checkpatch complains about source files with filenames (e.g. in
these cases just below the SPDX header in comments at the top of
various files in fs/cifs). It also is helpful to change this now
so will be less confusing when the parent directory is renamed
e.g. from fs/cifs to fs/smb_client (or fs/smbfs)

We recently fixed DNS resolution of the server hostname during reconnect.
However, server IP address may change, even when the old one continues
to server (although sub-optimally).
We should schedule the next DNS resolution based on the TTL of
the DNS record used for the last resolution. This way, we resolve the
server hostname again when a DNS record expires.

Separate out the DNS resolver key type from the CIFS filesystem into its own
module so that it can be made available for general use, including the AFS
filesystem module.
This facility makes it possible for the kernel to upcall to userspace to have
it issue DNS requests, package up the replies and present them to the kernel
in a useful form. The kernel is then able to cache the DNS replies as keys
can be retained in keyrings.
Resolver keys are of type "dns_resolver" and have a case-insensitive
description that is of the form "[<type>:]<domain_name>". The optional <type>
indicates the particular DNS lookup and packaging that's required. The
<domain_name> is the query to be made.
If <type> isn't given, a basic hostname to IP address lookup is made, and the
result is stored in the key in the form of a printable string consisting of a
comma-separated list of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
This key type is supported by userspace helpers driven from /sbin/request-key
and configured through /etc/request-key.conf. The cifs.upcall utility is
invoked for UNC path server name to IP address resolution.
The CIFS functionality is encapsulated by the dns_resolve_unc_to_ip() function,
which is used to resolve a UNC path to an IP address for CIFS filesystem. This
part remains in the CIFS module for now.
See the added Documentation/networking/dns_resolver.txt for more information.

Remove the __exit mark from cifs_exit_dns_resolver() as it's called by the
module init routine in case of error, and so may have been discarded during
linkage.

Fix the security problem in the CIFS filesystem DNS lookup code in which a
malicious redirect could be installed by a random user by simply adding a
result record into one of their keyrings with add_key() and then invoking a
CIFS CFS lookup [CVE-2010-2524].
This is done by creating an internal keyring specifically for the caching of
DNS lookups. To enforce the use of this keyring, the module init routine
creates a set of override credentials with the keyring installed as the thread
keyring and instructs request_key() to only install lookup result keys in that
keyring.
The override is then applied around the call to request_key().
This has some additional benefits when a kernel service uses this module to
request a key:
(1) The result keys are owned by root, not the user that caused the lookup.
(2) The result keys don't pop up in the user's keyrings.
(3) The result keys don't come out of the quota of the user that caused the
lookup.
The keyring can be viewed as root by doing cat /proc/keys:
2a0ca6c3 I----- 1 perm 1f030000 0 0 keyring .dns_resolver: 1/4
It can then be listed with 'keyctl list' by root.
# keyctl list 0x2a0ca6c3
1 key in keyring:
726766307: --alswrv 0 0 dns_resolver: foo.bar.com
