PATCH] cifs: fix broken mounts when a SSH tunnel is used (try #4)



One more try..

It seems there is a regression that got introduced while Jeff fixed
all the mount/umount races. While attempting to find whether a tcp
session is already existing, we were not checking whether the "port"
used are the same. When a second mount is attempted with a different
"port=" option, it is being ignored. Because of this the cifs mounts
that uses a SSH tunnel appears to be broken.

Steps to reproduce:

1. create 2 shares
# SSH Tunnel a SMB session
2. ssh -f -L 6111:127.0.0.1:445 root@localhost "sleep 86400"
3. ssh -f -L 6222:127.0.0.1:445 root@localhost "sleep 86400"
4. tcpdump -i lo 6111 &
5. mkdir -p /mnt/mnt1
6. mkdir -p /mnt/mnt2
7. mount.cifs //localhost/a /mnt/mnt1 -o username=guest,ip=127.0.0.1,port=6111
#(shows tcpdump activity on port 6111)
8. mount.cifs //localhost/b /mnt/mnt2 -o username=guest,ip=127.0.0.1,port=6222
#(shows tcpdump activity only on port 6111 and not on 6222

Fix by adding a check to compare the port _only_ if the user tries to
override the tcp port with "port=" option, before deciding that an
existing tcp session is found. Also, clean up a bit by replacing
if-else if by a switch statment while at it as suggested by Jeff.
