cifs: Add DFS cache routines
* Add new dfs_cache.[ch] files
* Add new /proc/fs/cifs/dfscache file
- dump current cache when read
- clear current cache when writing "0" to it
* Add delayed_work to periodically refresh cache entries
The new interface will be used for caching DFS referrals, as well as
supporting client target failover.
The DFS cache is a hashtable that maps UNC paths to cache entries.
A cache entry contains:
- the UNC path it is mapped on
- how much the the UNC path the entry consumes
- flags
- a Time-To-Live after which the entry expires
- a list of possible targets (linked lists of UNC paths)
- a "hint target" pointing the last known working target or the first
target if none were tried. This hint lets cifs.ko remember and try
working targets first.
* Looking for an entry in the cache is done with dfs_cache_find()
- if no valid entries are found, a DFS query is made, stored in the
cache and returned
- the full target list can be copied and returned to avoid race
conditions and looped on with the help with the
dfs_cache_tgt_iterator
* Updating the target hint to the next target is done with
dfs_cache_update_tgthint()
These functions have a dfs_cache_noreq_XXX() version that doesn't
fetches referrals if no entries are found. These versions don't
require the tcp/ses/tcon/cifs_sb parameters as a result.
Expired entries cannot be used and since they have a pretty short TTL
[1] in order for them to be useful for failover the DFS cache adds a
delayed work called periodically to keep them fresh.
Since we might not have available connections to issue the referral
request when refreshing we need to store volume_info structs with
credentials and other needed info to be able to connect to the right
server.
1: Windows defaults: 5mn for domain-based referrals, 30mn for regular
links
