add and improve comments.

Hi,

This is better I think.

This comment is misleading. crfid variable doesn't exist anymore, and
the kref_get() here is because of this commit:

commit 2f94a3125b87
Author: Ronnie Sahlberg <[email protected]>
Date: Thu Mar 28 11:20:02 2019 +1000

cifs: fix kref underflow in close_shroot()

[...]
--> This extra get() is only used to hold the structure until we get a lease
--> break from the server at which point we will kref_put() it during lease
--> processing.
[...]



When we queue a lease break, we usually get() the cifsFileInfo, but if
that cifsFileInfo is backed by a cached_fid, the cached_fid isn't
bumped. That commit was probably a work around for that.

@Ronnie :

struct cached_fid is starting to look very much like struct
cifsFileInfo. I wonder why we couldn't use it, along with
find_writable_file()/find_readable_file() to handle the caching.

Alternatively, make cifsFileInfo use cached_fid (perhaps renaming it in
the process, I don't know)

Because I suspect a lot more issues will come up regarding cached_fid
refcount and cifsFileInfo refcount going out of sync otherwise.

Cheers,

I changed the comment to

+ /*
+ * See commit 2f94a3125b87. Increment the refcount when we
+ * get a lease for root, release it if lease break occurs
+ */

and added Aurelien's Reviewed-by. Let me know if you see any
additional problems.
