cifs: lower default wsize when unix extensions are not used
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit ce91acb upstream.

We've had some reports of servers (namely, the Solaris in-kernel CIFS
server) that don't deal properly with writes that are "too large" even
though they set CAP_LARGE_WRITE_ANDX. Change the default to better
mirror what windows clients do.
