Yes! Nice work. This is clearly the right approach for merging SMB2
support into the kernel. Extend the CIFS code to do what we need and
share as much code as possible between the SMB1 and SMB2 support. By
doing this piecemeal too we can avoid a wholesale "code dump" into the
kernel.

Some comments below.

Currently, it's not clear whether the inFlight counter is protected by
the GlobalMid_lock or not. Ditto for this new counter. If it is
protected by it, then there's no need for it to be an atomic value. The
locking around this needs to be explicitly clear to avoid later bugs
when we tinker with this code.

Also, should we just replace the inFlight counter with the credits
counter? Is there some way to calculate the # of requests in flight given
the value of "credits" in the SMB2 case?

I haven't gotten to your later patches so I may be reviewing
prematurely, but I think we need to rethink the code above. Allowing
the client to exceed the maxmpx is clearly problematic. Rather than
doing that we ought to attempt to keep 2 credits in reserve at any
given time -- one for oplock breaks and one for echo requests.

If MaxMpx 2, then we should disable oplocks. If it's 1, then we
should disable echoes and oplocks. The latter case may take some overhaul
of how the echo timeout handling works.
