cifs: handle "sloppy" option appropriately
cifs.ko has historically been tolerant of options that it does not recognize. This is not normal behavior for a filesystem however. Usually, it should only do this if you mount with '-s', and autofs generally passes -s to the mount command to allow this behavior. This patch makes cifs handle the option "sloppy" appropriately. If it's present in the options string, then the client will tolerate options that it doesn't recognize. If it's not present then the client will error out in the presence of options that it does not recognize and throw an error message explaining why. There is also a companion patch being proposed for mount.cifs to make it append "sloppy" to the mount options when passed the '-s' flag. This also should (obviously) be applied on top of Sachin's conversion to the standard option parser. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Acked-By: Sachin Prabhu <sprabhu@redhat.com>
