Modify cifs Kconfig options to expose CONFIG_CIFS_STATS2 +Fix SFU style symlinks and mknod needed for servers which do not support the +CIFS Unix Extensions. Fix setfacl/getfacl on bigendian. Timeout negative +dentries so files that the client sees as deleted but that later get created +on the server will be recognized.

Fix oops in dnotify +when experimental config flag enabled. Make cifsFYI more granular. + +Version 1.37 +------------ +Fix readdir caching when unlink removes file in current search buffer, +and this is followed by a rewind search to just before the deleted entry. +Do not attempt to set ctime unless atime and/or mtime change requested +(most servers throw it away anyway). Fix length check of received smbs +to be more accurate. Fix big endian problem with mapchars mount option, +and with a field returned by statfs. + +Version 1.36 +------------ +Add support for mounting to older pre-CIFS servers such as Windows9x and ME. +For these older servers, add option for passing netbios name of server in +on mount (servernetbiosname). Add suspend support for power management, to +avoid cifsd thread preventing software suspend from working. +Add mount option for disabling the default behavior of sending byte range lock +requests to the server (necessary for certain applications which break with +mandatory lock behavior such as Evolution), and also mount option for +requesting case insensitive matching for path based requests (requesting +case sensitive is the default). + Version 1.35 ------------ Add writepage performance improvements.
