If the server isn't responding to echoes, we don't want to leave tasks
hung waiting for it to reply. At that point, we'll want to reconnect
so that soft mounts can return an error to userspace quickly.
If the client hasn't received a reply after a specified number of echo
intervals, assume that the transport is down and attempt to reconnect
the socket.
The number of echo_intervals to wait before attempting to reconnect is
tunable via a module parameter. Setting it to 0, means that the client
will never attempt to reconnect. The default is 5.

Reduce false inode collisions by using the CreationTime like an
i_generation field. This way, even if the server ends up reusing
a uniqueid after a delete/create cycle, we can avoid matching
the inode incorrectly.

RCU free the struct inode. This will allow:
- Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for
permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must.
- sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want
to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in
the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking.
- Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code
- Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the
page lock to follow page->mapping.
The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple
creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to
reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts
kicking over, this increases to about 20%.
In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated
during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is
not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller.
The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU,
however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking,
so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in
real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I
doubt it will be a problem.

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.
Changes since last post:
- fix option parsing and handle possible values correcly

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
should reduce the memory required to manage the tlink_tree.

The caller allocated it, the caller should free it.
The only issue so far is that we could change the flp pointer even on an
error return if the fl_change callback failed. But we can simply move
the flp assignment after the fl_change invocation, as the callers don't
care about the flp return value if the setlease call failed.

write_behind_rc is redundant and just adds complexity to the code. What
we really want to do instead is to use mapping_set_error to reset the
flags on the mapping when we find a writeback error and can't report it
to userspace yet.
For cifs_flush and cifs_fsync, we shouldn't reset the flags since errors
returned there do get reported to userspace.

cifs_tcp_ses_lock is a rwlock with protects the cifs_tcp_ses_list,
server->smb_ses_list and the ses->tcon_list. It also protects a few
ref counters in server, ses and tcon. In most cases the critical section
doesn't seem to be large, in a few cases where it is slightly large, there
seem to be really no benefit from concurrent access. I briefly considered RCU
mechanism but it appears to me that there is no real need.
Replace it with a spinlock and get rid of the last rwlock in the cifs code.

Convert this lock to a regular spinlock
A rwlock_t offers little value here. It's more expensive than a regular
spinlock unless you have a fairly large section of code that runs under
the read lock and can benefit from the concurrency.
Additionally, we need to ensure that the refcounting for files isn't
racy and to do that we need to lock areas that can increment it for
write. That means that the areas that can actually use a read_lock are
very few and relatively infrequently used.
While we're at it, change the name to something easier to type, and fix
a bug in find_writable_file. cifsFileInfo_put can sleep and shouldn't be
called while holding the lock.

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
cifsfs.h.
