If smb2_open()\nthen takes a later error path, cleanup first calls ksmbd_fd_put(work, fp)\nand then unconditionally calls ksmbd_put_durable_fd(dh_info.fp).\n\nIn this case fp and dh_info.fp are the same object. The first put drops the\nreconnect lookup reference, but the final durable put can run\n__ksmbd_close_fd(NULL, fp). Because the final close is not session-aware,\nit can free the file object without removing the volatile-id entry that was\njust published into the session table.\n\nUse the session-aware put for the final reconnect drop when the reconnect\nhad already succeeded and the error path is cleaning up the republished\nfile. Earlier reconnect failures, before fp is assigned to dh_info.fp, keep\nusing the durable-only put path."
