[linux-cifs-client] [PATCH 0/7] [CIFS] clean up cifs_setattr and fix setting of mtimes

[Jeff Layton]

This patch breaks up the large and unwieldy cifs_setattr function into
multiple pieces. In addition to making the function easier to follow and
reducing indentation, this should also make it easier to implement a
scheme to reduce the amount of times that we retry functions that we
know will fail to a particular server. It also fixes the setting of
mtimes (LastWriteTime) on open files with Windows servers.

This patch is based on top of the "dynperm" patchset that I've been
posting, but which is not yet committed.

Comments and/or suggestions appreciated...
