cifs: create a new Documentation/ directory and move docfiles into it

Currently, we have a number of documentation files that live under
fs/cifs/. Generally, these don't get picked up by distro packagers,
since they're in a non-standard location. Move them to a new spot
under Documentation/ instead.

-Version 1.62
-------------
-Add sockopt=TCP_NODELAY mount option. EA (xattr) routines hardened
-to more strictly handle corrupt frames.
-
-Version 1.61
-------------
-Fix append problem to Samba servers (files opened with O_APPEND could
-have duplicated data). Fix oops in cifs_lookup. Workaround problem
-mounting to OS/400 Netserve. Fix oops in cifs_get_tcp_session.
-Disable use of server inode numbers when server only
-partially supports them (e.g. for one server querying inode numbers on
-FindFirst fails but QPathInfo queries works). Fix oops with dfs in 
-cifs_put_smb_ses. Fix mmap to work on directio mounts (needed
-for OpenOffice when on forcedirectio mount e.g.)
-
-Version 1.60
--------------
-Fix memory leak in reconnect.  Fix oops in DFS mount error path.
-Set s_maxbytes to smaller (the max that vfs can handle) so that
-sendfile will now work over cifs mounts again.  Add noforcegid
-and noforceuid mount parameters. Fix small mem leak when using
-ntlmv2. Fix 2nd mount to same server but with different port to
-be allowed (rather than reusing the 1st port) - only when the
-user explicitly overrides the port on the 2nd mount.
-
-Version 1.59
-------------
-Client uses server inode numbers (which are persistent) rather than
-client generated ones by default (mount option "serverino" turned
-on by default if server supports it).  Add forceuid and forcegid
-mount options (so that when negotiating unix extensions specifying
-which uid mounted does not immediately force the server's reported
-uids to be overridden).  Add support for scope mount parm. Improve
-hard link detection to use same inode for both.  Do not set
-read-only dos attribute on directories (for chmod) since Windows
-explorer special cases this attribute bit for directories for
-a different purpose.
-
-Version 1.58
-------------
-Guard against buffer overruns in various UCS-2 to UTF-8 string conversions
-when the UTF-8 string is composed of unusually long (more than 4 byte) converted
-characters. Add support for mounting root of a share which redirects immediately
-to DFS target. Convert string conversion functions from Unicode to more
-accurately mark string length before allocating memory (which may help the
-rare cases where a UTF-8 string is much larger than the UCS2 string that
-we converted from).  Fix endianness of the vcnum field used during
-session setup to distinguish multiple mounts to same server from different
-userids. Raw NTLMSSP fixed (it requires /proc/fs/cifs/experimental
-flag to be set to 2, and mount must enable krb5 to turn on extended security).
-Performance of file create to Samba improved (posix create on lookup
-removes 1 of 2 network requests sent on file create)
- 
-Version 1.57
-------------
-Improve support for multiple security contexts to the same server. We
-used to use the same "vcnumber" for all connections which could cause
-the server to treat subsequent connections, especially those that
-are authenticated as guest, as reconnections, invalidating the earlier
-user's smb session.  This fix allows cifs to mount multiple times to the
-same server with different userids without risking invalidating earlier
-established security contexts.  fsync now sends SMB Flush operation
-to better ensure that we wait for server to write all of the data to
-server disk (not just write it over the network).  Add new mount
-parameter to allow user to disable sending the (slow) SMB flush on
-fsync if desired (fsync still flushes all cached write data to the server).
-Posix file open support added (turned off after one attempt if server
-fails to support it properly, as with Samba server versions prior to 3.3.2)
-Fix "redzone overwritten" bug in cifs_put_tcon (CIFSTcon may allocate too
-little memory for the "nativeFileSystem" field returned by the server
-during mount).  Endian convert inode numbers if necessary (makes it easier
-to compare inode numbers on network files from big endian systems). 
-
-Version 1.56
-------------
-Add "forcemandatorylock" mount option to allow user to use mandatory
-rather than posix (advisory) byte range locks, even though server would
-support posix byte range locks.  Fix query of root inode when prefixpath
-specified and user does not have access to query information about the
-top of the share.  Fix problem in 2.6.28 resolving DFS paths to
-Samba servers (worked to Windows).  Fix rmdir so that pending search
-(readdir) requests do not get invalid results which include the now
-removed directory.  Fix oops in cifs_dfs_ref.c when prefixpath is not reachable
-when using DFS.  Add better file create support to servers which support
-the CIFS POSIX protocol extensions (this adds support for new flags
-on create, and improves semantics for write of locked ranges).
-
-Version 1.55
-------------
-Various fixes to make delete of open files behavior more predictable
-(when delete of an open file fails we mark the file as "delete-on-close"
-in a way that more servers accept, but only if we can first rename the
-file to a temporary name).  Add experimental support for more safely
-handling fcntl(F_SETLEASE).  Convert cifs to using blocking tcp
-sends, and also let tcp autotune the socket send and receive buffers.
-This reduces the number of EAGAIN errors returned by TCP/IP in
-high stress workloads (and the number of retries on socket writes
-when sending large SMBWriteX requests).  Fix case in which a portion of
-data can in some cases not get written to the file on the server before the
-file is closed.  Fix DFS parsing to properly handle path consumed field,
-and to handle certain codepage conversions better.  Fix mount and
-umount race that can cause oops in mount or umount or reconnect.
-
-Version 1.54
-------------
-Fix premature write failure on congested networks (we would give up
-on EAGAIN from the socket too quickly on large writes).
-Cifs_mkdir and cifs_create now respect the setgid bit on parent dir.
-Fix endian problems in acl (mode from/to cifs acl) on bigendian
-architectures.  Fix problems with preserving timestamps on copying open
-files (e.g. "cp -a") to Windows servers.  For mkdir and create honor setgid bit
-on parent directory when server supports Unix Extensions but not POSIX
-create. Update cifs.upcall version to handle new Kerberos sec flags
-(this requires update of cifs.upcall program from Samba).  Fix memory leak
-on dns_upcall (resolving DFS referralls).  Fix plain text password
-authentication (requires setting SecurityFlags to 0x30030 to enable
-lanman and plain text though).  Fix writes to be at correct offset when
-file is open with O_APPEND and file is on a directio (forcediretio) mount.
-Fix bug in rewinding readdir directory searches.  Add nodfs mount option.
-
-Version 1.53
-------------
-DFS support added (Microsoft Distributed File System client support needed
-for referrals which enable a hierarchical name space among servers).
-Disable temporary caching of mode bits to servers which do not support
-storing of mode (e.g. Windows servers, when client mounts without cifsacl
-mount option) and add new "dynperm" mount option to enable temporary caching
-of mode (enable old behavior).  Fix hang on mount caused when server crashes
-tcp session during negotiate protocol.
-
-Version 1.52
-------------
-Fix oops on second mount to server when null auth is used.
-Enable experimental Kerberos support.  Return writebehind errors on flush
-and sync so that events like out of disk space get reported properly on
-cached files. Fix setxattr failure to certain Samba versions. Fix mount
-of second share to disconnected server session (autoreconnect on this).
-Add ability to modify cifs acls for handling chmod (when mounted with
-cifsacl flag). Fix prefixpath path separator so we can handle mounts
-with prefixpaths longer than one directory (one path component) when
-mounted to Windows servers.  Fix slow file open when cifsacl
-enabled. Fix memory leak in FindNext when the SMB call returns -EBADF.
-
-
-Version 1.51
-------------
-Fix memory leak in statfs when mounted to very old servers (e.g.
-Windows 9x).  Add new feature "POSIX open" which allows servers
-which support the current POSIX Extensions to provide better semantics
-(e.g. delete for open files opened with posix open).  Take into
-account umask on posix mkdir not just older style mkdir.  Add
-ability to mount to IPC$ share (which allows CIFS named pipes to be
-opened, read and written as if they were files).  When 1st tree
-connect fails (e.g. due to signing negotiation failure) fix
-leak that causes cifsd not to stop and rmmod to fail to cleanup
-cifs_request_buffers pool. Fix problem with POSIX Open/Mkdir on
-bigendian architectures. Fix possible memory corruption when
-EAGAIN returned on kern_recvmsg. Return better error if server
-requires packet signing but client has disabled it. When mounted
-with cifsacl mount option - mode bits are approximated based
-on the contents of the ACL of the file or directory. When cifs
-mount helper is missing convert make sure that UNC name 
-has backslash (not forward slash) between ip address of server
-and the share name.
-
-Version 1.50
-------------
-Fix NTLMv2 signing. NFS server mounted over cifs works (if cifs mount is
-done with "serverino" mount option).  Add support for POSIX Unlink
-(helps with certain sharing violation cases when server such as
-Samba supports newer POSIX CIFS Protocol Extensions). Add "nounix"
-mount option to allow disabling the CIFS Unix Extensions for just
-that mount. Fix hang on spinlock in find_writable_file (race when
-reopening file after session crash).  Byte range unlock request to
-windows server could unlock more bytes (on server copy of file)
-than intended if start of unlock request is well before start of
-a previous byte range lock that we issued.
-
-Version 1.49
-------------
-IPv6 support.  Enable ipv6 addresses to be passed on mount (put the ipv6
-address after the "ip=" mount option, at least until mount.cifs is fixed to
-handle DNS host to ipv6 name translation).  Accept override of uid or gid
-on mount even when Unix Extensions are negotiated (it used to be ignored
-when Unix Extensions were ignored).  This allows users to override the
-default uid and gid for files when they are certain that the uids or
-gids on the server do not match those of the client.  Make "sec=none"
-mount override username (so that null user connection is attempted)
-to match what documentation said. Support for very large reads, over 127K,
-available to some newer servers (such as Samba 3.0.26 and later but
-note that it also requires setting CIFSMaxBufSize at module install
-time to a larger value which may hurt performance in some cases).
-Make sign option force signing (or fail if server does not support it).
-
-Version 1.48
-------------
-Fix mtime bouncing around from local idea of last write times to remote time.
-Fix hang (in i_size_read) when simultaneous size update of same remote file
-on smp system corrupts sequence number. Do not reread unnecessarily partial page
-(which we are about to overwrite anyway) when writing out file opened rw.
-When DOS attribute of file on non-Unix server's file changes on the server side
-from read-only back to read-write, reflect this change in default file mode
-(we had been leaving a file's mode read-only until the inode were reloaded).
-Allow setting of attribute back to ATTR_NORMAL (removing readonly dos attribute
-when archive dos attribute not set and we are changing mode back to writeable
-on server which does not support the Unix Extensions).  Remove read only dos
-attribute on chmod when adding any write permission (ie on any of
-user/group/other (not all of user/group/other ie  0222) when
-mounted to windows.  Add support for POSIX MkDir (slight performance
-enhancement and eliminates the network race between the mkdir and set 
-path info of the mode).
-
-
-Version 1.47
-------------
-Fix oops in list_del during mount caused by unaligned string.
-Fix file corruption which could occur on some large file
-copies caused by writepages page i/o completion bug.
-Seek to SEEK_END forces check for update of file size for non-cached
-files. Allow file size to be updated on remote extend of locally open,
-non-cached file.  Fix reconnect to newer Samba servers (or other servers
-which support the CIFS Unix/POSIX extensions) so that we again tell the
-server the Unix/POSIX cifs capabilities which we support (SetFSInfo).
-Add experimental support for new POSIX Open/Mkdir (which returns
-stat information on the open, and allows setting the mode).
-
-Version 1.46
-------------
-Support deep tree mounts.  Better support OS/2, Win9x (DOS) time stamps.
-Allow null user to be specified on mount ("username="). Do not return
-EINVAL on readdir when filldir fails due to overwritten blocksize
-(fixes FC problem).  Return error in rename 2nd attempt retry (ie report
-if rename by handle also fails, after rename by path fails, we were
-not reporting whether the retry worked or not). Fix NTLMv2 to
-work to Windows servers (mount with option "sec=ntlmv2").
-
-Version 1.45
-------------
-Do not time out lockw calls when using posix extensions. Do not
-time out requests if server still responding reasonably fast
-on requests on other threads.  Improve POSIX locking emulation,
-(lock cancel now works, and unlock of merged range works even
-to Windows servers now).  Fix oops on mount to lanman servers
-(win9x, os/2 etc.) when null password.  Do not send listxattr
-(SMB to query all EAs) if nouser_xattr specified.  Fix SE Linux
-problem (instantiate inodes/dentries in right order for readdir).
-
-Version 1.44
-------------
-Rewritten sessionsetup support, including support for legacy SMB
-session setup needed for OS/2 and older servers such as Windows 95 and 98.
-Fix oops on ls to OS/2 servers.  Add support for level 1 FindFirst
-so we can do search (ls etc.) to OS/2.  Do not send NTCreateX
-or recent levels of FindFirst unless server says it supports NT SMBs
-(instead use legacy equivalents from LANMAN dialect). Fix to allow
-NTLMv2 authentication support (now can use stronger password hashing
-on mount if corresponding /proc/fs/cifs/SecurityFlags is set (0x4004).
-Allow override of global cifs security flags on mount via "sec=" option(s).
-
-Version 1.43
-------------
-POSIX locking to servers which support CIFS POSIX Extensions
-(disabled by default controlled by proc/fs/cifs/Experimental).
-Handle conversion of long share names (especially Asian languages)
-to Unicode during mount. Fix memory leak in sess struct on reconnect.
-Fix rare oops after acpi suspend.  Fix O_TRUNC opens to overwrite on
-cifs open which helps rare case when setpathinfo fails or server does
-not support it. 
-
-Version 1.42
-------------
-Fix slow oplock break when mounted to different servers at the same time and
-the tids match and we try to find matching fid on wrong server. Fix read
-looping when signing required by server (2.6.16 kernel only). Fix readdir
-vs. rename race which could cause each to hang. Return . and .. even
-if server does not.  Allow searches to skip first three entries and
-begin at any location. Fix oops in find_writeable_file.
-
-Version 1.41
-------------
-Fix NTLMv2 security (can be enabled in /proc/fs/cifs) so customers can
-configure stronger authentication.  Fix sfu symlinks so they can
-be followed (not just recognized).  Fix wraparound of bcc on
-read responses when buffer size over 64K and also fix wrap of
-max smb buffer size when CIFSMaxBufSize over 64K.  Fix oops in
-cifs_user_read and cifs_readpages (when EAGAIN on send of smb
-on socket is returned over and over).  Add POSIX (advisory) byte range
-locking support (requires server with newest CIFS UNIX Extensions
-to the protocol implemented). Slow down negprot slightly in port 139
-RFC1001 case to give session_init time on buggy servers.
-
-Version 1.40
-------------
-Use fsuid (fsgid) more consistently instead of uid (gid). Improve performance
-of readpages by eliminating one extra memcpy. Allow update of file size
-from remote server even if file is open for write as long as mount is
-directio.  Recognize share mode security and send NTLM encrypted password
-on tree connect if share mode negotiated.
-
-Version 1.39
-------------
-Defer close of a file handle slightly if pending writes depend on that handle
-(this reduces the EBADF bad file handle errors that can be logged under heavy
-stress on writes). Modify cifs Kconfig options to expose CONFIG_CIFS_STATS2 
-Fix SFU style symlinks and mknod needed for servers which do not support the
-CIFS Unix Extensions.  Fix setfacl/getfacl on bigendian. Timeout negative
-dentries so files that the client sees as deleted but that later get created
-on the server will be recognized.  Add client side permission check on setattr.
-Timeout stuck requests better (where server has never responded or sent corrupt
-responses)
-
-Version 1.38
-------------
-Fix tcp socket retransmission timeouts (e.g. on ENOSPACE from the socket)
-to be smaller at first (but increasing) so large write performance performance
-over GigE is better.  Do not hang thread on illegal byte range lock response
-from Windows (Windows can send an RFC1001 size which does not match smb size) by
-allowing an SMBs TCP length to be up to a few bytes longer than it should be.
-wsize and rsize can now be larger than negotiated buffer size if server
-supports large readx/writex, even when directio mount flag not specified.
-Write size will in many cases now be 16K instead of 4K which greatly helps
-file copy performance on lightly loaded networks.  Fix oops in dnotify
-when experimental config flag enabled. Make cifsFYI more granular.
-
-Version 1.37
-------------
-Fix readdir caching when unlink removes file in current search buffer,
-and this is followed by a rewind search to just before the deleted entry.
-Do not attempt to set ctime unless atime and/or mtime change requested
-(most servers throw it away anyway). Fix length check of received smbs
-to be more accurate. Fix big endian problem with mapchars mount option,
-and with a field returned by statfs.
-
-Version 1.36
-------------
-Add support for mounting to older pre-CIFS servers such as Windows9x and ME.
-For these older servers, add option for passing netbios name of server in
-on mount (servernetbiosname).  Add suspend support for power management, to
-avoid cifsd thread preventing software suspend from working.
-Add mount option for disabling the default behavior of sending byte range lock
-requests to the server (necessary for certain applications which break with
-mandatory lock behavior such as Evolution), and also mount option for
-requesting case insensitive matching for path based requests (requesting
-case sensitive is the default).
-
-Version 1.35
-------------
-Add writepage performance improvements.  Fix path name conversions
-for long filenames on mounts which were done with "mapchars" mount option
-specified.  Ensure multiplex ids do not collide.  Fix case in which 
-rmmod can oops if done soon after last unmount.  Fix truncated
-search (readdir) output when resume filename was a long filename.
-Fix filename conversion when mapchars mount option was specified and
-filename was a long filename.
-
-Version 1.34
-------------
-Fix error mapping of the TOO_MANY_LINKS (hardlinks) case.
-Do not oops if root user kills cifs oplock kernel thread or
-kills the cifsd thread (NB: killing the cifs kernel threads is not
-recommended, unmount and rmmod cifs will kill them when they are
-no longer needed).  Fix readdir to ASCII servers (ie older servers
-which do not support Unicode) and also require asterisk.
-Fix out of memory case in which data could be written one page
-off in the page cache.
-
-Version 1.33
-------------
-Fix caching problem, in which readdir of directory containing a file
-which was cached could cause the file's time stamp to be updated
-without invalidating the readahead data (so we could get stale
-file data on the client for that file even as the server copy changed).
-Cleanup response processing so cifsd can not loop when abnormally
-terminated.
-
-
-Version 1.32
-------------
-Fix oops in ls when Transact2 FindFirst (or FindNext) returns more than one
-transact response for an SMB request and search entry split across two frames.
-Add support for lsattr (getting ext2/ext3/reiserfs attr flags from the server)
-as new protocol extensions. Do not send Get/Set calls for POSIX ACLs
-unless server explicitly claims to support them in CIFS Unix extensions
-POSIX ACL capability bit. Fix packet signing when multiuser mounting with
-different users from the same client to the same server. Fix oops in
-cifs_close. Add mount option for remapping reserved characters in
-filenames (also allow recognizing files with created by SFU which have any
-of these seven reserved characters, except backslash, to be recognized).
-Fix invalid transact2 message (we were sometimes trying to interpret
-oplock breaks as SMB responses). Add ioctl for checking that the
-current uid matches the uid of the mounter (needed by umount.cifs).
-Reduce the number of large buffer allocations in cifs response processing
-(significantly reduces memory pressure under heavy stress with multiple
-processes accessing the same server at the same time).
-
-Version 1.31
-------------
-Fix updates of DOS attributes and time fields so that files on NT4 servers
-do not get marked delete on close. Display sizes of cifs buffer pools in
-cifs stats. Fix oops in unmount when cifsd thread being killed by 
-shutdown. Add generic readv/writev and aio support. Report inode numbers 
-consistently in readdir and lookup (when serverino mount option is
-specified use the inode number that the server reports - for both lookup
-and readdir, otherwise by default the locally generated inode number is used
-for inodes created in either path since servers are not always able to 
-provide unique inode numbers when exporting multiple volumes from under one
-sharename).
-
-Version 1.30
-------------
-Allow new nouser_xattr mount parm to disable xattr support for user namespace.
-Do not flag user_xattr mount parm in dmesg.  Retry failures setting file time  
-(mostly affects NT4 servers) by retry with handle based network operation. 
-Add new POSIX Query FS Info for returning statfs info more accurately.
-Handle passwords with multiple commas in them.
-
-Version 1.29
-------------
-Fix default mode in sysfs of cifs module parms.  Remove old readdir routine.
-Fix capabilities flags for large readx so as to allow reads larger than 64K.
-
-Version 1.28
-------------
-Add module init parm for large SMB buffer size (to allow it to be changed
-from its default of 16K) which is especially useful for large file copy
-when mounting with the directio mount option. Fix oops after 
-returning from mount when experimental ExtendedSecurity enabled and
-SpnegoNegotiated returning invalid error. Fix case to retry better when 
-peek returns from 1 to 3 bytes on socket which should have more data.
-Fixed path based calls (such as cifs lookup) to handle path names
-longer than 530 (now can handle PATH_MAX). Fix pass through authentication
-from Samba server to DC (Samba required dummy LM password).
-
-Version 1.27
-------------
-Turn off DNOTIFY (directory change notification support) by default
-(unless built with the experimental flag) to fix hang with KDE
-file browser. Fix DNOTIFY flag mappings.  Fix hang (in wait_event
-waiting on an SMB response) in SendReceive when session dies but
-reconnects quickly from another task.  Add module init  parms for
-minimum number of large and small network buffers in the buffer pools,
-and for the maximum number of simultaneous requests.
-
-Version 1.26
-------------
-Add setfacl support to allow setting of ACLs remotely to Samba 3.10 and later
-and other POSIX CIFS compliant servers.  Fix error mapping for getfacl 
-to EOPNOTSUPP when server does not support posix acls on the wire. Fix 
-improperly zeroed buffer in CIFS Unix extensions set times call. 
-
-Version 1.25
-------------
-Fix internationalization problem in cifs readdir with filenames that map to 
-longer UTF-8 strings than the string on the wire was in Unicode.  Add workaround
-for readdir to netapp servers. Fix search rewind (seek into readdir to return 
-non-consecutive entries).  Do not do readdir when server negotiates 
-buffer size to small to fit filename. Add support for reading POSIX ACLs from
-the server (add also acl and noacl mount options).
-
-Version 1.24
-------------
-Optionally allow using server side inode numbers, rather than client generated
-ones by specifying mount option "serverino" - this is required for some apps
-to work which double check hardlinked files and have persistent inode numbers.
-
-Version 1.23
-------------
-Multiple bigendian fixes. On little endian systems (for reconnect after
-network failure) fix tcp session reconnect code so we do not try first
-to reconnect on reverse of port 445. Treat reparse points (NTFS junctions)
-as directories rather than symlinks because we can do follow link on them.
-
-Version 1.22
-------------
-Add config option to enable XATTR (extended attribute) support, mapping
-xattr names in the "user." namespace space to SMB/CIFS EAs. Lots of
-minor fixes pointed out by the Stanford SWAT checker (mostly missing
-or out of order NULL pointer checks in little used error paths).
-
-Version 1.21
-------------
-Add new mount parm to control whether mode check (generic_permission) is done
-on the client.  If Unix extensions are enabled and the uids on the client
-and server do not match, client permission checks are meaningless on
-server uids that do not exist on the client (this does not affect the
-normal ACL check which occurs on the server).  Fix default uid
-on mknod to match create and mkdir. Add optional mount parm to allow
-override of the default uid behavior (in which the server sets the uid
-and gid of newly created files). Normally for network filesystem mounts
-user want the server to set the uid/gid on newly created files (rather than 
-using uid of the client processes you would in a local filesystem).
-
-Version 1.20
-------------
-Make transaction counts more consistent. Merge /proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps
-info into /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData.  Fix oops in rare oops in readdir 
-(in build_wildcard_path_from_dentry).  Fix mknod to pass type field
-(block/char/fifo) properly.  Remove spurious mount warning log entry when
-credentials passed as mount argument. Set major/minor device number in
-inode for block and char devices when unix extensions enabled.
-
-Version 1.19
-------------
-Fix /proc/fs/cifs/Stats and DebugData display to handle larger
-amounts of return data. Properly limit requests to MAX_REQ (50
-is the usual maximum active multiplex SMB/CIFS requests per server).
-Do not kill cifsd (and thus hurt the other SMB session) when more than one
-session to the same server (but with different userids) exists and one
-of the two user's smb sessions is being removed while leaving the other.
-Do not loop reconnecting in cifsd demultiplex thread when admin
-kills the thread without going through unmount.
-
-Version 1.18
-------------
-Do not rename hardlinked files (since that should be a noop). Flush
-cached write behind data when reopening a file after session abend,
-except when already in write. Grab per socket sem during reconnect 
-to avoid oops in sendmsg if overlapping with reconnect. Do not
-reset cached inode file size on readdir for files open for write on 
-client.
-
-
-Version 1.17
-------------
-Update number of blocks in file so du command is happier (in Linux a fake
-blocksize of 512 is required for calculating number of blocks in inode).
-Fix prepare write of partial pages to read in data from server if possible.
-Fix race on tcpStatus field between unmount and reconnection code, causing
-cifsd process sometimes to hang around forever. Improve out of memory
-checks in cifs_filldir
-
-Version 1.16
-------------
-Fix incorrect file size in file handle based setattr on big endian hardware.
-Fix oops in build_path_from_dentry when out of memory.  Add checks for invalid
-and closing file structs in writepage/partialpagewrite.  Add statistics
-for each mounted share (new menuconfig option). Fix endianness problem in
-volume information displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData (only affects
-affects big endian architectures). Prevent renames while constructing
-path names for open, mkdir and rmdir.
-
-Version 1.15
-------------
-Change to mempools for alloc smb request buffers and multiplex structs
-to better handle low memory problems (and potential deadlocks).
-
-Version 1.14
-------------
-Fix incomplete listings of large directories on Samba servers when Unix
-extensions enabled.  Fix oops when smb_buffer can not be allocated. Fix
-rename deadlock when writing out dirty pages at same time.
-
-Version 1.13
-------------
-Fix open of files in which O_CREATE can cause the mode to change in
-some cases. Fix case in which retry of write overlaps file close.
-Fix PPC64 build error.  Reduce excessive stack usage in smb password
-hashing. Fix overwrite of Linux user's view of file mode to Windows servers.
-
-Version 1.12

-when server drops the tcp session prematurely before negotiate
-protocol response.  Fix oops in reopen_file when dentry freed.  Allow
-the support for CIFS Unix Extensions to be disabled via proc interface.
-
