[Samba] ANNOUNCE: cifs-utils release 4.6 available for download

It has been a while since I've cut a new release for cifs-utils. This
one has more visible changes than were in the last few releases. Major
highlights:

- - documentation additions for the fsc option

- - mount.cifs deals with _netdev, mand and nomand options correctly now

- - a change in how mount.cifs handles the MS_MANDLOCK flag. It used to
  set it by default and you had to specify "nolock" or "nobrl" to turn
  it off. Now, it's off by default and you need to specify the "mand"
  option to turn it on. This is more in line with how other filesystems
  deal with mandatory locking. In practice, we hardly ever want the
  kernel to enforce mandatory locking -- the server deals with that.

- - cifs.upcall will now preferentially use the creduid= upcall option
  rather than uid=. This makes mounting with krb5 work more as expected.
  The credcache is now always expected to be owned by the real uid
  of the mount process, rather than the value in the uid= option. A
  command-line option is provided for those who need legacy behavior.

    cifs.upcall: swap c99 initializers for memset calls

    gcc says:

    cifs.upcall.c: In function ‘cifs_krb5_get_req’:
    cifs.upcall.c:261:2: warning: missing initializer
    cifs.upcall.c:261:2: warning: (near initialization for ‘in_creds.client’)
    cifs.upcall.c: In function ‘main’:
    cifs.upcall.c:622:9: warning: missing initializer
    cifs.upcall.c:622:9: warning: (near initialization for ‘arg.ver’)

    ...this is probably just gcc being balky, but we can silence the
    warning. It may also be a micro optimization in an error condition
    if we delay zeroing out the struct until it's needed.

    mount.cifs: document the 'fsc' mount option

    Changes since last post:
    	- added the information about the kernel CONFIG option
    	- also added the information that caching is currently enabled for files opened as read-only

    Document the newly added local caching feature using FS-Cache. This patch
    could be queued and considered once the local caching patches gets merged
    upstream.

    mount.cifs: handle the "mand" and "nomand" mount options (try #2)

    These are filesystem-independent mount options that get passed to
    mount.cifs too. Handle them appropriately by enabling and disabling
    MS_MANDLOCK and not handing them off to the kernel.

    Also, don't set MS_MANDLOCK by default. There's no reason to ask the
    kernel to enforce mandatory locking by default. This also matches
    up better with the way that "mand" is set in the mtab.

    mount.cifs: ignore the "_netdev" mount option

    This mount options is used to clue in init scripts that the filesystem
    shouldn't be mounted until networking is available. /bin/mount also passes
    that option to the filesystem however, and cifs currently chokes on it.
    mount.nfs ignores this option -- have mount.cifs do the same.

    cifs.upcall: require a uid= or creduid= parm

    Even though all known kernels send the uid= parm to userspace,
    cifs.upcall doesn't technically require it. It should though. If one
    wasn't sent for some reason, then the setuid wouldn't occur. Error out
    if there is no uid= or creduid= parm.

    cifs.upcall: use "creduid=" parm by default when available

    When I did the original krb5 implementation, I goofed and ended up making
    it so that when someone specifies the "uid=" mount option that also affects
    the owner of the krb5 credential cache and not just the ownership of the
    mount. I'm proposing a patch for the kernel to attempt to fix this by
    making the kernel send a "creduid=" parameter in the upcall which is
    intended to be the user that should own the credentials cache.

    That's not necessarily the same user that has "ownership" of the mount.
    Usually the creduid= will be set to the real uid of the user doing the
    want it to behave like it used to.

    mount.cifs: switch to using _PATH_MNTTAB and paths.h

    The code currently uses fstab.h and _PATH_FSTAB, but uClibc apparently
    doesn't have that header. It does have paths.h and _PATH_MNTTAB however
    and so does glibc, so use that instead.

    Fixes samba bug #7539.
