cifs: add mount parameter tcpnodelay
Although corking and uncorking the socket (which cifs.ko already does) should usually have the desired benefit, using the new tcpnodelay mount option causes tcp_sock_set_nodelay() to be set on the socket which may be useful in order to ensure that we don't ever have cases where the network stack is waiting on sending an SMB request until multiple SMB requests have been added to the send queue (since this could lead to long latencies). To enable it simply append "tcpnodelay" it to the mount options Reviewed-by: Paulo Alcantara (SUSE) <pc@cjr.nz> Signed-off-by: Steve French <stfrench@microsoft.com>
