CIFS in some heavy stress conditions cifs could get EAGAIN
repeatedly in smb_send2 which led to repeated retries and eventually
failure of large writes which could lead to data corruption.
There are three changes that were suggested by various network
developers:
1) convert cifs from non-blocking to blocking tcp sendmsg
(we left in the retry on failure)
2) change cifs to not set sendbuf and rcvbuf size for the socket
(let tcp autotune the buffer sizes since that works much better
in the TCP stack now)
3) if we have a partial frame sent in smb_send2, mark the tcp
session as invalid (close the socket and reconnect) so we do
not corrupt the remaining part of the SMB with the beginning
of the next SMB.
This does not appear to hurt performance measurably and has
been run in various scenarios, but it definately removes
a corruption that we were seeing in some high stress
test cases.

cifs: add function to set file disposition
The proper way to set the delete on close bit on an already existing
file is to use SET_FILE_INFO with an infolevel of
SMB_FILE_DISPOSITION_INFO. Add a function to do that and have the
silly-rename code use it.

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.

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.

In SendReceive() function in transport.c - it memcpy's
message payload into a buffer passed via out_buf param. The function
assumes that all buffers are of size (CIFSMaxBufSize +
MAX_CIFS_HDR_SIZE) , unfortunately it is also called with smaller
(MAX_CIFS_SMALL_BUFFER_SIZE) buffers. There are eight callers
(SMB worker functions) which are primarily affected by this change:
TreeDisconnect, uLogoff, Close, findClose, SetFileSize, SetFileTimes,

Add routines to handle upcalls to userspace via keyctl for the purpose
of getting a SPNEGO blob for a particular uid and server combination.
Clean up the Makefile a bit and set it up to only compile cifs_spnego
if CONFIG_CIFS_UPCALL is set. Also change CONFIG_CIFS_UPCALL to depend
on CONFIG_KEYS rather than CONFIG_CONNECTOR.
cifs_spnego.h defines the communications between kernel and userspace

(cherry picked from 570d4d2d895569825d0d017d4e76b51138f68864 commit)
NTLMv2 authentication (stronger authentication than default NTLM) which
many servers support now works. There was a problem with the construction
of the security blob in the older code. Currently requires
/proc/fs/cifs/Experimental to be set to 2
and
/proc/fs/cifs/SecurityFlags to be set to 0x4004 (to require using
NTLMv2 instead of default of NTLM)
Next we will check signing to make sure optional NTLMv2 packet signing also
works.
