[PATCH][SMB3] Allow skipping signing verification for perf sensitive use cases

[Steve French <smfrench@gmail.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 534 bytes --]

Add new mount option "signloosely" which enables signing but skips the
sometimes expensive signing checks in the responses (signatures are
calculated and sent correctly in the SMB2/SMB3 requests even with this
mount option but skipped in the responses).  Although weaker for security
(and also data integrity in case a packet were corrupted), this can provide
enough of a performance benefit (calculating the signature to verify a
packet can be expensive especially for large packets) to be useful in
some cases.

Subject: [PATCH] smb3: allow skipping signature verification for perf
 sensitive configurations

Add new mount option "signloosely" which enables signing but skips the
sometimes expensive signing checks in the responses (signatures are
calculated and sent correctly in the SMB2/SMB3 requests even with this
mount option but skipped in the responses).  Although weaker for security
(and also data integrity in case a packet were corrupted), this can provide
enough of a performance benefit (calculating the signature to verify a
packet can be expensive especially for large packets) to be useful in
some cases.
