smb: client: ensure to try all targets when finding nested links

2023-08-20T21:05:50+00:00

With current implementation, when a nested DFS link is found during
mount(2), the client follows the referral and then try to connect to
all of its targets.  If all targets failed, the client bails out
rather than retrying remaining targets from previous referral.

Fix this by stacking all referrals and targets so the client can retry
remaining targets from previous referrals in case all targets of
current referral have failed.

Thanks to samba, this can be easily tested like below

* Run the following under dfs folder in samba server

  $ ln -s "msdfs:srv\\bad-share" link1
  $ ln -s "msdfs:srv\\dfs\\link1,srv\\good-share" link0

* Before patch

  $ mount.cifs //srv/dfs/link0 /mnt -o ...
  mount error(2): No such file or directory
  Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)...

* After patch

  $ mount.cifs //srv/dfs/link0 /mnt -o ...
  # ls /mnt
  bar  fileshare1  sub

smb: client: fix shared DFS root mounts with different prefixes

2023-06-28T20:48:43+00:00

When having two DFS root mounts that are connected to same namespace,
same mount options but different prefix paths, we can't really use the
shared @server->origin_fullpath when chasing DFS links in them.

Move the origin_fullpath field to cifs_tcon structure so when having
shared DFS root mounts with different prefix paths, and we need to
chase any DFS links, dfs_get_automount_devname() will pick up the
correct full path out of the @tcon that will be used for the new
mount.

Before patch

  mount.cifs //dom/dfs/dir /mnt/1 -o ...
  mount.cifs //dom/dfs /mnt/2 -o ...
  # shared server, ses, tcon
  # server: origin_fullpath=//dom/dfs/dir

  # @server->origin_fullpath + '/dir/link1'
  $ ls /mnt/2/dir/link1
  ls: cannot open directory '/mnt/2/dir/link1': No such file or directory

After patch

  mount.cifs //dom/dfs/dir /mnt/1 -o ...
  mount.cifs //dom/dfs /mnt/2 -o ...
  # shared server & ses
  # tcon_1: origin_fullpath=//dom/dfs/dir
  # tcon_2: origin_fullpath=//dom/dfs

  # @tcon_2->origin_fullpath + '/dir/link1'
  $ ls /mnt/2/dir/link1
  dir0  dir1  dir10  dir3  dir5  dir6  dir7  dir9  target2_file.txt  tsub

smb: move client and server files to common directory fs/smb

2023-05-24T21:29:21+00:00

Move CIFS/SMB3 related client and server files (cifs.ko and ksmbd.ko
and helper modules) to new fs/smb subdirectory:

   fs/cifs --> fs/smb/client
   fs/ksmbd --> fs/smb/server
   fs/smbfs_common --> fs/smb/common
