    smb3: allow previous versions to be mounted with snapshot= mount parm · cdeaf9d0
    Steve French authored
    mounting with the "snapshots=" mount parm allows a read-only
    view of a previous version of a file system (see MS-SMB2
    and "timewarp" tokens, section 2.2.13.2.6) based on the timestamp
    passed in on the snapshots mount parm.
    
    Add processing to optionally send this create context.
    
    Example output:
    
    /mnt1 is mounted with "snapshots=..." and will see an earlier
    version of the directory, with three fewer files than /mnt2
    the current version of the directory.
    
    root@Ubuntu-17-Virtual-Machine:~/cifs-2.6# cat /proc/mounts | grep cifs

    Snapshots are extremely useful for comparing previous versions of files or directories,
    and recovering from data corruptions or mistakes.
