The 5 second timeout is probably too short. Some bad configs can use a
long time to connect, possibly more. 30?

Shouldn't "wq" be accessible to both smb_newconn and smb_proc_ops_wait?
I'd put it in the "server" struct and then have smb_newconn() do this
when it is done:
wake_up_interruptible_all(&server->ops_wq);

I don't know enough about wait_queue's to understand why it would work
otherwise. The only thing I can think of is that the condition is true
before it actually waits on anything.

Since install_ops isn't the last thing done in smb_newconn perhaps a
different variable should be used to signal that a new connection is
there. I would suggest using "server->state == CONN_VALID" and then move
that assignment to the end of smb_newconn.


I'm guessing read/write/truncate can't be called before smb_newconn since
they all require a file to be opened, and open needs getattr (or?). But
just to be safe how about adding the code below?

static int
smb_proc_ops_bug(void)
{
BUG();
}

static struct smb_ops smb_ops_null =
{
.readdir = smb_proc_readdir_null,
.getattr = smb_proc_getattr_null,
.read = (void *) smb_proc_ops_bug,
.write = (void *) smb_proc_ops_bug,
.truncate = (void *) smb_proc_ops_bug,
};

If the void* can be avoided by something clever then that is what I really
meant :)

If you are in cleanup mode the following changes should probably be made:

server->rcls replaced by req->rq_rcls
server->err replaced by req->rq_err

and remove the server->{rcls,err} fields.
