First 1/2 of changes needed to support SMB3.1.1 POSIX Extensions support for getattr (stat) - the main remaining item left for the Linux kernel client support of the SMB3.1.1 POSIX Extensions. The patch from Aurelien allows SMB2_open() callers to pass down a POSIX data buffer that will trigger requesting POSIX create context and parsing the response into the provided buffer, and the second patch fixes some minor problems with the first patch. -- Thanks, Steve
