Currently, we take a sb->s_active reference and a cifsFileInfo reference
when an oplock break workqueue job is queued. This is unnecessary and
more complicated than it needs to be. Also as Al points out,
deactivate_super has non-trivial locking implications so it's best to
avoid that if we can.
Instead, just cancel any pending oplock breaks for this filehandle
synchronously in cifsFileInfo_put after taking it off the lists.
That should ensure that this job doesn't outlive the structures it
depends on.

It is actual for WINE because during a run of WINE program two processes

Minor revision to the last version of this patch -- the only difference
is the fix to the cFYI statement in cifs_reconnect.
Holding the spinlock while we call this function means that it can't
sleep, which really limits what it can do. Taking it out from under
the spinlock also means less contention for this global lock.
Change the semantics such that the Global_MidLock is not held when
the callback is called. To do this requires that we take extra care
not to have sync_mid_result remove the mid from the list when the
mid is in a state where that has already happened. This prevents
list corruption when the mid is sitting on a private list for
reconnect or when cifsd is coming down.

This is more or less the same patch as before, but with some merge
conflicts fixed up.
If a process has a dirty page mapped into its page tables, then it has
the ability to change it while the client is trying to write the data
out to the server. If that happens after the signature has been
calculated then that signature will then be wrong, and the server will
likely reset the TCP connection.
This patch adds a page_mkwrite handler for CIFS that simply takes the
page lock. Because the page lock is held over the life of writepage and
writepages, this prevents the page from becoming writeable until
the write call has completed.
With this, we can also remove the "sign_zero_copy" module option and
always inline the pages when writing.

When the TCP_Server_Info is first allocated and connected, tcpStatus ==
CifsGood means that the NEGOTIATE_PROTOCOL request has completed and the
socket is ready for other calls. cifs_reconnect however sets tcpStatus
to CifsGood as soon as the socket is reconnected and the optional
RFC1001 session setup is done. We have no clear way to tell the
difference between these two states, and we need to know this in order
to know whether we can send an echo or not.
Resolve this by adding a new statusEnum value -- CifsNeedNegotiate. When
the socket has been connected but has not yet had a NEGOTIATE_PROTOCOL
request done, set it to this value. Once the NEGOTIATE is done,
cifs_negotiate_protocol will set tcpStatus to CifsGood.
This also fixes and cleans the logic in cifs_reconnect and
cifs_reconnect_tcon. The old code checked for specific states when what
it really wants to know is whether the state has actually changed from
CifsNeedReconnect.

This flag currently only affects whether we allow "zero-copy" writes
with signing enabled. Typically we map pages in the pagecache directly
into the write request. If signing is enabled however and the contents
of the page change after the signature is calculated but before the
write is sent then the signature will be wrong. Servers typically
respond to this by closing down the socket.
Still, this can provide a performance benefit so the "Experimental" flag
was overloaded to allow this. That's really not a good place for this
option however since it's not clear what that flag does.
Move that flag instead to a new module parameter that better describes
its purpose. That's also better since it can be set at module insertion
time by configuring modprobe.d.

Slight revision to this patch...use min_t() instead of conditional
assignment. Also, remove the FIXME comment and replace it with the
explanation that Steve gave earlier.
After receiving a packet, we currently check the header. If it's no
good, then we toss it out and continue the loop, leaving the caller
waiting on that response.
In cases where the packet has length inconsistencies, but the MID is
valid, this leads to unneeded delays. That's especially problematic now
that the client waits indefinitely for responses.
Instead, don't immediately discard the packet if checkSMB fails. Try to
find a matching mid_q_entry, mark it as having a malformed response and

Teach cifs about network namespaces, so mounting uses adresses/routing
visible from the container rather than from init context.
A container is a chroot on steroids that changes more than just the root
filesystem the new processes see. One thing containers can isolate is
"network namespaces", meaning each container can have its own set of
ethernet interfaces, each with its own own IP address and routing to the
outside world. And if you open a socket in _userspace_ from processes
within such a container, this works fine.
But sockets opened from within the kernel still use a single global
networking context in a lot of places, meaning the new socket's address
and routing are correct for PID 1 on the host, but are _not_ what
userspace processes in the container get to use.
So when you mount a network filesystem from within in a container, the
mount code in the CIFS driver uses the host's networking context and not
the container's networking context, so it gets the wrong address, uses
the wrong routing, and may even try to go out an interface that the
container can't even access... Bad stuff.
This patch copies the mount process's network context into the CIFS
structure that stores the rest of the server information for that mount
point, and changes the socket open code to use the saved network context
instead of the global network context. I.E. "when you attempt to use
these addresses, do so relative to THIS set of network interfaces and
routing rules, not the old global context from back before we supported
containers".
The big long HOWTO sets up a test environment on the assumption you've
never used ocntainers before. It basically says:
1) configure and build a new kernel that has container support
2) build a new root filesystem that includes the userspace container
control package (LXC)
3) package/run them under KVM (so you don't have to mess up your host
system in order to play with containers).
4) set up some containers under the KVM system
5) set up contradictory routing in the KVM system and the container so
that the host and the container see different things for the same address
6) try to mount a CIFS share from both contexts so you can both force it
to work and force it to fail.

Currently, the attribute cache timeout for CIFS is hardcoded to 1 second. This
means that the client might have to issue a QPATHINFO/QFILEINFO call every 1
second to verify if something has changes, which seems too expensive. On the
other hand, if the timeout is hardcoded to a higher value, workloads that
expect strict cache coherency might see unexpected results.
Making attribute cache timeout as a tunable will allow us to make a tradeoff
between performance and cache metadata correctness depending on the
application/workload needs.
Add 'actimeo' tunable that can be used to tune the attribute cache timeout.
The default timeout is set to 1 second. Also, display actimeo option value in
/proc/mounts.
It appears to me that 'actimeo' and the proposed (but not yet merged)
'strictcache' option cannot coexist, so care must be taken that we reset the
other option if one of them is set.

Radix trees are ideal when you want to track a bunch of pointers and
can't embed a tracking structure within the target of those pointers.
The tradeoff is an increase in memory, particularly if the tree is
sparse.
In CIFS, we use the tlink_tree to track tcon_link structs. A tcon_link
can never be in more than one tlink_tree, so there's no impediment to
using a rb_tree here instead of a radix tree.
Convert the new multiuser mount code to use a rb_tree instead. This

dropped and a the superblock teardown may proceed if there are no more
references to it.
