3 Fix premature write failure on congested networks (we would give up
4 on EAGAIN from the socket too quickly on large writes).
5 Cifs_mkdir and cifs_create now respect the setgid bit on parent dir.
6 Fix endian problems in acl (mode from/to cifs acl) on bigendian
7 architectures. Fix problems with preserving timestamps on copying open
8 files (e.g. "cp -a") to Windows servers. For mkdir and create honor setgid bit
9 on parent directory when server supports Unix Extensions but not POSIX
10 create. Update cifs.upcall version to handle new Kerberos sec flags
11 (this requires update of cifs.upcall program from Samba).
15 DFS support added (Microsoft Distributed File System client support needed
16 for referrals which enable a hierarchical name space among servers).
17 Disable temporary caching of mode bits to servers which do not support
18 storing of mode (e.g. Windows servers, when client mounts without cifsacl
19 mount option) and add new "dynperm" mount option to enable temporary caching
20 of mode (enable old behavior). Fix hang on mount caused when server crashes
21 tcp session during negotiate protocol.
25 Fix oops on second mount to server when null auth is used.
26 Enable experimental Kerberos support. Return writebehind errors on flush
27 and sync so that events like out of disk space get reported properly on
28 cached files. Fix setxattr failure to certain Samba versions. Fix mount
29 of second share to disconnected server session (autoreconnect on this).
30 Add ability to modify cifs acls for handling chmod (when mounted with
31 cifsacl flag). Fix prefixpath path separator so we can handle mounts
32 with prefixpaths longer than one directory (one path component) when
33 mounted to Windows servers. Fix slow file open when cifsacl
34 enabled. Fix memory leak in FindNext when the SMB call returns -EBADF.
39 Fix memory leak in statfs when mounted to very old servers (e.g.
40 Windows 9x). Add new feature "POSIX open" which allows servers
41 which support the current POSIX Extensions to provide better semantics
42 (e.g. delete for open files opened with posix open). Take into
43 account umask on posix mkdir not just older style mkdir. Add
44 ability to mount to IPC$ share (which allows CIFS named pipes to be
45 opened, read and written as if they were files). When 1st tree
46 connect fails (e.g. due to signing negotiation failure) fix
47 leak that causes cifsd not to stop and rmmod to fail to cleanup
48 cifs_request_buffers pool. Fix problem with POSIX Open/Mkdir on
49 bigendian architectures. Fix possible memory corruption when
50 EAGAIN returned on kern_recvmsg. Return better error if server
51 requires packet signing but client has disabled it. When mounted
52 with cifsacl mount option - mode bits are approximated based
53 on the contents of the ACL of the file or directory. When cifs
54 mount helper is missing convert make sure that UNC name
55 has backslash (not forward slash) between ip address of server
60 Fix NTLMv2 signing. NFS server mounted over cifs works (if cifs mount is
61 done with "serverino" mount option). Add support for POSIX Unlink
62 (helps with certain sharing violation cases when server such as
63 Samba supports newer POSIX CIFS Protocol Extensions). Add "nounix"
64 mount option to allow disabling the CIFS Unix Extensions for just
65 that mount. Fix hang on spinlock in find_writable_file (race when
66 reopening file after session crash). Byte range unlock request to
67 windows server could unlock more bytes (on server copy of file)
68 than intended if start of unlock request is well before start of
69 a previous byte range lock that we issued.
73 IPv6 support. Enable ipv6 addresses to be passed on mount (put the ipv6
74 address after the "ip=" mount option, at least until mount.cifs is fixed to
75 handle DNS host to ipv6 name translation). Accept override of uid or gid
76 on mount even when Unix Extensions are negotiated (it used to be ignored
77 when Unix Extensions were ignored). This allows users to override the
78 default uid and gid for files when they are certain that the uids or
79 gids on the server do not match those of the client. Make "sec=none"
80 mount override username (so that null user connection is attempted)
81 to match what documentation said. Support for very large reads, over 127K,
82 available to some newer servers (such as Samba 3.0.26 and later but
83 note that it also requires setting CIFSMaxBufSize at module install
84 time to a larger value which may hurt performance in some cases).
85 Make sign option force signing (or fail if server does not support it).
89 Fix mtime bouncing around from local idea of last write times to remote time.
90 Fix hang (in i_size_read) when simultaneous size update of same remote file
91 on smp system corrupts sequence number. Do not reread unnecessarily partial page
92 (which we are about to overwrite anyway) when writing out file opened rw.
93 When DOS attribute of file on non-Unix server's file changes on the server side
94 from read-only back to read-write, reflect this change in default file mode
95 (we had been leaving a file's mode read-only until the inode were reloaded).
96 Allow setting of attribute back to ATTR_NORMAL (removing readonly dos attribute
97 when archive dos attribute not set and we are changing mode back to writeable
98 on server which does not support the Unix Extensions). Remove read only dos
99 attribute on chmod when adding any write permission (ie on any of
100 user/group/other (not all of user/group/other ie 0222) when
101 mounted to windows. Add support for POSIX MkDir (slight performance
102 enhancement and eliminates the network race between the mkdir and set
103 path info of the mode).
108 Fix oops in list_del during mount caused by unaligned string.
109 Fix file corruption which could occur on some large file
110 copies caused by writepages page i/o completion bug.
111 Seek to SEEK_END forces check for update of file size for non-cached
112 files. Allow file size to be updated on remote extend of locally open,
113 non-cached file. Fix reconnect to newer Samba servers (or other servers
114 which support the CIFS Unix/POSIX extensions) so that we again tell the
115 server the Unix/POSIX cifs capabilities which we support (SetFSInfo).
116 Add experimental support for new POSIX Open/Mkdir (which returns
117 stat information on the open, and allows setting the mode).
121 Support deep tree mounts. Better support OS/2, Win9x (DOS) time stamps.
122 Allow null user to be specified on mount ("username="). Do not return
123 EINVAL on readdir when filldir fails due to overwritten blocksize
124 (fixes FC problem). Return error in rename 2nd attempt retry (ie report
125 if rename by handle also fails, after rename by path fails, we were
126 not reporting whether the retry worked or not). Fix NTLMv2 to
127 work to Windows servers (mount with option "sec=ntlmv2").
131 Do not time out lockw calls when using posix extensions. Do not
132 time out requests if server still responding reasonably fast
133 on requests on other threads. Improve POSIX locking emulation,
134 (lock cancel now works, and unlock of merged range works even
135 to Windows servers now). Fix oops on mount to lanman servers
136 (win9x, os/2 etc.) when null password. Do not send listxattr
137 (SMB to query all EAs) if nouser_xattr specified. Fix SE Linux
138 problem (instantiate inodes/dentries in right order for readdir).
142 Rewritten sessionsetup support, including support for legacy SMB
143 session setup needed for OS/2 and older servers such as Windows 95 and 98.
144 Fix oops on ls to OS/2 servers. Add support for level 1 FindFirst
145 so we can do search (ls etc.) to OS/2. Do not send NTCreateX
146 or recent levels of FindFirst unless server says it supports NT SMBs
147 (instead use legacy equivalents from LANMAN dialect). Fix to allow
148 NTLMv2 authentication support (now can use stronger password hashing
149 on mount if corresponding /proc/fs/cifs/SecurityFlags is set (0x4004).
150 Allow override of global cifs security flags on mount via "sec=" option(s).
154 POSIX locking to servers which support CIFS POSIX Extensions
155 (disabled by default controlled by proc/fs/cifs/Experimental).
156 Handle conversion of long share names (especially Asian languages)
157 to Unicode during mount. Fix memory leak in sess struct on reconnect.
158 Fix rare oops after acpi suspend. Fix O_TRUNC opens to overwrite on
159 cifs open which helps rare case when setpathinfo fails or server does
164 Fix slow oplock break when mounted to different servers at the same time and
165 the tids match and we try to find matching fid on wrong server. Fix read
166 looping when signing required by server (2.6.16 kernel only). Fix readdir
167 vs. rename race which could cause each to hang. Return . and .. even
168 if server does not. Allow searches to skip first three entries and
169 begin at any location. Fix oops in find_writeable_file.
173 Fix NTLMv2 security (can be enabled in /proc/fs/cifs) so customers can
174 configure stronger authentication. Fix sfu symlinks so they can
175 be followed (not just recognized). Fix wraparound of bcc on
176 read responses when buffer size over 64K and also fix wrap of
177 max smb buffer size when CIFSMaxBufSize over 64K. Fix oops in
178 cifs_user_read and cifs_readpages (when EAGAIN on send of smb
179 on socket is returned over and over). Add POSIX (advisory) byte range
180 locking support (requires server with newest CIFS UNIX Extensions
181 to the protocol implemented). Slow down negprot slightly in port 139
182 RFC1001 case to give session_init time on buggy servers.
186 Use fsuid (fsgid) more consistently instead of uid (gid). Improve performance
187 of readpages by eliminating one extra memcpy. Allow update of file size
188 from remote server even if file is open for write as long as mount is
189 directio. Recognize share mode security and send NTLM encrypted password
190 on tree connect if share mode negotiated.
194 Defer close of a file handle slightly if pending writes depend on that handle
195 (this reduces the EBADF bad file handle errors that can be logged under heavy
196 stress on writes). Modify cifs Kconfig options to expose CONFIG_CIFS_STATS2
197 Fix SFU style symlinks and mknod needed for servers which do not support the
198 CIFS Unix Extensions. Fix setfacl/getfacl on bigendian. Timeout negative
199 dentries so files that the client sees as deleted but that later get created
200 on the server will be recognized. Add client side permission check on setattr.
201 Timeout stuck requests better (where server has never responded or sent corrupt
206 Fix tcp socket retransmission timeouts (e.g. on ENOSPACE from the socket)
207 to be smaller at first (but increasing) so large write performance performance
208 over GigE is better. Do not hang thread on illegal byte range lock response
209 from Windows (Windows can send an RFC1001 size which does not match smb size) by
210 allowing an SMBs TCP length to be up to a few bytes longer than it should be.
211 wsize and rsize can now be larger than negotiated buffer size if server
212 supports large readx/writex, even when directio mount flag not specified.
213 Write size will in many cases now be 16K instead of 4K which greatly helps
214 file copy performance on lightly loaded networks. Fix oops in dnotify
215 when experimental config flag enabled. Make cifsFYI more granular.
219 Fix readdir caching when unlink removes file in current search buffer,
220 and this is followed by a rewind search to just before the deleted entry.
221 Do not attempt to set ctime unless atime and/or mtime change requested
222 (most servers throw it away anyway). Fix length check of received smbs
223 to be more accurate. Fix big endian problem with mapchars mount option,
224 and with a field returned by statfs.
228 Add support for mounting to older pre-CIFS servers such as Windows9x and ME.
229 For these older servers, add option for passing netbios name of server in
230 on mount (servernetbiosname). Add suspend support for power management, to
231 avoid cifsd thread preventing software suspend from working.
232 Add mount option for disabling the default behavior of sending byte range lock
233 requests to the server (necessary for certain applications which break with
234 mandatory lock behavior such as Evolution), and also mount option for
235 requesting case insensitive matching for path based requests (requesting
236 case sensitive is the default).
240 Add writepage performance improvements. Fix path name conversions
241 for long filenames on mounts which were done with "mapchars" mount option
242 specified. Ensure multiplex ids do not collide. Fix case in which
243 rmmod can oops if done soon after last unmount. Fix truncated
244 search (readdir) output when resume filename was a long filename.
245 Fix filename conversion when mapchars mount option was specified and
246 filename was a long filename.
250 Fix error mapping of the TOO_MANY_LINKS (hardlinks) case.
251 Do not oops if root user kills cifs oplock kernel thread or
252 kills the cifsd thread (NB: killing the cifs kernel threads is not
253 recommended, unmount and rmmod cifs will kill them when they are
254 no longer needed). Fix readdir to ASCII servers (ie older servers
255 which do not support Unicode) and also require asterisk.
256 Fix out of memory case in which data could be written one page
257 off in the page cache.
261 Fix caching problem, in which readdir of directory containing a file
262 which was cached could cause the file's time stamp to be updated
263 without invalidating the readahead data (so we could get stale
264 file data on the client for that file even as the server copy changed).
265 Cleanup response processing so cifsd can not loop when abnormally
271 Fix oops in ls when Transact2 FindFirst (or FindNext) returns more than one
272 transact response for an SMB request and search entry split across two frames.
273 Add support for lsattr (getting ext2/ext3/reiserfs attr flags from the server)
274 as new protocol extensions. Do not send Get/Set calls for POSIX ACLs
275 unless server explicitly claims to support them in CIFS Unix extensions
276 POSIX ACL capability bit. Fix packet signing when multiuser mounting with
277 different users from the same client to the same server. Fix oops in
278 cifs_close. Add mount option for remapping reserved characters in
279 filenames (also allow recognizing files with created by SFU which have any
280 of these seven reserved characters, except backslash, to be recognized).
281 Fix invalid transact2 message (we were sometimes trying to interpret
282 oplock breaks as SMB responses). Add ioctl for checking that the
283 current uid matches the uid of the mounter (needed by umount.cifs).
284 Reduce the number of large buffer allocations in cifs response processing
285 (significantly reduces memory pressure under heavy stress with multiple
286 processes accessing the same server at the same time).
290 Fix updates of DOS attributes and time fields so that files on NT4 servers
291 do not get marked delete on close. Display sizes of cifs buffer pools in
292 cifs stats. Fix oops in unmount when cifsd thread being killed by
293 shutdown. Add generic readv/writev and aio support. Report inode numbers
294 consistently in readdir and lookup (when serverino mount option is
295 specified use the inode number that the server reports - for both lookup
296 and readdir, otherwise by default the locally generated inode number is used
297 for inodes created in either path since servers are not always able to
298 provide unique inode numbers when exporting multiple volumes from under one
303 Allow new nouser_xattr mount parm to disable xattr support for user namespace.
304 Do not flag user_xattr mount parm in dmesg. Retry failures setting file time
305 (mostly affects NT4 servers) by retry with handle based network operation.
306 Add new POSIX Query FS Info for returning statfs info more accurately.
307 Handle passwords with multiple commas in them.
311 Fix default mode in sysfs of cifs module parms. Remove old readdir routine.
312 Fix capabilities flags for large readx so as to allow reads larger than 64K.
316 Add module init parm for large SMB buffer size (to allow it to be changed
317 from its default of 16K) which is especially useful for large file copy
318 when mounting with the directio mount option. Fix oops after
319 returning from mount when experimental ExtendedSecurity enabled and
320 SpnegoNegotiated returning invalid error. Fix case to retry better when
321 peek returns from 1 to 3 bytes on socket which should have more data.
322 Fixed path based calls (such as cifs lookup) to handle path names
323 longer than 530 (now can handle PATH_MAX). Fix pass through authentication
324 from Samba server to DC (Samba required dummy LM password).
328 Turn off DNOTIFY (directory change notification support) by default
329 (unless built with the experimental flag) to fix hang with KDE
330 file browser. Fix DNOTIFY flag mappings. Fix hang (in wait_event
331 waiting on an SMB response) in SendReceive when session dies but
332 reconnects quickly from another task. Add module init parms for
333 minimum number of large and small network buffers in the buffer pools,
334 and for the maximum number of simultaneous requests.
338 Add setfacl support to allow setting of ACLs remotely to Samba 3.10 and later
339 and other POSIX CIFS compliant servers. Fix error mapping for getfacl
340 to EOPNOTSUPP when server does not support posix acls on the wire. Fix
341 improperly zeroed buffer in CIFS Unix extensions set times call.
345 Fix internationalization problem in cifs readdir with filenames that map to
346 longer UTF-8 strings than the string on the wire was in Unicode. Add workaround
347 for readdir to netapp servers. Fix search rewind (seek into readdir to return
348 non-consecutive entries). Do not do readdir when server negotiates
349 buffer size to small to fit filename. Add support for reading POSIX ACLs from
350 the server (add also acl and noacl mount options).
354 Optionally allow using server side inode numbers, rather than client generated
355 ones by specifying mount option "serverino" - this is required for some apps
356 to work which double check hardlinked files and have persistent inode numbers.
360 Multiple bigendian fixes. On little endian systems (for reconnect after
361 network failure) fix tcp session reconnect code so we do not try first
362 to reconnect on reverse of port 445. Treat reparse points (NTFS junctions)
363 as directories rather than symlinks because we can do follow link on them.
367 Add config option to enable XATTR (extended attribute) support, mapping
368 xattr names in the "user." namespace space to SMB/CIFS EAs. Lots of
369 minor fixes pointed out by the Stanford SWAT checker (mostly missing
370 or out of order NULL pointer checks in little used error paths).
374 Add new mount parm to control whether mode check (generic_permission) is done
375 on the client. If Unix extensions are enabled and the uids on the client
376 and server do not match, client permission checks are meaningless on
377 server uids that do not exist on the client (this does not affect the
378 normal ACL check which occurs on the server). Fix default uid
379 on mknod to match create and mkdir. Add optional mount parm to allow
380 override of the default uid behavior (in which the server sets the uid
381 and gid of newly created files). Normally for network filesystem mounts
382 user want the server to set the uid/gid on newly created files (rather than
383 using uid of the client processes you would in a local filesystem).
387 Make transaction counts more consistent. Merge /proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps
388 info into /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData. Fix oops in rare oops in readdir
389 (in build_wildcard_path_from_dentry). Fix mknod to pass type field
390 (block/char/fifo) properly. Remove spurious mount warning log entry when
391 credentials passed as mount argument. Set major/minor device number in
392 inode for block and char devices when unix extensions enabled.
396 Fix /proc/fs/cifs/Stats and DebugData display to handle larger
397 amounts of return data. Properly limit requests to MAX_REQ (50
398 is the usual maximum active multiplex SMB/CIFS requests per server).
399 Do not kill cifsd (and thus hurt the other SMB session) when more than one
400 session to the same server (but with different userids) exists and one
401 of the two user's smb sessions is being removed while leaving the other.
402 Do not loop reconnecting in cifsd demultiplex thread when admin
403 kills the thread without going through unmount.
407 Do not rename hardlinked files (since that should be a noop). Flush
408 cached write behind data when reopening a file after session abend,
409 except when already in write. Grab per socket sem during reconnect
410 to avoid oops in sendmsg if overlapping with reconnect. Do not
411 reset cached inode file size on readdir for files open for write on
417 Update number of blocks in file so du command is happier (in Linux a fake
418 blocksize of 512 is required for calculating number of blocks in inode).
419 Fix prepare write of partial pages to read in data from server if possible.
420 Fix race on tcpStatus field between unmount and reconnection code, causing
421 cifsd process sometimes to hang around forever. Improve out of memory
422 checks in cifs_filldir
426 Fix incorrect file size in file handle based setattr on big endian hardware.
427 Fix oops in build_path_from_dentry when out of memory. Add checks for invalid
428 and closing file structs in writepage/partialpagewrite. Add statistics
429 for each mounted share (new menuconfig option). Fix endianness problem in
430 volume information displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData (only affects
431 affects big endian architectures). Prevent renames while constructing
432 path names for open, mkdir and rmdir.
436 Change to mempools for alloc smb request buffers and multiplex structs
437 to better handle low memory problems (and potential deadlocks).
441 Fix incomplete listings of large directories on Samba servers when Unix
442 extensions enabled. Fix oops when smb_buffer can not be allocated. Fix
443 rename deadlock when writing out dirty pages at same time.
447 Fix open of files in which O_CREATE can cause the mode to change in
448 some cases. Fix case in which retry of write overlaps file close.
449 Fix PPC64 build error. Reduce excessive stack usage in smb password
450 hashing. Fix overwrite of Linux user's view of file mode to Windows servers.
454 Fixes for large file copy, signal handling, socket retry, buffer
455 allocation and low memory situations.
459 Better port 139 support to Windows servers (RFC1001/RFC1002 Session_Initialize)
460 also now allowing support for specifying client netbiosname. NT4 support added.
464 Fix reconnection (and certain failed mounts) to properly wake up the
465 blocked users thread so it does not seem hung (in some cases was blocked
466 until the cifs receive timeout expired). Fix spurious error logging
467 to kernel log when application with open network files killed.
471 Fix /proc/fs module unload warning message (that could be logged
472 to the kernel log). Fix intermittent failure in connectathon
473 test7 (hardlink count not immediately refreshed in case in which
474 inode metadata can be incorrectly kept cached when time near zero)
478 Allow file_mode and dir_mode (specified at mount time) to be enforced
479 locally (the server already enforced its own ACLs too) for servers
480 that do not report the correct mode (do not support the
481 CIFS Unix Extensions).
485 Fix some small memory leaks in some unmount error paths. Fix major leak
486 of cache pages in readpages causing multiple read oriented stress
487 testcases (including fsx, and even large file copy) to fail over time.
491 Send NTCreateX with ATTR_POSIX if Linux/Unix extensions negotiated with server.
492 This allows files that differ only in case and improves performance of file
493 creation and file open to such servers. Fix semaphore conflict which causes
494 slow delete of open file to Samba (which unfortunately can cause an oplock
495 break to self while vfs_unlink held i_sem) which can hang for 20 seconds.
499 fixes to cifs_readpages for fsx test case
503 Fix caching data integrity bug when extending file size especially when no
504 oplock on file. Fix spurious logging of valid already parsed mount options
505 that are parsed outside of the cifs vfs such as nosuid.
510 Connect to server when port number override not specified, and tcp port
511 unitialized. Reset search to restart at correct file when kernel routine
512 filldir returns error during large directory searches (readdir).
516 Fix caching problem when files opened by multiple clients in which
517 page cache could contain stale data, and write through did
518 not occur often enough while file was still open when read ahead
519 (read oplock) not allowed. Treat "sep=" when first mount option
520 as an override of comma as the default separator between mount
525 Allow passwords longer than 16 bytes. Allow null password string.
529 Gracefully clean up failed mounts when attempting to mount to servers such as
530 Windows 98 that terminate tcp sessions during protocol negotiation. Handle
531 embedded commas in mount parsing of passwords.
535 Invalidate local inode cached pages on oplock break and when last file
536 instance is closed so that the client does not continue using stale local
537 copy rather than later modified server copy of file. Do not reconnect
538 when server drops the tcp session prematurely before negotiate
539 protocol response. Fix oops in reopen_file when dentry freed. Allow
540 the support for CIFS Unix Extensions to be disabled via proc interface.
544 Fix hang in commit_write during reconnection of open files under heavy load.
545 Fix unload_nls oops in a mount failure path. Serialize writes to same socket
546 which also fixes any possible races when cifs signatures are enabled in SMBs
547 being sent out of signature sequence number order.
551 Fix byte range locking bug (endian problem) causing bad offset and
556 Fix oops (in send_sig) caused by CIFS unmount code trying to
557 wake up the demultiplex thread after it had exited. Do not log
558 error on harmless oplock release of closed handle.
562 Fix unsafe global variable usage and password hash failure on gcc 3.3.1
563 Fix problem reconnecting secondary mounts to same server after session
564 failure. Fix invalid dentry - race in mkdir when directory gets created
565 by another client between the lookup and mkdir.
569 Fix to list processing in reopen_files. Fix reconnection when server hung
570 but tcpip session still alive. Set proper timeout on socket read.
574 Add missing mount options including iocharset. SMP fixes in write and open.
575 Fix errors in reconnecting after TCP session failure. Fix module unloading
576 of default nls codepage
580 Active smb transactions should never go negative (fix double FreeXid). Fix
581 list processing in file routines. Check return code on kmalloc in open.
582 Fix spinlock usage for SMP.
586 Fix oops in reopen_files when invalid dentry. drop dentry on server rename
587 and on revalidate errors. Fix cases where pid is now tgid. Fix return code
588 on create hard link when server does not support them.
592 Fix scheduling while atomic error in getting inode info on newly created file.
593 Fix truncate of existing files opened with O_CREAT but not O_TRUNC set.
597 Fix oops on write to dead tcp session. Remove error log write for case when file open
598 O_CREAT but not O_EXCL
602 Fix non-POSIX behavior on rename of open file and delete of open file by taking
603 advantage of trans2 SetFileInfo rename facility if available on target server.
604 Retry on ENOSPC and EAGAIN socket errors.
608 Fix oops on big endian readdir. Set blksize to be even power of two (2**blkbits) to fix
609 allocation size miscalculation. After oplock token lost do not read through
614 Fix oops on empty file readahead. Fix for file size handling for locally cached files.
618 Fix oops in mkdir when server fails to return inode info. Fix oops in reopen_files
619 during auto reconnection to server after server recovered from failure.
623 Finish support for Linux 2.5 open/create changes, which removes the
624 redundant NTCreate/QPathInfo/close that was sent during file create.
625 Enable oplock by default. Enable packet signing by default (needed to
626 access many recent Windows servers)
630 Fix oops when mounting to long server names caused by inverted parms to kmalloc.
631 Fix MultiuserMount (/proc/fs/cifs configuration setting) so that when enabled
632 we will choose a cifs user session (smb uid) that better matches the local
633 uid if a) the mount uid does not match the current uid and b) we have another
634 session to the same server (ip address) for a different mount which
635 matches the current local uid.
639 Add support for mknod of block or character devices. Fix oplock
640 code (distributed caching) to properly send response to oplock
645 Finish up CIFS packet digital signing for the default
646 NTLM security case. This should help Windows 2003
647 network interoperability since it is common for
648 packet signing to be required now. Fix statfs (stat -f)
649 which recently started returning errors due to
650 invalid value (-1 instead of 0) being set in the
651 struct kstatfs f_ffiles field.
655 Fix oops on stopping oplock thread when removing cifs when
660 Fix mount options for ro (readonly), uid, gid and file and directory mode.
664 Fix errors displayed on failed mounts to be more understandable.
665 Fixed various incorrect or misleading smb to posix error code mappings.
669 Fix display of NTFS DFS junctions to display as symlinks.
670 They are the network equivalent. Fix oops in
671 cifs_partialpagewrite caused by missing spinlock protection
672 of openfile linked list. Allow writebehind caching errors to
673 be returned to the application at file close.
677 Clean up options displayed in /proc/mounts by show_options to
678 be more consistent with other filesystems.
682 Fix delete of readonly file to Windows servers. Reflect
683 presence or absence of read only dos attribute in mode
684 bits for servers that do not support CIFS Unix extensions.
685 Fix shortened results on readdir of large directories to
686 servers supporting CIFS Unix extensions (caused by
687 incorrect resume key).
691 Fix truncate bug (set file size) that could cause hangs e.g. running fsx
695 unload nls if mount fails.
699 Add resume key support to search (readdir) code to workaround
700 Windows bug. Add /proc/fs/cifs/LookupCacheEnable which
701 allows disabling caching of attribute information for
706 Add more oplock handling (distributed caching code). Remove
707 dead code. Remove excessive stack space utilization from
712 Fix oops in get dfs referral (triggered when null path sent in to
713 mount). Add support for overriding rsize at mount time.
717 Fix buffer overrun in readdir which caused intermittent kernel oopses.
718 Fix writepage code to release kmap on write data. Allow "-ip=" new
719 mount option to be passed in on parameter distinct from the first part
720 (server name portion of) the UNC name. Allow override of the
721 tcp port of the target server via new mount option "-port="
725 Fix search handle leak on rewind. Fix setuid and gid so that they are
726 reflected in the local inode immediately. Cleanup of whitespace
727 to make 2.4 and 2.5 versions more consistent.
732 Fix signal sending so that captive thread (cifsd) exits on umount
733 (which was causing the warning in kmem_cache_free of the request buffers
734 at rmmod time). This had broken as a sideeffect of the recent global
735 kernel change to daemonize. Fix memory leak in readdir code which
736 showed up in "ls -R" (and applications that did search rewinding).
740 Reconnect tids and fids after session reconnection (still do not
741 reconnect byte range locks though). Fix problem caching
742 lookup information for directory inodes, improving performance,
743 especially in deep directory trees. Fix various build warnings.
747 Finish fixes to commit write for caching/readahead consistency. fsx
748 now works to Samba servers. Fix oops caused when readahead
749 was interrupted by a signal.
753 Fix data corruption (in partial page after truncate) that caused fsx to
754 fail to Windows servers. Cleaned up some extraneous error logging in
755 common error paths. Add generic sendfile support.
759 Fix memory leak in AllocMidQEntry.
760 Finish reconnection logic, so connection with server can be dropped
761 (or server rebooted) and the cifs client will reconnect.
765 Fix temporary socket leak when bad userid or password specified
766 (or other SMBSessSetup failure). Increase maximum buffer size to slightly
767 over 16K to allow negotiation of up to Samba and Windows server default read
768 sizes. Add support for readpages
772 Fix oops when username not passed in on mount. Extensive fixes and improvements
773 to error logging (strip redundant newlines, change debug macros to ensure newline
774 passed in and to be more consistent). Fix writepage wrong file handle problem,
775 a readonly file handle could be incorrectly used to attempt to write out
776 file updates through the page cache to multiply open files. This could cause
777 the iozone benchmark to fail on the fwrite test. Fix bug mounting two different
778 shares to the same Windows server when using different usernames
779 (doing this to Samba servers worked but Windows was rejecting it) - now it is
780 possible to use different userids when connecting to the same server from a
781 Linux client. Fix oops when treeDisconnect called during unmount on
782 previously freed socket.
786 Fix oops in readpages caused by not setting address space operations in inode in
791 Includes support for deleting of open files and renaming over existing files (per POSIX
792 requirement). Add readlink support for Windows junction points (directory symlinks).
796 Changed read and write to go through pagecache. Added additional address space operations.
797 Memory mapped operations now working.
801 Added writepage code for additional memory mapping support. Fixed leak in xids causing
802 the simultaneous operations counter (/proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps) to increase on
803 every stat call. Additional formatting cleanup.
807 Fix bigendian bug in order of time conversion. Merge 2.5 to 2.4 version. Formatting cleanup.
811 Fixes from Zwane Mwaikambo for adding missing return code checking in a few places.
812 Also included a modified version of his fix to protect global list manipulation of
813 the smb session and tree connection and mid related global variables.
817 Fix problem with captive thread hanging around at unmount time. Adjust to 2.5.42-pre
818 changes to superblock layout. Remove wasteful allocation of smb buffers (now the send
819 buffer is reused for responses). Add more oplock handling. Additional minor cleanup.
823 More stylistic updates to better match kernel style. Add additional statistics
824 for filesystem which can be viewed via /proc/fs/cifs. Add more pieces of NTLMv2
825 and CIFS Packet Signing enablement.
829 Replace call to sleep_on with safer wait_on_event.
830 Make stylistic changes to better match kernel style recommendations.
831 Remove most typedef usage (except for the PDUs themselves).
835 Update mount so the -unc mount option is no longer required (the ip address can be specified
836 in a UNC style device name. Implementation of readpage/writepage started.
840 Fix intermittent problem with incorrect smb header checking on badly
841 fragmented tcp responses
845 Fixes to setting of allocation size and file size.
849 Various 2.5.38 fixes. Now works on 2.5.38
853 Prepare for 2.5 kernel merge. Remove ifdefs.
857 Socket buffer management fixes. Fix dual free.
861 Various big endian fixes for hardlinks and symlinks and also for dfs.
865 Various big endian fixes for servers with Unix extensions such as Samba
869 Various FindNext fixes for incorrect filenames on large directory searches on big endian
870 clients. basic posix file i/o tests now work on big endian machines, not just le
874 SessionSetup and NegotiateProtocol now work from Big Endian machines.
875 Various Big Endian fixes found during testing on the Linux on 390. Various fixes for compatibility with older
876 versions of 2.4 kernel (now builds and works again on kernels at least as early as 2.4.7).
880 Various minor fixes for Connectathon Posix "basic" file i/o test suite. Directory caching fixed so hardlinked
881 files now return the correct number of links on fstat as they are repeatedly linked and unlinked.
885 Implemented "Raw" (i.e. not encapsulated in SPNEGO) NTLMSSP (i.e. the Security Provider Interface used to negotiate
886 session advanced session authentication). Raw NTLMSSP is preferred by Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP.
887 Began implementing support for SPNEGO encapsulation of NTLMSSP based session authentication blobs
888 (which is the mechanism preferred by Windows 2000 server in the absence of Kerberos).
892 Introduced optional mount helper utility mount.cifs and made coreq changes to cifs vfs to enable
893 it. Fixed a few bugs in the DFS code (e.g. bcc two bytes too short and incorrect uid in PDU).
897 Rewrote much of connection and mount/unmount logic to handle bugs with
898 multiple uses to same share, multiple users to same server etc.
902 Fixed major problem with dentry corruption (missing call to dput)
906 Rewrite of readdir code to fix bug. Various fixes for bigendian machines.
907 Begin adding oplock support. Multiusermount and oplockEnabled flags added to /proc/fs/cifs
908 although corresponding function not fully implemented in the vfs yet
912 Fixed dentry caching bug, misc. cleanup
916 Fixed 2.5 support to handle build and configure changes as well as misc. 2.5 changes. Now can build
917 on current 2.5 beta version (2.5.24) of the Linux kernel as well as on 2.4 Linux kernels.
918 Support for STATUS codes (newer 32 bit NT error codes) added. DFS support begun to be added.
922 Unix extensions (symlink, readlink, hardlink, chmod and some chgrp and chown) implemented
923 and tested against Samba 2.2.5
928 1) Fixed lockrange to be correct (it was one byte too short)
930 2) Fixed GETLK (i.e. the fcntl call to test a range of bytes in a file to see if locked) to correctly
931 show range as locked when there is a conflict with an existing lock.
933 3) default file perms are now 2767 (indicating support for mandatory locks) instead of 777 for directories
934 in most cases. Eventually will offer optional ability to query server for the correct perms.
936 3) Fixed eventual trap when mounting twice to different shares on the same server when the first succeeded
937 but the second one was invalid and failed (the second one was incorrectly disconnecting the tcp and smb
940 4) Fixed error logging of valid mount options
942 5) Removed logging of password field.
944 6) Moved negotiate, treeDisconnect and uloggoffX (only tConx and SessSetup remain in connect.c) to cifssmb.c
945 and cleaned them up and made them more consistent with other cifs functions.
947 7) Server support for Unix extensions is now fully detected and FindFirst is implemented both ways
948 (with or without Unix extensions) but FindNext and QueryPathInfo with the Unix extensions are not completed,
949 nor is the symlink support using the Unix extensions
951 8) Started adding the readlink and follow_link code
