CIFS: Print message when attempting a mount

Currently, no messages are printed when mounting a CIFS filesystem and no debug configuration is enabled. However, a CIFS mount information is valuable when troubleshooting and/or forensic analyzing a system and finding out if was a CIFS endpoint mount attempted. Other filesystems such as XFS, EXT* does issue a printk() when mounting their filesystems. A terse log message is printed only if cifsFYI is not enabled. Otherwise, the default full debug message is printed. In order to not clutter and classify correctly the event messages, these are logged as KERN_INFO level. Sample mount operations: [root@corinthians ~]# mount -o user=administrator //172.25.250.18/c$ /mnt (non-existent system) [root@corinthians ~]# mount -o user=administrator //172.25.250.19/c$ /mnt (Valid system) Kernel message log for the mount operations: [ 450.464543] CIFS: Attempting to mount //172.25.250.18/c$ [ 456.478186] CIFS VFS: Error connecting to socket. Aborting operation. [ 456.478381] CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -113 [ 467.688866] CIFS: Attempting to mount //172.25.250.19/c$ Signed-off-by: Rodrigo Freire <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Steve French <[email protected]>
