3 Improve support for multiple security contexts to the same server. We
4 used to use the same "vcnumber" for all connections which could cause
5 the server to treat subsequent connections, especially those that
6 are authenticated as guest, as reconnections, invalidating the earlier
7 user's smb session. This fix allows cifs to mount multiple times to the
8 same server with different userids without risking invalidating earlier
9 established security contexts. fsync now sends SMB Flush operation
10 to better ensure that we wait for server to write all of the data to
11 server disk (not just write it over the network). Add new mount
12 parameter to allow user to disable sending the (slow) SMB flush on
13 fsync if desired (fsync still flushes all cached write data to the server).
17 Add "forcemandatorylock" mount option to allow user to use mandatory
18 rather than posix (advisory) byte range locks, even though server would
19 support posix byte range locks. Fix query of root inode when prefixpath
20 specified and user does not have access to query information about the
21 top of the share. Fix problem in 2.6.28 resolving DFS paths to
22 Samba servers (worked to Windows). Fix rmdir so that pending search
23 (readdir) requests do not get invalid results which include the now
24 removed directory. Fix oops in cifs_dfs_ref.c when prefixpath is not reachable
25 when using DFS. Add better file create support to servers which support
26 the CIFS POSIX protocol extensions (this adds support for new flags
27 on create, and improves semantics for write of locked ranges).
31 Various fixes to make delete of open files behavior more predictable
32 (when delete of an open file fails we mark the file as "delete-on-close"
33 in a way that more servers accept, but only if we can first rename the
34 file to a temporary name). Add experimental support for more safely
35 handling fcntl(F_SETLEASE). Convert cifs to using blocking tcp
36 sends, and also let tcp autotune the socket send and receive buffers.
37 This reduces the number of EAGAIN errors returned by TCP/IP in
38 high stress workloads (and the number of retries on socket writes
39 when sending large SMBWriteX requests). Fix case in which a portion of
40 data can in some cases not get written to the file on the server before the
41 file is closed. Fix DFS parsing to properly handle path consumed field,
42 and to handle certain codepage conversions better. Fix mount and
43 umount race that can cause oops in mount or umount or reconnect.
47 Fix premature write failure on congested networks (we would give up
48 on EAGAIN from the socket too quickly on large writes).
49 Cifs_mkdir and cifs_create now respect the setgid bit on parent dir.
50 Fix endian problems in acl (mode from/to cifs acl) on bigendian
51 architectures. Fix problems with preserving timestamps on copying open
52 files (e.g. "cp -a") to Windows servers. For mkdir and create honor setgid bit
53 on parent directory when server supports Unix Extensions but not POSIX
54 create. Update cifs.upcall version to handle new Kerberos sec flags
55 (this requires update of cifs.upcall program from Samba). Fix memory leak
56 on dns_upcall (resolving DFS referralls). Fix plain text password
57 authentication (requires setting SecurityFlags to 0x30030 to enable
58 lanman and plain text though). Fix writes to be at correct offset when
59 file is open with O_APPEND and file is on a directio (forcediretio) mount.
60 Fix bug in rewinding readdir directory searches. Add nodfs mount option.
64 DFS support added (Microsoft Distributed File System client support needed
65 for referrals which enable a hierarchical name space among servers).
66 Disable temporary caching of mode bits to servers which do not support
67 storing of mode (e.g. Windows servers, when client mounts without cifsacl
68 mount option) and add new "dynperm" mount option to enable temporary caching
69 of mode (enable old behavior). Fix hang on mount caused when server crashes
70 tcp session during negotiate protocol.
74 Fix oops on second mount to server when null auth is used.
75 Enable experimental Kerberos support. Return writebehind errors on flush
76 and sync so that events like out of disk space get reported properly on
77 cached files. Fix setxattr failure to certain Samba versions. Fix mount
78 of second share to disconnected server session (autoreconnect on this).
79 Add ability to modify cifs acls for handling chmod (when mounted with
80 cifsacl flag). Fix prefixpath path separator so we can handle mounts
81 with prefixpaths longer than one directory (one path component) when
82 mounted to Windows servers. Fix slow file open when cifsacl
83 enabled. Fix memory leak in FindNext when the SMB call returns -EBADF.
88 Fix memory leak in statfs when mounted to very old servers (e.g.
89 Windows 9x). Add new feature "POSIX open" which allows servers
90 which support the current POSIX Extensions to provide better semantics
91 (e.g. delete for open files opened with posix open). Take into
92 account umask on posix mkdir not just older style mkdir. Add
93 ability to mount to IPC$ share (which allows CIFS named pipes to be
94 opened, read and written as if they were files). When 1st tree
95 connect fails (e.g. due to signing negotiation failure) fix
96 leak that causes cifsd not to stop and rmmod to fail to cleanup
97 cifs_request_buffers pool. Fix problem with POSIX Open/Mkdir on
98 bigendian architectures. Fix possible memory corruption when
99 EAGAIN returned on kern_recvmsg. Return better error if server
100 requires packet signing but client has disabled it. When mounted
101 with cifsacl mount option - mode bits are approximated based
102 on the contents of the ACL of the file or directory. When cifs
103 mount helper is missing convert make sure that UNC name
104 has backslash (not forward slash) between ip address of server
109 Fix NTLMv2 signing. NFS server mounted over cifs works (if cifs mount is
110 done with "serverino" mount option). Add support for POSIX Unlink
111 (helps with certain sharing violation cases when server such as
112 Samba supports newer POSIX CIFS Protocol Extensions). Add "nounix"
113 mount option to allow disabling the CIFS Unix Extensions for just
114 that mount. Fix hang on spinlock in find_writable_file (race when
115 reopening file after session crash). Byte range unlock request to
116 windows server could unlock more bytes (on server copy of file)
117 than intended if start of unlock request is well before start of
118 a previous byte range lock that we issued.
122 IPv6 support. Enable ipv6 addresses to be passed on mount (put the ipv6
123 address after the "ip=" mount option, at least until mount.cifs is fixed to
124 handle DNS host to ipv6 name translation). Accept override of uid or gid
125 on mount even when Unix Extensions are negotiated (it used to be ignored
126 when Unix Extensions were ignored). This allows users to override the
127 default uid and gid for files when they are certain that the uids or
128 gids on the server do not match those of the client. Make "sec=none"
129 mount override username (so that null user connection is attempted)
130 to match what documentation said. Support for very large reads, over 127K,
131 available to some newer servers (such as Samba 3.0.26 and later but
132 note that it also requires setting CIFSMaxBufSize at module install
133 time to a larger value which may hurt performance in some cases).
134 Make sign option force signing (or fail if server does not support it).
138 Fix mtime bouncing around from local idea of last write times to remote time.
139 Fix hang (in i_size_read) when simultaneous size update of same remote file
140 on smp system corrupts sequence number. Do not reread unnecessarily partial page
141 (which we are about to overwrite anyway) when writing out file opened rw.
142 When DOS attribute of file on non-Unix server's file changes on the server side
143 from read-only back to read-write, reflect this change in default file mode
144 (we had been leaving a file's mode read-only until the inode were reloaded).
145 Allow setting of attribute back to ATTR_NORMAL (removing readonly dos attribute
146 when archive dos attribute not set and we are changing mode back to writeable
147 on server which does not support the Unix Extensions). Remove read only dos
148 attribute on chmod when adding any write permission (ie on any of
149 user/group/other (not all of user/group/other ie 0222) when
150 mounted to windows. Add support for POSIX MkDir (slight performance
151 enhancement and eliminates the network race between the mkdir and set
152 path info of the mode).
157 Fix oops in list_del during mount caused by unaligned string.
158 Fix file corruption which could occur on some large file
159 copies caused by writepages page i/o completion bug.
160 Seek to SEEK_END forces check for update of file size for non-cached
161 files. Allow file size to be updated on remote extend of locally open,
162 non-cached file. Fix reconnect to newer Samba servers (or other servers
163 which support the CIFS Unix/POSIX extensions) so that we again tell the
164 server the Unix/POSIX cifs capabilities which we support (SetFSInfo).
165 Add experimental support for new POSIX Open/Mkdir (which returns
166 stat information on the open, and allows setting the mode).
170 Support deep tree mounts. Better support OS/2, Win9x (DOS) time stamps.
171 Allow null user to be specified on mount ("username="). Do not return
172 EINVAL on readdir when filldir fails due to overwritten blocksize
173 (fixes FC problem). Return error in rename 2nd attempt retry (ie report
174 if rename by handle also fails, after rename by path fails, we were
175 not reporting whether the retry worked or not). Fix NTLMv2 to
176 work to Windows servers (mount with option "sec=ntlmv2").
180 Do not time out lockw calls when using posix extensions. Do not
181 time out requests if server still responding reasonably fast
182 on requests on other threads. Improve POSIX locking emulation,
183 (lock cancel now works, and unlock of merged range works even
184 to Windows servers now). Fix oops on mount to lanman servers
185 (win9x, os/2 etc.) when null password. Do not send listxattr
186 (SMB to query all EAs) if nouser_xattr specified. Fix SE Linux
187 problem (instantiate inodes/dentries in right order for readdir).
191 Rewritten sessionsetup support, including support for legacy SMB
192 session setup needed for OS/2 and older servers such as Windows 95 and 98.
193 Fix oops on ls to OS/2 servers. Add support for level 1 FindFirst
194 so we can do search (ls etc.) to OS/2. Do not send NTCreateX
195 or recent levels of FindFirst unless server says it supports NT SMBs
196 (instead use legacy equivalents from LANMAN dialect). Fix to allow
197 NTLMv2 authentication support (now can use stronger password hashing
198 on mount if corresponding /proc/fs/cifs/SecurityFlags is set (0x4004).
199 Allow override of global cifs security flags on mount via "sec=" option(s).
203 POSIX locking to servers which support CIFS POSIX Extensions
204 (disabled by default controlled by proc/fs/cifs/Experimental).
205 Handle conversion of long share names (especially Asian languages)
206 to Unicode during mount. Fix memory leak in sess struct on reconnect.
207 Fix rare oops after acpi suspend. Fix O_TRUNC opens to overwrite on
208 cifs open which helps rare case when setpathinfo fails or server does
213 Fix slow oplock break when mounted to different servers at the same time and
214 the tids match and we try to find matching fid on wrong server. Fix read
215 looping when signing required by server (2.6.16 kernel only). Fix readdir
216 vs. rename race which could cause each to hang. Return . and .. even
217 if server does not. Allow searches to skip first three entries and
218 begin at any location. Fix oops in find_writeable_file.
222 Fix NTLMv2 security (can be enabled in /proc/fs/cifs) so customers can
223 configure stronger authentication. Fix sfu symlinks so they can
224 be followed (not just recognized). Fix wraparound of bcc on
225 read responses when buffer size over 64K and also fix wrap of
226 max smb buffer size when CIFSMaxBufSize over 64K. Fix oops in
227 cifs_user_read and cifs_readpages (when EAGAIN on send of smb
228 on socket is returned over and over). Add POSIX (advisory) byte range
229 locking support (requires server with newest CIFS UNIX Extensions
230 to the protocol implemented). Slow down negprot slightly in port 139
231 RFC1001 case to give session_init time on buggy servers.
235 Use fsuid (fsgid) more consistently instead of uid (gid). Improve performance
236 of readpages by eliminating one extra memcpy. Allow update of file size
237 from remote server even if file is open for write as long as mount is
238 directio. Recognize share mode security and send NTLM encrypted password
239 on tree connect if share mode negotiated.
243 Defer close of a file handle slightly if pending writes depend on that handle
244 (this reduces the EBADF bad file handle errors that can be logged under heavy
245 stress on writes). Modify cifs Kconfig options to expose CONFIG_CIFS_STATS2
246 Fix SFU style symlinks and mknod needed for servers which do not support the
247 CIFS Unix Extensions. Fix setfacl/getfacl on bigendian. Timeout negative
248 dentries so files that the client sees as deleted but that later get created
249 on the server will be recognized. Add client side permission check on setattr.
250 Timeout stuck requests better (where server has never responded or sent corrupt
255 Fix tcp socket retransmission timeouts (e.g. on ENOSPACE from the socket)
256 to be smaller at first (but increasing) so large write performance performance
257 over GigE is better. Do not hang thread on illegal byte range lock response
258 from Windows (Windows can send an RFC1001 size which does not match smb size) by
259 allowing an SMBs TCP length to be up to a few bytes longer than it should be.
260 wsize and rsize can now be larger than negotiated buffer size if server
261 supports large readx/writex, even when directio mount flag not specified.
262 Write size will in many cases now be 16K instead of 4K which greatly helps
263 file copy performance on lightly loaded networks. Fix oops in dnotify
264 when experimental config flag enabled. Make cifsFYI more granular.
268 Fix readdir caching when unlink removes file in current search buffer,
269 and this is followed by a rewind search to just before the deleted entry.
270 Do not attempt to set ctime unless atime and/or mtime change requested
271 (most servers throw it away anyway). Fix length check of received smbs
272 to be more accurate. Fix big endian problem with mapchars mount option,
273 and with a field returned by statfs.
277 Add support for mounting to older pre-CIFS servers such as Windows9x and ME.
278 For these older servers, add option for passing netbios name of server in
279 on mount (servernetbiosname). Add suspend support for power management, to
280 avoid cifsd thread preventing software suspend from working.
281 Add mount option for disabling the default behavior of sending byte range lock
282 requests to the server (necessary for certain applications which break with
283 mandatory lock behavior such as Evolution), and also mount option for
284 requesting case insensitive matching for path based requests (requesting
285 case sensitive is the default).
289 Add writepage performance improvements. Fix path name conversions
290 for long filenames on mounts which were done with "mapchars" mount option
291 specified. Ensure multiplex ids do not collide. Fix case in which
292 rmmod can oops if done soon after last unmount. Fix truncated
293 search (readdir) output when resume filename was a long filename.
294 Fix filename conversion when mapchars mount option was specified and
295 filename was a long filename.
299 Fix error mapping of the TOO_MANY_LINKS (hardlinks) case.
300 Do not oops if root user kills cifs oplock kernel thread or
301 kills the cifsd thread (NB: killing the cifs kernel threads is not
302 recommended, unmount and rmmod cifs will kill them when they are
303 no longer needed). Fix readdir to ASCII servers (ie older servers
304 which do not support Unicode) and also require asterisk.
305 Fix out of memory case in which data could be written one page
306 off in the page cache.
310 Fix caching problem, in which readdir of directory containing a file
311 which was cached could cause the file's time stamp to be updated
312 without invalidating the readahead data (so we could get stale
313 file data on the client for that file even as the server copy changed).
314 Cleanup response processing so cifsd can not loop when abnormally
320 Fix oops in ls when Transact2 FindFirst (or FindNext) returns more than one
321 transact response for an SMB request and search entry split across two frames.
322 Add support for lsattr (getting ext2/ext3/reiserfs attr flags from the server)
323 as new protocol extensions. Do not send Get/Set calls for POSIX ACLs
324 unless server explicitly claims to support them in CIFS Unix extensions
325 POSIX ACL capability bit. Fix packet signing when multiuser mounting with
326 different users from the same client to the same server. Fix oops in
327 cifs_close. Add mount option for remapping reserved characters in
328 filenames (also allow recognizing files with created by SFU which have any
329 of these seven reserved characters, except backslash, to be recognized).
330 Fix invalid transact2 message (we were sometimes trying to interpret
331 oplock breaks as SMB responses). Add ioctl for checking that the
332 current uid matches the uid of the mounter (needed by umount.cifs).
333 Reduce the number of large buffer allocations in cifs response processing
334 (significantly reduces memory pressure under heavy stress with multiple
335 processes accessing the same server at the same time).
339 Fix updates of DOS attributes and time fields so that files on NT4 servers
340 do not get marked delete on close. Display sizes of cifs buffer pools in
341 cifs stats. Fix oops in unmount when cifsd thread being killed by
342 shutdown. Add generic readv/writev and aio support. Report inode numbers
343 consistently in readdir and lookup (when serverino mount option is
344 specified use the inode number that the server reports - for both lookup
345 and readdir, otherwise by default the locally generated inode number is used
346 for inodes created in either path since servers are not always able to
347 provide unique inode numbers when exporting multiple volumes from under one
352 Allow new nouser_xattr mount parm to disable xattr support for user namespace.
353 Do not flag user_xattr mount parm in dmesg. Retry failures setting file time
354 (mostly affects NT4 servers) by retry with handle based network operation.
355 Add new POSIX Query FS Info for returning statfs info more accurately.
356 Handle passwords with multiple commas in them.
360 Fix default mode in sysfs of cifs module parms. Remove old readdir routine.
361 Fix capabilities flags for large readx so as to allow reads larger than 64K.
365 Add module init parm for large SMB buffer size (to allow it to be changed
366 from its default of 16K) which is especially useful for large file copy
367 when mounting with the directio mount option. Fix oops after
368 returning from mount when experimental ExtendedSecurity enabled and
369 SpnegoNegotiated returning invalid error. Fix case to retry better when
370 peek returns from 1 to 3 bytes on socket which should have more data.
371 Fixed path based calls (such as cifs lookup) to handle path names
372 longer than 530 (now can handle PATH_MAX). Fix pass through authentication
373 from Samba server to DC (Samba required dummy LM password).
377 Turn off DNOTIFY (directory change notification support) by default
378 (unless built with the experimental flag) to fix hang with KDE
379 file browser. Fix DNOTIFY flag mappings. Fix hang (in wait_event
380 waiting on an SMB response) in SendReceive when session dies but
381 reconnects quickly from another task. Add module init parms for
382 minimum number of large and small network buffers in the buffer pools,
383 and for the maximum number of simultaneous requests.
387 Add setfacl support to allow setting of ACLs remotely to Samba 3.10 and later
388 and other POSIX CIFS compliant servers. Fix error mapping for getfacl
389 to EOPNOTSUPP when server does not support posix acls on the wire. Fix
390 improperly zeroed buffer in CIFS Unix extensions set times call.
394 Fix internationalization problem in cifs readdir with filenames that map to
395 longer UTF-8 strings than the string on the wire was in Unicode. Add workaround
396 for readdir to netapp servers. Fix search rewind (seek into readdir to return
397 non-consecutive entries). Do not do readdir when server negotiates
398 buffer size to small to fit filename. Add support for reading POSIX ACLs from
399 the server (add also acl and noacl mount options).
403 Optionally allow using server side inode numbers, rather than client generated
404 ones by specifying mount option "serverino" - this is required for some apps
405 to work which double check hardlinked files and have persistent inode numbers.
409 Multiple bigendian fixes. On little endian systems (for reconnect after
410 network failure) fix tcp session reconnect code so we do not try first
411 to reconnect on reverse of port 445. Treat reparse points (NTFS junctions)
412 as directories rather than symlinks because we can do follow link on them.
416 Add config option to enable XATTR (extended attribute) support, mapping
417 xattr names in the "user." namespace space to SMB/CIFS EAs. Lots of
418 minor fixes pointed out by the Stanford SWAT checker (mostly missing
419 or out of order NULL pointer checks in little used error paths).
423 Add new mount parm to control whether mode check (generic_permission) is done
424 on the client. If Unix extensions are enabled and the uids on the client
425 and server do not match, client permission checks are meaningless on
426 server uids that do not exist on the client (this does not affect the
427 normal ACL check which occurs on the server). Fix default uid
428 on mknod to match create and mkdir. Add optional mount parm to allow
429 override of the default uid behavior (in which the server sets the uid
430 and gid of newly created files). Normally for network filesystem mounts
431 user want the server to set the uid/gid on newly created files (rather than
432 using uid of the client processes you would in a local filesystem).
436 Make transaction counts more consistent. Merge /proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps
437 info into /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData. Fix oops in rare oops in readdir
438 (in build_wildcard_path_from_dentry). Fix mknod to pass type field
439 (block/char/fifo) properly. Remove spurious mount warning log entry when
440 credentials passed as mount argument. Set major/minor device number in
441 inode for block and char devices when unix extensions enabled.
445 Fix /proc/fs/cifs/Stats and DebugData display to handle larger
446 amounts of return data. Properly limit requests to MAX_REQ (50
447 is the usual maximum active multiplex SMB/CIFS requests per server).
448 Do not kill cifsd (and thus hurt the other SMB session) when more than one
449 session to the same server (but with different userids) exists and one
450 of the two user's smb sessions is being removed while leaving the other.
451 Do not loop reconnecting in cifsd demultiplex thread when admin
452 kills the thread without going through unmount.
456 Do not rename hardlinked files (since that should be a noop). Flush
457 cached write behind data when reopening a file after session abend,
458 except when already in write. Grab per socket sem during reconnect
459 to avoid oops in sendmsg if overlapping with reconnect. Do not
460 reset cached inode file size on readdir for files open for write on
466 Update number of blocks in file so du command is happier (in Linux a fake
467 blocksize of 512 is required for calculating number of blocks in inode).
468 Fix prepare write of partial pages to read in data from server if possible.
469 Fix race on tcpStatus field between unmount and reconnection code, causing
470 cifsd process sometimes to hang around forever. Improve out of memory
471 checks in cifs_filldir
475 Fix incorrect file size in file handle based setattr on big endian hardware.
476 Fix oops in build_path_from_dentry when out of memory. Add checks for invalid
477 and closing file structs in writepage/partialpagewrite. Add statistics
478 for each mounted share (new menuconfig option). Fix endianness problem in
479 volume information displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData (only affects
480 affects big endian architectures). Prevent renames while constructing
481 path names for open, mkdir and rmdir.
485 Change to mempools for alloc smb request buffers and multiplex structs
486 to better handle low memory problems (and potential deadlocks).
490 Fix incomplete listings of large directories on Samba servers when Unix
491 extensions enabled. Fix oops when smb_buffer can not be allocated. Fix
492 rename deadlock when writing out dirty pages at same time.
496 Fix open of files in which O_CREATE can cause the mode to change in
497 some cases. Fix case in which retry of write overlaps file close.
498 Fix PPC64 build error. Reduce excessive stack usage in smb password
499 hashing. Fix overwrite of Linux user's view of file mode to Windows servers.
503 Fixes for large file copy, signal handling, socket retry, buffer
504 allocation and low memory situations.
508 Better port 139 support to Windows servers (RFC1001/RFC1002 Session_Initialize)
509 also now allowing support for specifying client netbiosname. NT4 support added.
513 Fix reconnection (and certain failed mounts) to properly wake up the
514 blocked users thread so it does not seem hung (in some cases was blocked
515 until the cifs receive timeout expired). Fix spurious error logging
516 to kernel log when application with open network files killed.
520 Fix /proc/fs module unload warning message (that could be logged
521 to the kernel log). Fix intermittent failure in connectathon
522 test7 (hardlink count not immediately refreshed in case in which
523 inode metadata can be incorrectly kept cached when time near zero)
527 Allow file_mode and dir_mode (specified at mount time) to be enforced
528 locally (the server already enforced its own ACLs too) for servers
529 that do not report the correct mode (do not support the
530 CIFS Unix Extensions).
534 Fix some small memory leaks in some unmount error paths. Fix major leak
535 of cache pages in readpages causing multiple read oriented stress
536 testcases (including fsx, and even large file copy) to fail over time.
540 Send NTCreateX with ATTR_POSIX if Linux/Unix extensions negotiated with server.
541 This allows files that differ only in case and improves performance of file
542 creation and file open to such servers. Fix semaphore conflict which causes
543 slow delete of open file to Samba (which unfortunately can cause an oplock
544 break to self while vfs_unlink held i_sem) which can hang for 20 seconds.
548 fixes to cifs_readpages for fsx test case
552 Fix caching data integrity bug when extending file size especially when no
553 oplock on file. Fix spurious logging of valid already parsed mount options
554 that are parsed outside of the cifs vfs such as nosuid.
559 Connect to server when port number override not specified, and tcp port
560 unitialized. Reset search to restart at correct file when kernel routine
561 filldir returns error during large directory searches (readdir).
565 Fix caching problem when files opened by multiple clients in which
566 page cache could contain stale data, and write through did
567 not occur often enough while file was still open when read ahead
568 (read oplock) not allowed. Treat "sep=" when first mount option
569 as an override of comma as the default separator between mount
574 Allow passwords longer than 16 bytes. Allow null password string.
578 Gracefully clean up failed mounts when attempting to mount to servers such as
579 Windows 98 that terminate tcp sessions during protocol negotiation. Handle
580 embedded commas in mount parsing of passwords.
584 Invalidate local inode cached pages on oplock break and when last file
585 instance is closed so that the client does not continue using stale local
586 copy rather than later modified server copy of file. Do not reconnect
587 when server drops the tcp session prematurely before negotiate
588 protocol response. Fix oops in reopen_file when dentry freed. Allow
589 the support for CIFS Unix Extensions to be disabled via proc interface.
593 Fix hang in commit_write during reconnection of open files under heavy load.
594 Fix unload_nls oops in a mount failure path. Serialize writes to same socket
595 which also fixes any possible races when cifs signatures are enabled in SMBs
596 being sent out of signature sequence number order.
600 Fix byte range locking bug (endian problem) causing bad offset and
605 Fix oops (in send_sig) caused by CIFS unmount code trying to
606 wake up the demultiplex thread after it had exited. Do not log
607 error on harmless oplock release of closed handle.
611 Fix unsafe global variable usage and password hash failure on gcc 3.3.1
612 Fix problem reconnecting secondary mounts to same server after session
613 failure. Fix invalid dentry - race in mkdir when directory gets created
614 by another client between the lookup and mkdir.
618 Fix to list processing in reopen_files. Fix reconnection when server hung
619 but tcpip session still alive. Set proper timeout on socket read.
623 Add missing mount options including iocharset. SMP fixes in write and open.
624 Fix errors in reconnecting after TCP session failure. Fix module unloading
625 of default nls codepage

630 list processing in file routines. Check return code on kmalloc in open.
631 Fix spinlock usage for SMP.
635 Fix oops in reopen_files when invalid dentry. drop dentry on server rename
636 and on revalidate errors. Fix cases where pid is now tgid. Fix return code

641 Fix scheduling while atomic error in getting inode info on newly created file.
642 Fix truncate of existing files opened with O_CREAT but not O_TRUNC set.
646 Fix oops on write to dead tcp session. Remove error log write for case when file open
647 O_CREAT but not O_EXCL
651 Fix non-POSIX behavior on rename of open file and delete of open file by taking
652 advantage of trans2 SetFileInfo rename facility if available on target server.
653 Retry on ENOSPC and EAGAIN socket errors.
657 Fix oops on big endian readdir. Set blksize to be even power of two (2**blkbits) to fix
658 allocation size miscalculation. After oplock token lost do not read through
663 Fix oops on empty file readahead. Fix for file size handling for locally cached files.
667 Fix oops in mkdir when server fails to return inode info. Fix oops in reopen_files
668 during auto reconnection to server after server recovered from failure.
672 Finish support for Linux 2.5 open/create changes, which removes the
673 redundant NTCreate/QPathInfo/close that was sent during file create.
674 Enable oplock by default. Enable packet signing by default (needed to
675 access many recent Windows servers)
679 Fix oops when mounting to long server names caused by inverted parms to kmalloc.
680 Fix MultiuserMount (/proc/fs/cifs configuration setting) so that when enabled
681 we will choose a cifs user session (smb uid) that better matches the local
682 uid if a) the mount uid does not match the current uid and b) we have another
683 session to the same server (ip address) for a different mount which
684 matches the current local uid.
688 Add support for mknod of block or character devices. Fix oplock
689 code (distributed caching) to properly send response to oplock
694 Finish up CIFS packet digital signing for the default
695 NTLM security case. This should help Windows 2003
696 network interoperability since it is common for
697 packet signing to be required now. Fix statfs (stat -f)
698 which recently started returning errors due to
699 invalid value (-1 instead of 0) being set in the
700 struct kstatfs f_ffiles field.
704 Fix oops on stopping oplock thread when removing cifs when
709 Fix mount options for ro (readonly), uid, gid and file and directory mode.
713 Fix errors displayed on failed mounts to be more understandable.
714 Fixed various incorrect or misleading smb to posix error code mappings.
718 Fix display of NTFS DFS junctions to display as symlinks.
719 They are the network equivalent. Fix oops in
720 cifs_partialpagewrite caused by missing spinlock protection
721 of openfile linked list. Allow writebehind caching errors to
722 be returned to the application at file close.
726 Clean up options displayed in /proc/mounts by show_options to
727 be more consistent with other filesystems.
731 Fix delete of readonly file to Windows servers. Reflect
732 presence or absence of read only dos attribute in mode
733 bits for servers that do not support CIFS Unix extensions.
734 Fix shortened results on readdir of large directories to
735 servers supporting CIFS Unix extensions (caused by
736 incorrect resume key).
740 Fix truncate bug (set file size) that could cause hangs e.g. running fsx
744 unload nls if mount fails.
748 Add resume key support to search (readdir) code to workaround
749 Windows bug. Add /proc/fs/cifs/LookupCacheEnable which
750 allows disabling caching of attribute information for
755 Add more oplock handling (distributed caching code). Remove
756 dead code. Remove excessive stack space utilization from
761 Fix oops in get dfs referral (triggered when null path sent in to
762 mount). Add support for overriding rsize at mount time.
766 Fix buffer overrun in readdir which caused intermittent kernel oopses.
767 Fix writepage code to release kmap on write data. Allow "-ip=" new
768 mount option to be passed in on parameter distinct from the first part
769 (server name portion of) the UNC name. Allow override of the
770 tcp port of the target server via new mount option "-port="
774 Fix search handle leak on rewind. Fix setuid and gid so that they are
775 reflected in the local inode immediately. Cleanup of whitespace
776 to make 2.4 and 2.5 versions more consistent.
781 Fix signal sending so that captive thread (cifsd) exits on umount
782 (which was causing the warning in kmem_cache_free of the request buffers
783 at rmmod time). This had broken as a sideeffect of the recent global
784 kernel change to daemonize. Fix memory leak in readdir code which
785 showed up in "ls -R" (and applications that did search rewinding).
789 Reconnect tids and fids after session reconnection (still do not
790 reconnect byte range locks though). Fix problem caching
791 lookup information for directory inodes, improving performance,
792 especially in deep directory trees. Fix various build warnings.
796 Finish fixes to commit write for caching/readahead consistency. fsx
797 now works to Samba servers. Fix oops caused when readahead
798 was interrupted by a signal.
802 Fix data corruption (in partial page after truncate) that caused fsx to
803 fail to Windows servers. Cleaned up some extraneous error logging in
804 common error paths. Add generic sendfile support.
808 Fix memory leak in AllocMidQEntry.
809 Finish reconnection logic, so connection with server can be dropped
810 (or server rebooted) and the cifs client will reconnect.
814 Fix temporary socket leak when bad userid or password specified
815 (or other SMBSessSetup failure). Increase maximum buffer size to slightly
816 over 16K to allow negotiation of up to Samba and Windows server default read
817 sizes. Add support for readpages
821 Fix oops when username not passed in on mount. Extensive fixes and improvements
822 to error logging (strip redundant newlines, change debug macros to ensure newline
823 passed in and to be more consistent). Fix writepage wrong file handle problem,
824 a readonly file handle could be incorrectly used to attempt to write out
825 file updates through the page cache to multiply open files. This could cause
826 the iozone benchmark to fail on the fwrite test. Fix bug mounting two different
827 shares to the same Windows server when using different usernames
828 (doing this to Samba servers worked but Windows was rejecting it) - now it is
829 possible to use different userids when connecting to the same server from a
830 Linux client. Fix oops when treeDisconnect called during unmount on
831 previously freed socket.
835 Fix oops in readpages caused by not setting address space operations in inode in
840 Includes support for deleting of open files and renaming over existing files (per POSIX
841 requirement). Add readlink support for Windows junction points (directory symlinks).
845 Changed read and write to go through pagecache. Added additional address space operations.
846 Memory mapped operations now working.
850 Added writepage code for additional memory mapping support. Fixed leak in xids causing
851 the simultaneous operations counter (/proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps) to increase on
852 every stat call. Additional formatting cleanup.
856 Fix bigendian bug in order of time conversion. Merge 2.5 to 2.4 version. Formatting cleanup.
860 Fixes from Zwane Mwaikambo for adding missing return code checking in a few places.
861 Also included a modified version of his fix to protect global list manipulation of
862 the smb session and tree connection and mid related global variables.
866 Fix problem with captive thread hanging around at unmount time. Adjust to 2.5.42-pre
867 changes to superblock layout. Remove wasteful allocation of smb buffers (now the send
868 buffer is reused for responses). Add more oplock handling. Additional minor cleanup.
872 More stylistic updates to better match kernel style. Add additional statistics
873 for filesystem which can be viewed via /proc/fs/cifs. Add more pieces of NTLMv2
874 and CIFS Packet Signing enablement.
878 Replace call to sleep_on with safer wait_on_event.
879 Make stylistic changes to better match kernel style recommendations.
880 Remove most typedef usage (except for the PDUs themselves).
884 Update mount so the -unc mount option is no longer required (the ip address can be specified
885 in a UNC style device name. Implementation of readpage/writepage started.
889 Fix intermittent problem with incorrect smb header checking on badly
890 fragmented tcp responses
894 Fixes to setting of allocation size and file size.
898 Various 2.5.38 fixes. Now works on 2.5.38
902 Prepare for 2.5 kernel merge. Remove ifdefs.
906 Socket buffer management fixes. Fix dual free.
910 Various big endian fixes for hardlinks and symlinks and also for dfs.
914 Various big endian fixes for servers with Unix extensions such as Samba
918 Various FindNext fixes for incorrect filenames on large directory searches on big endian
919 clients. basic posix file i/o tests now work on big endian machines, not just le
923 SessionSetup and NegotiateProtocol now work from Big Endian machines.
924 Various Big Endian fixes found during testing on the Linux on 390. Various fixes for compatibility with older
925 versions of 2.4 kernel (now builds and works again on kernels at least as early as 2.4.7).
929 Various minor fixes for Connectathon Posix "basic" file i/o test suite. Directory caching fixed so hardlinked
930 files now return the correct number of links on fstat as they are repeatedly linked and unlinked.
934 Implemented "Raw" (i.e. not encapsulated in SPNEGO) NTLMSSP (i.e. the Security Provider Interface used to negotiate
935 session advanced session authentication). Raw NTLMSSP is preferred by Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP.
936 Began implementing support for SPNEGO encapsulation of NTLMSSP based session authentication blobs
937 (which is the mechanism preferred by Windows 2000 server in the absence of Kerberos).
941 Introduced optional mount helper utility mount.cifs and made coreq changes to cifs vfs to enable
942 it. Fixed a few bugs in the DFS code (e.g. bcc two bytes too short and incorrect uid in PDU).
946 Rewrote much of connection and mount/unmount logic to handle bugs with
947 multiple uses to same share, multiple users to same server etc.
951 Fixed major problem with dentry corruption (missing call to dput)
955 Rewrite of readdir code to fix bug. Various fixes for bigendian machines.
956 Begin adding oplock support. Multiusermount and oplockEnabled flags added to /proc/fs/cifs
957 although corresponding function not fully implemented in the vfs yet
961 Fixed dentry caching bug, misc. cleanup
965 Fixed 2.5 support to handle build and configure changes as well as misc. 2.5 changes. Now can build
966 on current 2.5 beta version (2.5.24) of the Linux kernel as well as on 2.4 Linux kernels.
967 Support for STATUS codes (newer 32 bit NT error codes) added. DFS support begun to be added.
971 Unix extensions (symlink, readlink, hardlink, chmod and some chgrp and chown) implemented
972 and tested against Samba 2.2.5
977 1) Fixed lockrange to be correct (it was one byte too short)
979 2) Fixed GETLK (i.e. the fcntl call to test a range of bytes in a file to see if locked) to correctly
980 show range as locked when there is a conflict with an existing lock.
982 3) default file perms are now 2767 (indicating support for mandatory locks) instead of 777 for directories
983 in most cases. Eventually will offer optional ability to query server for the correct perms.
985 3) Fixed eventual trap when mounting twice to different shares on the same server when the first succeeded
986 but the second one was invalid and failed (the second one was incorrectly disconnecting the tcp and smb
989 4) Fixed error logging of valid mount options
991 5) Removed logging of password field.
993 6) Moved negotiate, treeDisconnect and uloggoffX (only tConx and SessSetup remain in connect.c) to cifssmb.c
994 and cleaned them up and made them more consistent with other cifs functions.
996 7) Server support for Unix extensions is now fully detected and FindFirst is implemented both ways
997 (with or without Unix extensions) but FindNext and QueryPathInfo with the Unix extensions are not completed,
998 nor is the symlink support using the Unix extensions
1000 8) Started adding the readlink and follow_link code
