This allows userspace tools to query the raw info levels for cifs files
and process the response in userspace.
In particular this is useful for many of those data where there is no
corresponding native data structure in linux.
For example querying the security descriptor for a file and extract the
SIDs.

The server exports information about the share and underlying
device under an SMB3 export, including its attributes and
capabilities, which is stored by cifs.ko when first connecting
to the share.
Add ioctl to cifs.ko to allow user space smb3 helper utilities
(in cifs-utils) to display this (e.g. via smb3util).
This information is also useful for debugging and for
resolving configuration errors.
