add new module parameter 'enable_oplocks'
Thus spake Jeff Layton:
"Making that a module parm would allow you to set that parameter at boot
time without needing to add special startup scripts. IMO, all of the
procfile "switches" under /proc/fs/cifs should be module parms
instead."
This patch doesn't alter the default behavior (Oplocks are enabled by
default).
To disable oplocks when loading the module, use
modprobe cifs enable_oplocks=0
(any of '0' or 'n' or 'N' conventions can be used).
To disable oplocks at runtime using the new interface, use
echo 0 > /sys/module/cifs/parameters/enable_oplocks
The older /proc/fs/cifs/OplockEnabled interface will be deprecated
after two releases. A subsequent patch will add an warning message
about this deprecation.
Changes since v2:
- make enable_oplocks a 'bool'
Changes since v1:
- eliminate the use of extra variable by renaming the old one to
enable_oplocks and make it an 'int' type.
