Deadstore detected by Lukas Bulwahn's CodeChecker Tool (ELISA group).

line 741 struct cifsInodeInfo *cinode;
line 747 cinode = CIFS_I(d_inode(cfile->dentry));
could be deleted.

cinode on filesystem should not be deleted when files are closed, they are representations of some data fields on a physical disk, thus no further action is required.
The virtual inode on vfs will be handled by vfs automatically, and the denotation is inode, which is different from the cinode.

That's better but:
* the subject (first line of commit msg) should be about what the patch
  actually does, usally with a prefix of the subsystem. So for example:
  cifs: remove deadstore in cifs_close_all_deferred_files()
* the body of the commit msg should be wrapped around 80 cols to avoid
  long lines unless you are quoting some output or urls

Cheers,
