There is a race between a system call processing thread
and the demultiplex thread when mid->resp_buf becomes NULL
and later is being accessed to get credits. It happens when
the 1st thread wakes up before a mid callback is called in
the 2nd one but the mid state has already been set to
MID_RESPONSE_RECEIVED. This causes NULL pointer dereference
in mid callback.
Fix this by saving credits from the response before we
update the mid state and then use this value in the mid
callback rather then accessing a response buffer.

There's a deadlock that is possible and can easily be seen with
a test where multiple readers open/read/close of the same file
and a disruption occurs causing reconnect. The deadlock is due
a reader thread inside cifs_strict_readv calling down_read and
obtaining lock_sem, and then after reconnect inside
cifs_reopen_file calling down_read a second time. If in
between the two down_read calls, a down_write comes from
another process, deadlock occurs.

Fix the above by changing all down_write(lock_sem) calls to

* We keep an additionnal reference of the SMB FileInfo handle so that

to override the default handle timeout for persistent (mount

"resilienthandles"). Maximum allowed is 16 minutes (960000 ms).

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.

* 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.
