Sounds like a bug, but I'm not sure if it's in CIFS or even in the
kernel.


Just before cifs_put_super is called, looks like something did a statfs call.


...and then the last reference to the superblock was put. I can't be
certain, but it seems plausible that something in userspace is
triggering a umount. What may be interesting is to boot the box into
single-user mode and redo the mount. Does it still end up unmounted
after a little while?

It also could be a matter of more vfsmount references being put than
"got", possibly with the last reference being put in the statfs
codepath above. This would be the first I've heard of such a problem
however and would probably not be a cifs-specific issue.
