Inconsistency in calls to SMB_VFS_STAT ...

[Richard Sharpe]

Hi folks,

When helping someone who is doing a VFS module recently, I noticed an
inconsistency in the what that SMB_VFS_STAT is called:

1. When a share is first connected to, Samba calls SMB_VFS_STAT on the
absolute path that the share is declared to be at.

2. On all other cases (I believe) it is called with a pathname that
relative to the root of the share.

I can document this in the VFS documentation, but it would be nice,
perhaps to have a flag passed to stat that tells the module writer if
the current call is for Samba's internal purposes (absolute path name)
or for a user request (relative path name ).

Does anyone have any strong feelings about this either way?
