Reviewed-by: Pavel Shilovsky <pshilovsky@samba.org>
SMB3 uses a much faster method of signing (which is also better in other ways),
AES-CMAC. With the kernel now supporting AES-CMAC since last release, we
are overdue to allow SMB3 signing (today only CIFS and SMB2 and SMB2.1,
but not SMB3 and SMB3.1 can sign) - and we need this also for checking
secure negotation and also per-share encryption (two other new SMB3 features
which we need to implement).
This patch needs some work in a few areas - for example we need to
move signing for SMB2/SMB3 from per-socket to per-user (we may be able to
use the "nosharesock" mount option in the interim for the multiuser case),
and Shirish found a bug in the earlier authentication overhaul
(setting signing flags properly) - but those can be done in followon
patches.

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.

Mark dependency on crypto modules in Kconfig.
Defining per structures sdesc and cifs_secmech which are used to store
crypto hash functions and contexts. They are stored per smb connection
and used for all auth mechs to genereate hash values and signatures.
Allocate crypto hashing functions, security descriptiors, and respective
contexts when a smb/tcp connection is established.
Release them when a tcp/smb connection is taken down.
md5 and hmac-md5 are two crypto hashing functions that are used
throught the life of an smb/tcp connection by various functions that
calcualte signagure and ntlmv2 hash, HMAC etc.
structure ntlmssp_auth is defined as per smb connection.
ntlmssp_auth holds ciphertext which is genereated by rc4/arc4 encryption of
secondary key, a nonce using ntlmv2 session key and sent in the session key
field of the type 3 message sent by the client during ntlmssp
negotiation/exchange
A key is exchanged with the server if client indicates so in flags in
type 1 messsage and server agrees in flag in type 2 message of ntlmssp
negotiation. If both client and agree, a key sent by client in
type 3 message of ntlmssp negotiation in the session key field.
The key is a ciphertext generated off of secondary key, a nonce, using
ntlmv2 hash via rc4/arc4.
Signing works for ntlmssp in this patch. The sequence number within
the server structure needs to be zero until session is established
i.e. till type 3 packet of ntlmssp exchange of a to be very first
smb session on that smb connection is sent.

Separate out the DNS resolver key type from the CIFS filesystem into its own
module so that it can be made available for general use, including the AFS
filesystem module.
This facility makes it possible for the kernel to upcall to userspace to have
it issue DNS requests, package up the replies and present them to the kernel
in a useful form. The kernel is then able to cache the DNS replies as keys
can be retained in keyrings.
Resolver keys are of type "dns_resolver" and have a case-insensitive
description that is of the form "[<type>:]<domain_name>". The optional <type>
indicates the particular DNS lookup and packaging that's required. The
<domain_name> is the query to be made.
If <type> isn't given, a basic hostname to IP address lookup is made, and the
result is stored in the key in the form of a printable string consisting of a
comma-separated list of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
This key type is supported by userspace helpers driven from /sbin/request-key
and configured through /etc/request-key.conf. The cifs.upcall utility is
invoked for UNC path server name to IP address resolution.
The CIFS functionality is encapsulated by the dns_resolve_unc_to_ip() function,
which is used to resolve a UNC path to an IP address for CIFS filesystem. This
part remains in the CIFS module for now.
See the added Documentation/networking/dns_resolver.txt for more information.

This is the fourth respin of the patch to convert oplock breaks to
use the slow_work facility.
A customer of ours was testing a backport of one of the earlier
patchsets, and hit a "Busy inodes after umount..." problem. An oplock
break job had raced with a umount, and the superblock got torn down and
its memory reused. When the oplock break job tried to dereference the
inode->i_sb, the kernel oopsed.
This patchset has the oplock break job hold an inode and vfsmount
reference until the oplock break completes. With this, there should be
no need to take a tcon reference (the vfsmount implicitly holds one
already).
Currently, when an oplock break comes in there's a chance that the
oplock break job won't occur if the allocation of the oplock_q_entry
fails. There are also some rather nasty races in the allocation and
handling these structs.
Rather than allocating oplock queue entries when an oplock break comes
in, add a few extra fields to the cifsFileInfo struct. Get rid of the
dedicated cifs_oplock_thread as well and queue the oplock break job to
the slow_work thread pool.
This approach also has the advantage that the oplock break jobs can
potentially run in parallel rather than be serialized like they are
today.
