Harmonize and change all such variables to 'ctx', where possible.
No changes to actual logic.

Use PathConsumed field when parsing prefixes of referral paths that
either match a cache entry or are a complete prefix path of an
existing entry.

For the case where we have a DFS path like below and we're currently
connected to targetA:
//dfsroot/link -> //targetA/share/foo, //targetB/share/bar
after failover, we should make sure to update cifs_sb->prepath so the
next operations will use the new prefix path "/bar".
Besides, in order to simplify the use of different prefix paths,
enforce CIFS_MOUNT_USE_PREFIX_PATH for DFS mounts so we don't have to
revalidate the root dentry every time we set a new prefix path.

As per MS-DFSC, when a DFS cache entry is expired and it is a DFS
link, then a new DFS referral must be sent to root server in order to
refresh the expired entry.
This patch ensures that all new DFS referrals for refreshing the cache
are sent to DFS root.

* Add new dfs_cache.[ch] files
* Add new /proc/fs/cifs/dfscache file
- dump current cache when read
- clear current cache when writing "0" to it
* Add delayed_work to periodically refresh cache entries
The new interface will be used for caching DFS referrals, as well as
supporting client target failover.
The DFS cache is a hashtable that maps UNC paths to cache entries.
A cache entry contains:
- the UNC path it is mapped on
- how much the the UNC path the entry consumes
- flags
- a Time-To-Live after which the entry expires
- a list of possible targets (linked lists of UNC paths)
- a "hint target" pointing the last known working target or the first
target if none were tried. This hint lets cifs.ko remember and try
working targets first.
* Looking for an entry in the cache is done with dfs_cache_find()
- if no valid entries are found, a DFS query is made, stored in the
cache and returned
- the full target list can be copied and returned to avoid race
conditions and looped on with the help with the
dfs_cache_tgt_iterator
* Updating the target hint to the next target is done with
dfs_cache_update_tgthint()
These functions have a dfs_cache_noreq_XXX() version that doesn't
fetches referrals if no entries are found. These versions don't
require the tcp/ses/tcon/cifs_sb parameters as a result.
Expired entries cannot be used and since they have a pretty short TTL
[1] in order for them to be useful for failover the DFS cache adds a
delayed work called periodically to keep them fresh.
Since we might not have available connections to issue the referral
request when refreshing we need to store volume_info structs with
credentials and other needed info to be able to connect to the right
server.

links
