If functions like cifs_negotiate_protocol, cifs_setup_session,
cifs_tree_connect are called in parallel on different channels,
each of these will be execute the requests. This maybe unnecessary
in some cases, and only the first caller may need to do the work.
This is achieved by having more states for the tcp/smb/tcon session
status fields. And tracking the state of reconnection based on the
state machine.
For example:
for tcp connections:
CifsNew/CifsNeedReconnect ->
CifsNeedNegotiate ->
CifsInNegotiate ->
CifsNeedSessSetup ->
CifsInSessSetup ->
CifsGood
for smb sessions:
CifsNew/CifsNeedReconnect ->
CifsGood
for tcon:
CifsNew/CifsNeedReconnect ->
CifsInFilesInvalidate ->
CifsNeedTcon ->
CifsInTcon ->
CifsGood
If any channel reconnect sees that it's in the middle of
transition to CifsGood, then they can skip the function.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
