Subject: cifs: do not poll server interfaces too regularly
From: Shyam Prasad N <sprasad@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 072a28c8907c841f7d4b56c78bce46d3ee211e73 upstream.
We have the server interface list hanging off the tcon
structure today for reasons unknown. So each tcon which is
connected to a file server can query them separately,
which is really unnecessary. To avoid this, in the query
function, we will check the time of last update of the
interface list, and avoid querying the server if it is
within a certain range.
