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.

and removes the dead readlink code (after noting where in

Change CIFSSMBUnixQuerySymLink to use the new unicode helper functions.
Also change the calling conventions so that the allocation of the target

Some versions of Samba (3.2-pre e.g.) are stricter about checking to make sure that
paths in DFS name spaces are sent in the form \\server\share\dir\subdir ...
instead of \dir\subdir

Shirish Pargaonkar noted:
With cifsacl mount option, when a file is created on the Windows server,
exclusive oplock is broken right away because the get cifs acl code
again opens the file to obtain security descriptor.
The client does not have the newly created file handle or inode in any
of its lists yet so it does not respond to oplock break and server waits for
its duration and then responds to the second open. This slows down file
creation signficantly. The fix is to pass the file descriptor to the get
cifsacl code wherever available so that get cifs acl code does not send
second open (NT Create ANDX) and oplock is not broken.

Previously the only way to do this was to umount all mounts to that server,
turn off a proc setting (/proc/fs/cifs/LinuxExtensionsEnabled).

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
harder to read.

atime flag was also overwritten. Noticed by Shirish when he was debugging
an atime problem. Should help performance a bit too.
cifs should be getting time stamps from the server (that was the original
intent too)

This bug could cause oopses and page state corruption, because ncpfs
used the generic page-cache symlink handlign functions. But those
functions only work if the page cache is guaranteed to be "stable", ie a
page that was installed when the symlink walk was started has to still
be installed in the page cache at the end of the walk.
We could have fixed ncpfs to not use the generic helper routines, but it
is in many ways much cleaner to instead improve on the symlink walking
helper routines so that they don't require that absolute stability.
We do this by allowing "follow_link()" to return a error-pointer as a
cookie, which is fed back to the cleanup "put_link()" routine. This
also simplifies NFS symlink handling.

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!
