This patch by utilizing lookup intents, and thus removing a network
roundtrip in the open path, improves performance dramatically on
open (30% or more) to Samba and other servers which support the
cifs posix extensions

Jeff made a good point that we should endian convert the UniqueId when we use
it to set i_ino Even though this value is opaque to the client, when comparing
the inode numbers of the same server file from two different clients (one
big endian, one little endian) or when we compare a big endian client's view
of i_ino with what the server thinks - we should get the same value

If the network connection crashes, and we have to reopen files, preferentially

Samba server added support for a new posix open/create/mkdir operation
a year or so ago, and we added support to cifs for mkdir to use it,
but had not added the corresponding code to file create.
The following patch helps improve the performance of the cifs create
path (to Samba and servers which support the cifs posix protocol
extensions). Using Connectathon basic test1, with 2000 files, the
performance improved about 15%, and also helped reduce network traffic
(17% fewer SMBs sent over the wire) due to saving a network round trip
for the SetPathInfo on every file create.
It should also help the semantics (and probably the performance) of
write (e.g. when posix byte range locks are on the file) on file
handles opened with posix create, and adds support for a few flags
which would have to be ignored otherwise.

Fix trivial conflict in fs/cifs/cifs_fs_sb.h due to comment changes for
the CIFS_MOUNT_xyz bit definitions between cifs updates and security

Wrap access to task credentials so that they can be separated more easily from
the task_struct during the introduction of COW creds.
Change most current->(|e|s|fs)[ug]id to current_(|e|s|fs)[ug]id().
Change some task->e?[ug]id to task_e?[ug]id(). In some places it makes more

If a server supports unix extensions but does not support POSIX create
routines, then the client will create a new inode with a standard SMB
mkdir or create/open call and then will set the mode. When it does this,
it does not take the setgid bit on the parent directory into account.
This patch has CIFS flip on the setgid bit when the parent directory has
it. If the share is mounted with "setuids" then also change the group
owner to the gid of the parent.
This patch should apply cleanly on top of the setattr cleanup patches
that I sent a few weeks ago.

We'd like to be able to use the unix SET_PATH_INFO_BASIC args to set
file times as well, but that makes the argument list rather long. Bundle
up the args for unix SET_PATH_INFO call into a struct. For now, we don't
actually use the times fields anywhere. That will be done in a follow-on
patch.

When CIFS creates a new inode on a mount without unix extensions, it
temporarily assigns the mode that was passed to it in the create/mkdir
call. Eventually, when the inode is revalidated, it changes to have the
file_mode or dir_mode for the mount. This is confusing to users who
expect that the mode shouldn't change this way. It's also problematic
since only the mode is treated this way, not the uid or gid. Suppose you
have a CIFS mount that's mounted with:
uid=0,gid=0,file_mode=0666,dir_mode=0777
...if an unprivileged user comes along and does this on the mount:
mkdir -m 0700 foo
touch foo/bar
...there is a period of time where the touch will fail, since the dir
will initially be owned by root and have mode 0700. If the user waits
long enough, then "foo" will be revalidated and will get the correct
dir_mode permissions.
This patch changes cifs_mkdir and cifs_create to not overwrite the
mode found by the initial cifs_get_inode_info call after the inode is
created on the server. Legacy behavior can be reenabled with the
new "dynperm" mount option.

When creating a directory on a CIFS share without POSIX extensions,
and the given mode has no write bits set, set the ATTR_READONLY bit.
When creating a file, set ATTR_READONLY if the create mode has no write
bits set and we're not using unix extensions.
There are some comments about this being problematic due to the VFS
splitting creates into 2 parts. I'm not sure what that's actually
talking about, but I'm assuming that it has something to do with how
mknod is implemented. In the simple case where we have no unix
extensions and we're just creating a regular file, there's no reason
we can't set ATTR_READONLY.

Shirish Pargaonkar noted:
With cifsacl mount option, when a file is created on the Windows server,
exclusive oplock is broken right away because the get cifs acl code
again opens the file to obtain security descriptor.
The client does not have the newly created file handle or inode in any
of its lists yet so it does not respond to oplock break and server waits for
its duration and then responds to the second open. This slows down file
creation signficantly. The fix is to pass the file descriptor to the get
cifsacl code wherever available so that get cifs acl code does not send
second open (NT Create ANDX) and oplock is not broken.

This patch makes CIFS honour a process' umask like other filesystems.
Of course the server is still free to munge the permissions if it wants
to; but the client will send the "right" permissions to begin with.
A few caveats:
1) It only applies to filesystems that have CAP_UNIX (aka support unix
extensions)
2) It applies the correct mode to the follow up CIFSSMBUnixSetPerms()
after remote creation
When mode to CIFS/NTFS ACL mapping is complete we can do the
same thing for that case for servers which do not
support the Unix Extensions.

The recent change to "allow Windows blocking locks to be cancelled via a
CANCEL_LOCK call" introduced a new semaphore in struct cifsFileInfo,
lock_sem. However, semaphores used as mutexes are deprecated these days,
and there's no reason to add a new one to the kernel. Therefore, convert
lock_sem to a struct mutex (and also fix one indentation glitch on one of
the lines changed anyway).
