Shyam Prasad N d7d7a66aac cifs: avoid use of global locks for high contention data
During analysis of multichannel perf, it was seen that
the global locks cifs_tcp_ses_lock and GlobalMid_Lock, which
were shared between various data structures were causing a
lot of contention points.

With this change, we're breaking down the use of these locks
by introducing new locks at more granular levels. i.e.
server->srv_lock, ses->ses_lock and tcon->tc_lock to protect
the unprotected fields of server, session and tcon structs;
and server->mid_lock to protect mid related lists and entries
at server level.

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.
