    cifs: add SMB3 change notification support · d26c2ddd
    Steve French 提交于
    A commonly used SMB3 feature is change notification, allowing an
    app to be notified about changes to a directory. The SMB3
    Notify request blocks until the server detects a change to that
    directory or its contents that matches the completion flags
    that were passed in and the "watch_tree" flag (which indicates
    whether subdirectories under this directory should be also
    included).  See MS-SMB2 2.2.35 for additional detail.
    
    To use this simply pass in the following structure to ioctl:
    
     struct __attribute__((__packed__)) smb3_notify {
            uint32_t completion_filter;
            bool    watch_tree;
     } __packed;
    
     using CIFS_IOC_NOTIFY  0x4005cf09
     or equivalently _IOW(CIFS_IOCTL_MAGIC, 9, struct smb3_notify)
    
    SMB3 change notification is supported by all major servers.
    The ioctl will block until the server detects a change to that
    directory or its subdirectories (if watch_tree is set).
