We have used approximately 15 second timeouts on nonblocking sends in the past, and
also 15 second SMB timeout (waiting for server responses, for most request types).
Now that we can do blocking tcp sends,
make blocking send timeout approximately the same (15 seconds).

cifs: turn smb_send into a wrapper around smb_sendv
Rename smb_send2 to smb_sendv to make it consistent with kernel naming
conventions for functions that take a vector.
There's no need to have 2 functions to handle sending SMB calls. Turn
smb_send into a wrapper around smb_sendv. This also allows us to
properly mark the socket as needing to be reconnected when there's a
partial send from smb_send.
Also, in practice we always use the address and noblocksnd flag
that's attached to the TCP_Server_Info. There's no need to pass
them in as separate args to smb_sendv.

cifs: fix wait_for_response to time out sleeping processes correctly
The current scheme that CIFS uses to sleep and wait for a response is
not quite what we want. After sending a request, wait_for_response puts
the task to sleep with wait_event(). One of the conditions for
wait_event is a timeout (using time_after()).
The problem with this is that there is no guarantee that the process
will ever be woken back up. If the server stops sending data, then
cifs_demultiplex_thread will leave its response queue sleeping.
I think the only thing that saves us here is the fact that
cifs_dnotify_thread periodically (every 15s) wakes up sleeping processes
on all response_q's that have calls in flight. This makes for
unnecessary wakeups of some processes. It also means large variability
in the timeouts since they're all woken up at once.
Instead of this, put the tasks to sleep with wait_event_timeout. This
makes them wake up on their own if they time out. With this change,
cifs_dnotify_thread should no longer be needed.
I've been testing this in conjunction with some other patches that I'm
working on. It doesn't seem to affect performance at all with with heavy
I/O. Identical iozone -ac runs complete in almost exactly the same time
(<1% difference in times).
Thanks to Wasrshi Nimara for initially pointing this out. Wasrshi, it
would be nice to know whether this patch also helps your testcase.

CIFS in some heavy stress conditions cifs could get EAGAIN
repeatedly in smb_send2 which led to repeated retries and eventually
failure of large writes which could lead to data corruption.
There are three changes that were suggested by various network
developers:
1) convert cifs from non-blocking to blocking tcp sendmsg
(we left in the retry on failure)
2) change cifs to not set sendbuf and rcvbuf size for the socket
(let tcp autotune the buffer sizes since that works much better
in the TCP stack now)
3) if we have a partial frame sent in smb_send2, mark the tcp
session as invalid (close the socket and reconnect) so we do
not corrupt the remaining part of the SMB with the beginning
of the next SMB.
This does not appear to hurt performance measurably and has
been run in various scenarios, but it definately removes
a corruption that we were seeing in some high stress
test cases.

In SendReceive() function in transport.c - it memcpy's
message payload into a buffer passed via out_buf param. The function
assumes that all buffers are of size (CIFSMaxBufSize +
MAX_CIFS_HDR_SIZE) , unfortunately it is also called with smaller
(MAX_CIFS_SMALL_BUFFER_SIZE) buffers. There are eight callers
(SMB worker functions) which are primarily affected by this change:
