Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

cifs: Fix memory leak on the deferred close

xfstests on smb21 report kmemleak as below:

unreferenced object 0xffff8881767d6200 (size 64):
comm "xfs_io", pid 1284, jiffies 4294777434 (age 20.789s)
hex dump (first 32 bytes):

When cancel the deferred close work, we should also cleanup the struct
cifs_deferred_close.
