cifs: support nested dfs links over reconnect
Mounting a dfs link that has nested links was already supported at mount(2), so make it work over reconnect as well. Make the following case work: * mount //root/dfs/link /mnt -o ... - final share: /server/share * in server settings - change target folder of /root/dfs/link3 to /server/share2 - change target folder of /root/dfs/link2 to /root/dfs/link3 - change target folder of /root/dfs/link to /root/dfs/link2 * mount -o remount,... /mnt - refresh all dfs referrals - mark current connection for failover - cifs_reconnect() reconnects to root server - tree_connect() * checks that /root/dfs/link2 is a link, then chase it * checks that root/dfs/link3 is a link, then chase it * finally tree connect to /server/share2 If the mounted share is no longer accessible and a reconnect had been triggered, the client will retry it from both last referral path (/root/dfs/link3) and original referral path (/root/dfs/link). Any new referral paths found while chasing dfs links over reconnect, it will be updated to TCP_Server_Info::leaf_fullpath, accordingly. Signed-off-by:Paulo Alcantara (SUSE) <pc@cjr.nz> Signed-off-by:
