Subject[PATCH 119/145] [CIFS] use sensible file nlink values if unprovided
Date
3.8.13.5 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Steve French <smfrench@gmail.com>

commit 6658b9f70ebca5fc0795b1d6d733996af1e2caa7 upstream.

Certain servers may not set the NumberOfLinks field in query file/path
info responses. In such a case, cifs_inode_needs_reval() assumes that
all regular files are hardlinks and triggers revalidation, leading to
excessive and unnecessary network traffic.

This change hardcodes cf_nlink (and subsequently i_nlink) when not
returned by the server, similar to what already occurs in cifs_mkdir().
