I agree that using cifs_fattr structure rather than FILE_ALL_INFO simplifies things and makes the code cleaner. But we have a problem in the 3.11 stable branch and I think we should fix it without many patches (code changes). We can apply this patch for stable and then convert the code to use cifs_fattr structure in query path/file info in mainline.
