    [CIFS] UID/GID override on CIFS mounts to Samba · 4523cc30
    Steve French authored
    When CIFS Unix Extensions are negotiated we get the Unix uid and gid
    owners of the file from the server (on the Unix Query Path Info
    levels), but if the server's uids don't match the client uid's users
    were having to disable the Unix Extensions (which turned off features
    they still wanted).   The changeset patch allows users to override uid
    and/or gid for file/directory owner with a default uid and/or gid
    specified at mount (as is often done when mounting from Linux cifs
    client to Windows server).  This changeset also displays the uid
    and gid used by default in /proc/mounts (if applicable).
    
    Also cleans up code by adding some of the missing spaces after
    "if" keywords per-kernel style guidelines (as suggested by Randy Dunlap
    when he reviewed the patch).
