Pavel Shilovsky d4ffff1fa9 CIFS: Add rwpidforward mount option
Add rwpidforward mount option that switches on a mode when we forward
pid of a process who opened a file to any read and write operation.

This can prevent applications like WINE from failing on read or write
operation on a previously locked file region from the same netfd from
another process if we use mandatory brlock style.

It is actual for WINE because during a run of WINE program two processes
work on the same netfd - share the same file struct between several VFS
fds:
1) WINE-server does open and lock;
2) WINE-application does read and write.

Steve French c52a95545c Don't compile in unused reparse point symlink code
Recent Windows versions now create symlinks more frequently
and they do use this "reparse point" symlink mechanism.  We can of course
do symlinks nicely to Samba and other servers which support the
CIFS Unix Extensions and we can also do SFU symlinks and "client only"
"MF" symlinks optionally, but for recent Windows we currently can not
handle the common "reparse point" symlinks fully, removing the caller
for this. We will need to extend and reenable this "reparse point" worker
code in cifs and fix cifs_symlink to call this.  In the interim this code
has been moved to its own config option so it is not compiled in by default
until cifs_symlink fixed up (and tested) to use this.

Jeff Layton bdf1b03e09 cifs: replace /proc/fs/cifs/Experimental with a module parm
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.

Suresh Jayaraman 6d20e8406f cifs: add attribute cache timeout (actimeo) tunable
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.

Changes since last post:
   - fix option parsing and handle possible values correcly

Steve French be652445fd [CIFS] Add new nostrictsync cifs mount option to avoid slow SMB flush
If this mount option is set, when an application does an
fsync call then the cifs client does not send an SMB Flush
to the server (to force the server to write all dirty data
for this file immediately to disk), although cifs still sends
all dirty (cached) file data to the server and waits for the
server to respond to the write write.  Since SMB Flush can be
very slow, and some servers may be reliable enough (to risk
delaying slightly flushing the data to disk on the server),
turning on this option may be useful to improve performance for
applications that fsync too much, at a small risk of server
crash.  If this mount option is not set, by default cifs will
send an SMB flush request (and wait for a response) on every
fsync call.

Steve French 13a6e42af8 [CIFS] add mount option to send mandatory rather than advisory locks
Some applications/subsystems require mandatory byte range locks
(as is used for Windows/DOS/OS2 etc). Sending advisory (posix style)
byte range lock requests (instead of mandatory byte range locks) can
lead to problems for these applications (which expect that other
clients be prevented from writing to portions of the file which
they have locked and are updating).  This mount option allows
mounting cifs with the new mount option "forcemand" (or
"forcemandatorylock") in order to have the cifs client use mandatory
byte range locks (ie SMB/CIFS/Windows/NTFS style locks) rather than
posix byte range lock requests, even if the server would support
posix byte range lock requests.  This has no effect if the server
does not support the CIFS Unix Extensions (since posix style locks
require support for the CIFS Unix Extensions), but for mounts
to Samba servers this can be helpful for Wine and applications
that require mandatory byte range locks.

fcntl(F_SETLEASE) currently is not exported by cifs (nor by local file
systems) so cifs grants leases based on how other local processes have
opened the file not by whether the file is cacheable (oplocked).  This
adds the check to make sure that the file is cacheable on the client
before checking whether we can grant the lease locally
(generic_setlease).  It also adds a mount option for cifs (locallease)
if the user wants to override this and try to grant leases even
if the server did not grant oplock.

even if the server claims, that it supports it.

Jeff Layton cea218054a [CIFS] Fix potential data corruption when writing out cached dirty pages
Fix RedHat bug 329431

The idea here is separate "conscious" from "unconscious" flushes.
Conscious flushes are those due to a fsync() or close(). Unconscious
ones are flushes that occur as a side effect of some other operation or
due to memory pressure.

Currently, when an error occurs during an unconscious flush (ENOSPC or
EIO), we toss out the page and don't preserve that error to report to
the user when a conscious flush occurs. If after the unconscious flush,
there are no more dirty pages for the inode, the conscious flush will
simply return success even though there were previous errors when writing
out pages. This can lead to data corruption.

The easiest way to reproduce this is to mount up a CIFS share that's
very close to being full or where the user is very close to quota. mv
a file to the share that's slightly larger than the quota allows. The
writes will all succeed (since they go to pagecache). The mv will do a
setattr to set the new file's attributes. This calls
filemap_write_and_wait,
which will return an error since all of the pages can't be written out.
Then later, when the flush and release ops occur, there are no more
dirty pages in pagecache for the file and those operations return 0. mv
then assumes that the file was written out correctly and deletes the
original.

CIFS already has a write_behind_rc variable where it stores the results
from earlier flushes, but that value is only reported in cifs_close.
Since the VFS ignores the return value from the release operation, this
isn't helpful. We should be reporting this error during the flush
operation.

This patch does the following:

1) changes cifs_fsync to use filemap_write_and_wait and cifs_flush and also
sync to check its return code. If it returns successful, they then check
the value of write_behind_rc to see if an earlier flush had reported any
errors. If so, they return that error and clear write_behind_rc.

2) sets write_behind_rc in a few other places where pages are written
out as a side effect of other operations and the code waits on them.

3) changes cifs_setattr to only call filemap_write_and_wait for
ATTR_SIZE changes.

4) makes cifs_writepages accurately distinguish between EIO and ENOSPC
errors when writing out pages.

Some simple testing indicates that the patch works as expected and that
it fixes the reproduceable known problem.

Jeff Layton 8426c39c12 [CIFS] Make sec=none force an anonymous mount
We had a customer report that attempting to make CIFS mount with a null
username (i.e. doing an anonymous mount) doesn't work. Looking through the
code, it looks like CIFS expects a NULL username from userspace in order
to trigger an anonymous mount. The mount.cifs code doesn't seem to ever
pass a null username to the kernel, however.

It looks also like the kernel can take a sec=none option, but it only seems
to look at it if the username is already NULL. This seems redundant and
effectively makes sec=none useless.

The following patch makes sec=none force an anonymous mount.

they still wanted).   The changeset patch allows users to override uid

Also cleans up code by adding some of the missing spaces after
"if" keywords per-kernel style guidelines (as suggested by Randy Dunlap
