Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
in module refcount underflow.
We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
and ->data.
But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
some thoughts.
->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
protection.
rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
We definitely don't want such modular code.
Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.
So, let's nuke it.
Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.

In contrast to the now-obsolete smbfs, cifs does not send SMB_COM_FLUSH
in response to an explicit fsync(2) to guarantee that all volatile data
is written to stable storage on the server side, provided the server
honors the request (which, to my knowledge, is true for Windows and
Samba with 'strict sync' enabled).
This patch modifies the cifs_fsync implementation to restore the
fsync-behavior of smbfs by triggering SMB_COM_FLUSH after sending
outstanding data on the client side to the server.

Use a similar approach to the SMB session sharing. Add a list of tcons
attached to each SMB session. Move the refcount to non-atomic. Protect
all of the above with the cifs_tcp_ses_lock. Add functions to
properly find and put references to the tcons.

We do this by abandoning the global list of SMB sessions and instead
moving to a per-server list. This entails adding a new list head to the
TCP_Server_Info struct. The refcounting for the cifsSesInfo is moved to
a non-atomic variable. We have to protect it by a lock anyway, so there's
no benefit to making it an atomic. The list and refcount are protected
by the global cifs_tcp_ses_lock.
The patch also adds a new routines to find and put SMB sessions and
that properly take and put references under the lock.

The code that allows these structs to be shared is extremely racy.
Disable the sharing of SMB and tcon structs for now until we can
come up with a way to do this that's race free.
We want to continue to share TCP sessions, however since they are
required for multiuser mounts. For that, implement a new (hopefully
race-free) scheme. Add a new global list of TCP sessions, and take
care to get a reference to it whenever we're dealing with one.

Also adds two lines missing from the previous patch (for the need reconnect flag in the
/proc/fs/cifs/DebugData handling)
The new global_cifs_sock_list is added, and initialized in init_cifs but not used yet.
Jeff Layton will be adding code in to use that and to remove the GlobalTcon and GlobalSMBSession
lists.

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.

Fixes two problems:
1) we dropped down to negotiating lanman if we did not recognize the
mechanism (krb5 e.g.)
2) we did not stop cifsd (thus will fail when doing rmod cifs with
slab free errors) when we fail tcon but have a bad session (which is
the case in which signing is required but we don't allow signing on
the client)
It also turns on extended security flag in the header when passing
"sec=krb5" on mount command (although kerberos support is not done of
course)

This should be the last big batch of whitespace/formatting fixes.
checkpatch warnings for the cifs directory are down about 90% and
many of the remaining ones are harder to remove or make the code

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
