[PATCH 1/5] cifs: Fix access_flags_to_smbopen_mode

[Pali Rohár]

When converting access_flags to SMBOPEN mode, check for all possible access
flags, not only GENERIC_READ and GENERIC_WRITE flags.

[PATCH 2/5] cifs: Do not add FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES when using GENERIC_READ/EXECUTE/ALL

[Pali Rohár]

Individual bits GENERIC_READ, GENERIC_EXECUTE and GENERIC_ALL have meaning
which includes also access right for FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES. So specifying
FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES bit together with one of those GENERIC (except
GENERIC_WRITE) does not do anything.

This change prevents calling additional (fallback) code and sending more
requests without FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES when the primary request fails on
-EACCES, as it is not needed at all.

[PATCH 3/5] cifs: Improve SMB2+ stat() to work also on non-present name surrogate reparse points

[Pali Rohár]

SMB server returns STATUS_OBJECT_PATH_NOT_FOUND if the path exists, is the
reparse point of name surrogate type (e.g. mount point) and surrogate
target location does not exist.

So if the server returns STATUS_OBJECT_PATH_NOT_FOUND error then it is
required to send request again with OPEN_REPARSE_POINT flag. This is needed
to distinguish between path does not exist and path exists and points to
non-existent surrogate location.

Before this change, Linux SMB client returned for non-present name
surrogate reparse point -ENOENT error. With this change it correctly
returns that the entry exits, it is of directory type with filled stat
information.

[PATCH 4/5] cifs: Improve SMB2+ stat() to work also for paths in DELETE_PENDING state

[Pali Rohár]

Paths in DELETE_PENDING state cannot be opened at all. So standard way of
querying path attributes for this case is not possible.

There is an alternative way how to query limited information about file
over SMB2+ dialects without opening file itself. It is by opening the
parent directory, querying specific child with filled search filer and
asking for attributes for that child.

Implement this fallback when standard case in smb2_query_path_info fails
with STATUS_DELETE_PENDING error and stat was asked for path which is not
top level one (because top level does not have parent directory at all).

[PATCH 5/5] cifs: Improve detect_directory_symlink_target() function

[Pali Rohár]

Function detect_directory_symlink_target() is not curruntly able to detect
if the target path is directory in case the path is in the DELETE_PENDING
state or the user has not granted FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES permission on the
path. This limitation is written in TODO comment.

Resolve this problem by replacing code which determinate path type by the
query_path_info() callback, which now is able to handle all these cases.
