As with Linux nfs client, which uses "nfsvers=" or "vers=" to
indicate which protocol to use for mount, specifying
"vers=2.1"
will force an SMB2 mount. When vers is not specified CIFS is used
"vers=1"
We can eventually autonegotiate down from SMB2 to CIFS
when SMB2 is stable enough to make it the default, but this
is for the future. At that time we could also implement a
"maxprotocol" mount option as smbclient and Samba have today,
but that would be premature until SMB2 is stable.
Intially the SMB2 Kconfig option will depend on "BROKEN"
until the merge is complete, and then be "EXPERIMENTAL"
When it is no longer experimental we can consider changing
the default protocol to attempt first.

SMB2 is the followon to the CIFS (and SMB) protocols
and the default for Windows since Windows Vista, and also
now implemented by various non-Windows servers. SMB2
is more secure, has various performance advantages, including
larger i/o sizes, flow control, better caching model and more.
SMB2 also resolves some scalability limits in the CIFS
protocol and adds many new features while being much
simpler (only a few dozen commands instead of hundreds)
and since the protocol is clearer it is also more consistently
implemented across servers and thus easier to optimize.
After much discussion with Jeff Layton, Jeremy Allison
and others at Connectathon, we decided to move the SMB2
code from a distinct .ko and fstype into distinct
C files that optionally build in cifs.ko. As a result
the Kconfig gets simpler.
To avoid destabilizing CIFS, the SMB2 code is going
to be moved into its own experimental CONFIG_CIFS_SMB2 ifdef
as it is merged and rereviewed. The changes to stable
CIFS (builds with the SMB2 ifdef off) are expected to be
fairly small.

As observed and suggested by Tushar Gosavi...
---------
readdir calls these function to send TRANS2_FIND_FIRST and
TRANS2_FIND_NEXT command to the server. The current cifs module is
not specifying CIFS_SEARCH_BACKUP_SEARCH flag while sending these
command when backupuid/backupgid is specified. This can be resolved
by specifying CIFS_SEARCH_BACKUP_SEARCH flag.

CIFS brlock cache can be used by several file handles if we have a

Currently, we have several mount options that control cifs' cache
behavior, but those options aren't considered to be mutually exclusive.
The result is poorly-defined when someone specifies more than one of
these options at mount time.
Fix this by adding a new cache= mount option that will supercede
"strictcache", and "forcedirectio". That will help make it clear that
these options are mutually exclusive. Also, change the legacy options to
be mutually exclusive too, to ensure that users don't get surprises.

Convert cifs_iovec_read to use async I/O. This also raises the limit on
the rsize for uncached reads. We first allocate a set of pages to hold
the replies, then issue the reads in parallel and then collect the
replies and copy the results into the iovec.
A possible future optimization would be to kmap and inline the iovec
buffers and read the data directly from the socket into that. That would
require some rather complex conversion of the iovec into a kvec however.

Pull btrfs fixes from Chris Mason:
"The big ones here are a memory leak we introduced in rc1, and a
scheduling while atomic if the transid on disk doesn't match the
transid we expected. This happens for corrupt blocks, or out of date

It also fixes up the ioctl definition for our ioctl to resolve logical
inode numbers. The __u32 was a merging error and doesn't match what
we ship in the progs."

btrfs: Fix mismatching struct members in ioctl.h
Btrfs: fix page leak when allocing extent buffers
Btrfs: Add properly locking around add_root_to_dirty_list
|
|
verify_parent_transid needs to lock the extent range to make
sure no IO is underway, and so it can safely clear the
uptodate bits if our checks fail.
But, a few callers are using it with spinlocks held. Most
of the time, the generation numbers are going to match, and
we don't want to switch to a blocking lock just for the error
case. This adds an atomic flag to verify_parent_transid,
and changes it to return EAGAIN if it needs to block to
properly verifiy things.

It turns out that there are more cases than CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC that
can have holes in the kernel address space: it seems to happen easily
with Xen, and it looks like the AMD gart64 code will also punch holes
dynamically.
Actually hitting that case is still very unlikely, so just do the
access, and take an exception and fix it up for the very unlikely case
of it being a page-crosser with no next page.
And hey, this abstraction might even help other architectures that have
other issues with unaligned word accesses than the possible missing next
page. IOW, this could do the byte order magic too.

When revalidating a dentry, if the inode wasn't known to be a dfs
entry when the dentry was instantiated, such as when created via
->readdir(), the DCACHE_NEED_AUTOMOUNT flag needs to be set on the
dentry in ->d_revalidate().
The false return from cifs_d_revalidate(), due to the inode now
being marked with the S_AUTOMOUNT flag, might not invalidate the
dentry if there is a concurrent unlazy path walk. This is because
the dentry reference count will be at least 2 in this case causing
d_invalidate() to return EBUSY. So the asumption that the dentry
will be discarded then correctly instantiated via ->lookup() might
not hold.

While testing, I've found that even when we are able to negotiate a
much larger rsize with the server, on-the-wire reads often end up being
capped at 128k because of ra_pages being capped at that level.
Lifting this restriction gave almost a twofold increase in sequential
read performance on my craptactular KVM test rig with a 1M rsize.
I think this is safe since the actual ra_pages that the VM requests
is run through max_sane_readahead() prior to submitting the I/O. Under
memory pressure we should end up with large readahead requests being
suppressed anyway.
