+ * Find a free multiplex id (SMB mid). Otherwise there could be
+ * mid collisions which might cause problems, demultiplexing the
+ * wrong response to this request. Multiplex ids could collide if
+ * one of a series requests takes much longer than the others, or
+ * if a very large number of long lived requests (byte range
+ * locks or FindNotify requests) are pending. No more than
+ * 64K-1 requests can be outstanding at one time. If no
+ * mids are available, return zero. A future optimization
+ * could make the combination of mids and uid the key we use
+ * to demultiplex on (rather than mid alone).
+ * In addition to the above check, the cifs demultiplex
+ * code already used the command code as a secondary
+ * check of the frame and if signing is negotiated the
+ * response would be discarded if the mid were the same
+ * but the signature was wrong. Since the mid is not put in the
+ * pending queue until later (when it is about to be dispatched)
+ * we do have to limit the number of outstanding requests
+ * to somewhat less than 64K-1 although it is hard to imagine
+ * so many threads being in the vfs at one time.
