One way of addressing this is to pass NULL FILE_ALL_INFO buffer to CIFSSMBOpen from cifs_create()/cifs_open()/cifs_mknod() so that cifs_get_file_info will call SMBQPathInfo to populate FILE_ALL_INFO, but it means additional QPATHINFO call. Another way is to get nlink value from CIFSSMBQPathInfo response by adding nlink to cifsInodeInfo struct.. Neither sounds quite convincing to me.. Any thoughts, other possible approaches?
