This patch is the second patch to attempt to fix up some of the problems with mounting subdirectories of shares. The earlier patch didn't handle this correctly when POSIX extensions were enabled. This one does. This is a bit of a confusing area since the different components of a service string have different rules: 1) hostname: no '/' (slash) or '\' (backslash) is allowed to be embedded within the string 2) sharename: same rules as hostname 3) prefixpath: '\' *is* allowed to be embedded in a path component, iff POSIX extensions are enabled. Otherwise, neither character is allowed. The idea here is to allow either character to act as a delimiter when we know that the character can't be anything but a delimiter (namely everywhere up to the start of the prefixpath). The patch will convert any '\' unconditionally to '/' in the UNC portion of the string. However, inside the prefixpath, we can't make assumptions about what constitutes a delimiter because POSIX allows for embedded '\' characters. So there we don't attempt to do any conversion, and pass the prefixpath to the kernel as is. Once the kernel determines whether POSIX extensions are enabled, it can then convert the path if needed and it's able to do so. A patch to handle this has already been committed to the cifs-2.6 git tree. This patch also fixes an annoyance. When you mount a subdir of a share, mount.cifs munges the device string so that you can't tell what the prefixpath is. So if I mount: //server/share/p1/p2/p3 ..then /proc/mounts and mtab will show only: //server/share Finally, it also tries to apply some consistent rules to the uppercasing of strings.
