+Subject: [PATCH] cifs: fix dentry refcount leak when opening a FIFO on lookup
+
+The cifs code will attempt to open files on lookup under certain
+circumstances. What happens though if we find that the file we opened
+was actually a FIFO or other special file?
+
+Currently, the open filehandle just ends up being leaked leading to
+a dentry refcount mismatch and oops on umount. Fix this by having the
+code close the filehandle on the server if it turns out not to be a
+regular file. While we're at it, change this spaghetti if statement
+into a switch too.
