mainlining shenanigans

This cleanup removes cifs specific code from SMB2/SMB3 code paths which is cleaner and easier to maintain as the code to handle special files is improved. Below is an example creating special files using 'sfu' mount option over SMB3 to Windows (with this patch) (Note that to Samba server, support for saving dos attributes has to be enabled for the SFU mount option to work). In the future this will also make implementation of creating special files as reparse points easier (as Windows NFS server does for example). root@smf-Thinkpad-P51:~# stat -c "%F" /mnt2/char character special file root@smf-Thinkpad-P51:~# stat -c "%F" /mnt2/block block special file Signed-off-by: Aurelien Aptel <aaptel@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Steve French <stfrench@microsoft.com> Reviewed-by: Ronnie Sahlberg <lsahlber@redhat.com> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
