      [CIFS] fixup prefixpaths which contain multiple path components · 03a143c9
      Steve French 提交于
      Currently, when we get a prefixpath as part of mount, the kernel only
      changes the first character to be a '/' or '\' depending on whether
      posix extensions are enabled. This is problematic as it expects
      mount.cifs to pass in the correct delimiter in the rest of the
      prefixpath. But, mount.cifs may not know *what* the correct delimiter
      is. It's a chicken and egg problem.
      
      Note that mount.cifs should not do conversion of the
      prefixpath - if we want posix behavior then '\' is legal in a path
      (and we have had bugs in the distant path to prove to me that
      customers sometimes have apps that require '\').  The kernel code
      assumes that the path passed in is posix (and current code will handle
      the first path component fine but was broken for Windows mounts
      for "deep" prefixpaths unless the user specified a prefixpath with '\'
      deep in it.   So e.g. with current kernel code:
      
      1) mount to //server/share/dir1 will work to all server types
      2) mount to //server/share/dir1/subdir1 will work to Samba
      3) mount to //server/share/dir1\\subdir1 will work to Windows
      
      But case two would fail to Windows without the fix.
      With the kernel cifs module fix case two now works.
