Shirish Pargaonkar noted:
With cifsacl mount option, when a file is created on the Windows server,
exclusive oplock is broken right away because the get cifs acl code
again opens the file to obtain security descriptor.
The client does not have the newly created file handle or inode in any
of its lists yet so it does not respond to oplock break and server waits for
its duration and then responds to the second open. This slows down file
creation signficantly. The fix is to pass the file descriptor to the get
cifsacl code wherever available so that get cifs acl code does not send
second open (NT Create ANDX) and oplock is not broken.

This patch fixes an error in the experimental cifs acl code. During chmod,
set security descriptor data (num aces) is not sent with little-endian encoding.

Christoph had noticed too many ifdefs in the CIFS code making it
hard to read. This patch removes about a quarter of them from
the C files in cifs by improving a few key ifdefs in the .h files.

access_flags_to_mode() gets on-the-wire data (little-endian) and treats
it as host-endian.

When mounted with the cifsacl mount option, we were
treating any deny ACEs found like allow ACEs and it turns out for
SFU and SUA Windows set these type of access control entries often.
The order of ACEs is important too. The canonical order that most
ACL tools and Windows explorer consruct ACLs with is to begin with
DENY entries then follow with ALLOW, otherwise an allow entry
could be encountered first, making the subsequent deny entry like "dead
code which would be superflous since Windows stops when a match is
made for the operation you are trying to perform for your user
We start with no permissions in the mode and build up as we find
permissions (ie allow ACEs). This fixes deny ACEs so they affect
the mask used to set the subsequent allow ACEs.

We were requesting GENERIC_READ but that fails when we do not have
read permission on the file (even if we could read the ACL).
Also move the dump access control entry code into debug ifdef.

Part 9 of ACL patch series. getting mode from ACL now works in

Now GetACL in getinodeinfo path when cifsacl mount option used, and
ACL is parsed for SIDs. Missing only one piece now to be able
to retrieve the mode
