Query File System Alignment
In SMB3 it is now possible to query the file system alignment info, and the preferred (for performance) sector size and whether the underlying disk has no seek penalty (like SSD). Query this information at mount time for SMB3, and make it visible in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData for debugging purposes. This alignment information and preferred sector size info will be helpful for the copy offload patches to setup the right chunks in the CopyChunk requests. Presumably the knowledge that the underlying disk is SSD could also help us make better readahead and writebehind decisions (something to look at in the future).
