Small change (mostly formatting) to limit lookup based open calls to
file create only.
After discussion yesteday on samba-technical about the posix lookup
regression, and looking at a problem with cifs posix open to one
particular Samba version, Jeff and JRA realized that Samba server's
behavior changed in this area (posix open behavior on files vs.
directories). To make this behavior consistent, JRA just made a
fix to Samba server to alter how it handles open of directories (now
returning the equivalent of EISDIR instead of success). Since we don't
know at lookup time whether the inode is a directory or file (and
thus whether posix open will succeed with most current Samba server),
this change avoids the posix open code on lookup open (just issues
posix open on creates). This gets the semantic benefits we want
(atomicity, posix byte range locks, improved write semantics on newly
created files) and file create still is fast, and we avoid the problem
that Jeff noticed yesterday with "openat" (and some open directory
calls) of non-cached directories to one version of Samba server, and
will work with future Samba versions (which include the fix jra just
pushed into Samba server). I confirmed this approach with jra
yesterday and with Shirish today.
Posix open is only called (at lookup time) for file create now.
For opens (rather than creates), because we do not know if it
is a file or directory yet, and current Samba no longer allows
us to do posix open on dirs, we could end up wasting an open call
on what turns out to be a dir. For file opens, we wait to call posix
open till cifs_open. It could be added here (lookup) in the future
but the performance tradeoff of the extra network request when EISDIR
or EACCES is returned would have to be weighed against the 50%
reduction in network traffic in the other paths.

This is the third respin of the patch posted yesterday to fix the error
handling in cifs_follow_symlink. It also includes a fix for a bogus NULL
pointer check in CIFSSMBQueryUnixSymLink that Jeff Moyer spotted.
It's possible for CIFSSMBQueryUnixSymLink to return without setting
target_path to a valid pointer. If that happens then the current value
to which we're initializing this pointer could cause an oops when it's
kfree'd.
This patch is a little more comprehensive than the last patches. It
reorganizes cifs_follow_link a bit for (hopefully) better readability.
It should also eliminate the uneeded allocation of full_path on servers
without unix extensions (assuming they can get to this point anyway, of
which I'm not convinced).
On a side note, I'm not sure I agree with the logic of enabling this
query even when unix extensions are disabled on the client. It seems
like that should disable this as well. But, changing that is outside the
scope of this fix, so I've left it alone for now.

The NTLMSSP code was removed from fs/cifs/connect.c and merged
(75% smaller, cleaner) into fs/cifs/sess.c
As with the old code it requires that cifs be built with
CONFIG_CIFS_EXPERIMENTAL, the /proc/fs/cifs/Experimental flag
must be set to 2, and mount must turn on extended security
(e.g. with sec=krb5).
Although NTLMSSP encapsulated in SPNEGO is not enabled yet,
"raw" ntlmssp is common and useful in some cases since it
offers more complete security negotiation, and is the
default way of negotiating security for many Windows systems.
SPNEGO encapsulated NTLMSSP will be able to reuse the same
code.

Instead of passing "max_len" to the string converter, pass "min(len,

Two years ago, when the session setup code in cifs was rewritten and moved
to fs/cifs/sess.c, we were asked to keep the old code for a release or so
(which could be reenabled at runtime) since it was such a large change and
because the asn (SPNEGO) and NTLMSSP code was not rewritten and needed to
be. This was useful to avoid regressions, but is long overdue to be removed.
Now that the Kerberos (asn/spnego) code is working in fs/cifs/sess.c,
and the NTLMSSP code moved (NTLMSSP blob setup be rewritten with the
next patch in this series) quite a bit of dead code from fs/cifs/connect.c
now can be removed.
This old code should have been removed last year, but the earlier krb5
patches did not move/remove the NTLMSSP code which we had asked to
be done first. Since no one else volunteered, I am doing it now.
It is extremely important that we continue to examine the documentation
for this area, to make sure our code continues to be uptodate with
changes since Windows 2003.

The handling of unicode string area alignment is wrong.
decode_unicode_ssetup improperly assumes that it will always be preceded
by a pad byte. This isn't the case if the string area is already
word-aligned.
This problem, combined with the bad buffer sizing for the serverDomain
string can cause memory corruption. The bad alignment can make it so
that the alignment of the characters is off. This can make them
translate to characters that are greater than 2 bytes each. If this
happens we can overflow the allocation.
Fix this by fixing the alignment in CIFS_SessSetup instead so we can
verify it against the head of the response. Also, clean up the
workaround for improperly terminated strings by checking for a
odd-length unicode buffers and then forcibly terminating them.
Finally, resize the buffer for serverDomain. Now that we've fixed
the alignment, it's probably fine, but a malicious server could
overflow it.
A better solution for handling these strings is still needed, but
this should be a suitable bandaid.

Al Viro recently removed the dir_notify code from the kernel along with

In actuality, it never had anything to do with dir_notify anyway. All
it did was unnecessarily wake up all the tasks waiting on the response
queues every 15s. Previously that happened to prevent tasks from hanging
indefinitely when the server went unresponsive, but we put those to
sleep with proper timeouts now so there's no reason to keep this around.

This is the fourth version of this patch:
The first three generated a compiler warning asking for explicit curly
braces.
The first two didn't handle update the size correctly when writes that
didn't start at the eof were done.
The first patch also didn't update the size correctly when it explicitly
set via truncate().
This patch adds code to track the client's current understanding of the
size of the file on the server separate from the i_size, and then to use
this info to semi-intelligently set the timeout for writes past the EOF.
This helps prevent timeouts when trying to write large, sparse files on
windows servers.
