commit09eeb0723fupstream. parse_server_interfaces should be in complete charge of maintaining the iface_list linked list. Today, iface entries are removed from the list only when the last refcount is dropped. i.e. in release_iface. However, this can result in undercounting of refcount if the server stops advertising interfaces (which Azure SMB server does). This change puts parse_server_interfaces in full charge of maintaining the iface_list. So if an empty list is returned by the server, the entries in the list will immediately be removed. This way, a following call to the same function will not find entries in the list.

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.
