Various filesystem support the shutdown ioctl which is used by various
xfstests. The shutdown ioctl sets a flag on the superblock which
prevents open, unlink, symlink, hardlink, rmdir, create etc.
on the file system until unmount and remounted. The two flags supported
in this patch are:
FSOP_GOING_FLAGS_LOGFLUSH and FSOP_GOING_FLAGS_NOLOGFLUSH
which require very little other than blocking new operations (since
we do not cache writes to metadata on the client with cifs.ko).
FSOP_GOING_FLAGS_DEFAULT is not supported yet, but could be added in
the future but would need to call syncfs or equivalent to write out
pending data on the mount.
With this patch various xfstests now work including tests 043 through

We negotiate rsize mounts (and it can be overridden by user) to
typically 4MB, so using larger default I/O sizes from userspace
(changing to 1MB default i/o size returned by stat) the
performance is much better (and not just for long latency
network connections) in most use cases for SMB3 than the default I/O
size (which ends up being 128K for cp and can be even smaller for cp).
This can be 4x slower or worse depending on network latency.
By changing inode->blocksize from 32K (which was perhaps ok
for very old SMB1/CIFS) to a larger value, 1MB (but still less than
max size negotiated with the server which is 4MB, in order to minimize
risk) it significantly increases performance for the
noncached case, and slightly increases it for the cached case.
This can be changed by the user on mount (specifying bsize=
values from 16K to 16MB) to tune better for performance
for applications that depend on blocksize.

This allows directory listings to Mac to display filenames
correctly which have been created with illegal (to Windows)
characters in their filename. It does not allow
converting the other direction yet ie opening files with
these characters (followon patch).
There are seven reserved characters that need to be remapped when
mounting to Windows, Mac (or any server without Unix Extensions) which
are valid in POSIX but not in the other OS.
: \ < > ? * |
We used the normal UCS-2 remap range for this in order to convert this
to/from UTF8 as did Windows Services for Unix (basically add 0xF000 to
any of the 7 reserved characters), at least when the "mapchars" mount
option was specified.
Mac used a very slightly different "Services for Mac" remap range
0xF021 through 0xF027. The attached patch allows cifs.ko (the kernel
client) to read directories on macs containing files with these
characters and display their names properly. In theory this even
might be useful on mounts to Samba when the vfs_catia or new
"vfs_fruit" module is loaded.
Currently the 7 reserved characters look very strange in directory
listings from cifs.ko to Mac server. This patch allows these file
name characters to be read (requires specifying mapchars on mount).
Two additional changes are needed:
1) Make it more automatic: a way of detecting enough info so that
we know to try to always remap these characters or not. Various
have suggested that the SFM approach be made the default when
the server does not support POSIX Unix extensions (cifs mounts
to Samba for example) so need to make SFM remapping the default
unless mapchars (SFU style mapping) specified on mount or no
mapping explicitly requested or no mapping needed (cifs mounts to Samba).
2) Adding a patch to map the characters the other direction
(ie UTF-8 to UCS-2 on open). This patch does it for translating
readdir entries (ie UCS-2 to UTF-8)

Currently, the attribute cache timeout for CIFS is hardcoded to 1 second. This
means that the client might have to issue a QPATHINFO/QFILEINFO call every 1
second to verify if something has changes, which seems too expensive. On the
other hand, if the timeout is hardcoded to a higher value, workloads that
expect strict cache coherency might see unexpected results.
Making attribute cache timeout as a tunable will allow us to make a tradeoff
between performance and cache metadata correctness depending on the
application/workload needs.
Add 'actimeo' tunable that can be used to tune the attribute cache timeout.
The default timeout is set to 1 second. Also, display actimeo option value in
/proc/mounts.
It appears to me that 'actimeo' and the proposed (but not yet merged)
'strictcache' option cannot coexist, so care must be taken that we reset the
other option if one of them is set.

Radix trees are ideal when you want to track a bunch of pointers and
can't embed a tracking structure within the target of those pointers.
The tradeoff is an increase in memory, particularly if the tree is
sparse.
In CIFS, we use the tlink_tree to track tcon_link structs. A tcon_link
can never be in more than one tlink_tree, so there's no impediment to
using a rb_tree here instead of a radix tree.
Convert the new multiuser mount code to use a rb_tree instead. This

Filesystems aren't really supposed to do anything with a vfsmount. It's
considered a layering violation since vfsmounts are entirely managed at
the VFS layer.
CIFS currently keeps an active reference to a vfsmount in order to
prevent the superblock vanishing before an oplock break has completed.
What we really want to do instead is to keep sb->s_active high until the
oplock break has completed. This patch borrows the scheme that NFS uses
for handling sillyrenames.
An atomic_t is added to the cifs_sb_info. When it transitions from 0 to
1, an extra reference to the superblock is taken (by bumping the
s_active value). When it transitions from 1 to 0, that reference is
dropped and a the superblock teardown may proceed if there are no more
references to it.
Also, the vfsmount pointer is removed from cifsFileInfo and from
cifs_new_fileinfo, and some bogus forward declarations are removed from

This patch is rather large, but it's a bit difficult to do piecemeal...
For non-multiuser mounts, everything will basically work as it does
today. A call to cifs_sb_tlink will return the "master" tcon link.
Turn the tcon pointer in the cifs_sb into a radix tree that uses the
fsuid of the process as a key. The value is a new "tcon_link" struct
that contains info about a tcon that's under construction.
When a new process needs a tcon, it'll call cifs_sb_tcon. That will
then look up the tcon_link in the radix tree. If it exists and is
valid, it's returned.
If it doesn't exist, then we stuff a new tcon_link into the tree and
mark it as pending and then go and try to build the session/tcon.
If that works, the tcon pointer in the tcon_link is updated and the
pending flag is cleared.
If the construction fails, then we set the tcon pointer to an ERR_PTR
and clear the pending flag.
If the radix tree is searched and the tcon_link is marked pending
then we go to sleep and wait for the pending flag to be cleared.

If this mount option is set, when an application does an
fsync call then the cifs client does not send an SMB Flush
to the server (to force the server to write all dirty data
for this file immediately to disk), although cifs still sends
all dirty (cached) file data to the server and waits for the
server to respond to the write write. Since SMB Flush can be
very slow, and some servers may be reliable enough (to risk
delaying slightly flushing the data to disk on the server),
turning on this option may be useful to improve performance for
applications that fsync too much, at a small risk of server
crash. If this mount option is not set, by default cifs will

Some applications/subsystems require mandatory byte range locks

byte range lock requests (instead of mandatory byte range locks) can
lead to problems for these applications (which expect that other
clients be prevented from writing to portions of the file which
they have locked and are updating). This mount option allows
mounting cifs with the new mount option "forcemand" (or
"forcemandatorylock") in order to have the cifs client use mandatory
byte range locks (ie SMB/CIFS/Windows/NTFS style locks) rather than
posix byte range lock requests, even if the server would support
posix byte range lock requests. This has no effect if the server
does not support the CIFS Unix Extensions (since posix style locks
require support for the CIFS Unix Extensions), but for mounts
to Samba servers this can be helpful for Wine and applications
