cifs: Invoke id mapping functions (try #17 repost)
rb tree search and insertion routines.
A SID which needs to be mapped, is looked up in one of the rb trees
depending on whether SID is either owner or group SID.
If found in the tree, a (mapped) id from that node is assigned to
uid or gid as appropriate. If unmapped, an upcall is attempted to
map the SID to an id. If upcall is successful, node is marked as
mapped. If upcall fails, node stays marked as unmapped and a mapping
is attempted again only after an arbitrary time period has passed.
To map a SID, which can be either a Owner SID or a Group SID, key
description starts with the string "os" or "gs" followed by SID converted
to a string. Without "os" or "gs", cifs.upcall does not know whether
SID needs to be mapped to either an uid or a gid.
Nodes in rb tree have fields to prevent multiple upcalls for
a SID. Searching, adding, and removing nodes is done within global locks.
Whenever a node is either found or inserted in a tree, a reference
is taken on that node.
Shrinker routine prunes a node if it has expired but does not prune
an expired node if its refcount is not zero (i.e. sid/id of that node
is_being/will_be accessed).
Thus a node, if its SID needs to be mapped by making an upcall,
can safely stay and its fields accessed without shrinker pruning it.
A reference (refcount) is put on the node without holding the spinlock
but a reference is get on the node by holding the spinlock.
Every time an existing mapped node is accessed or mapping is attempted,
its timestamp is updated to prevent it from getting erased or a
to prevent multiple unnecessary repeat mapping retries respectively.
For now, cifs.upcall is only used to map a SID to an id (uid or gid) but
it would be used to obtain an SID for an id.
