3 Support deep tree mounts. Better support OS/2, Win9x (DOS) time stamps.
4 Allow null user to be specified on mount ("username="). Do not return
5 EINVAL on readdir when filldir fails due to overwritten blocksize
10 Do not time out lockw calls when using posix extensions. Do not
11 time out requests if server still responding reasonably fast
12 on requests on other threads. Improve POSIX locking emulation,
13 (lock cancel now works, and unlock of merged range works even
14 to Windows servers now). Fix oops on mount to lanman servers
15 (win9x, os/2 etc.) when null password. Do not send listxattr
16 (SMB to query all EAs) if nouser_xattr specified. Fix SE Linux
17 problem (instantiate inodes/dentries in right order for readdir).
21 Rewritten sessionsetup support, including support for legacy SMB
22 session setup needed for OS/2 and older servers such as Windows 95 and 98.
23 Fix oops on ls to OS/2 servers. Add support for level 1 FindFirst
24 so we can do search (ls etc.) to OS/2. Do not send NTCreateX
25 or recent levels of FindFirst unless server says it supports NT SMBs
26 (instead use legacy equivalents from LANMAN dialect). Fix to allow
27 NTLMv2 authentication support (now can use stronger password hashing
28 on mount if corresponding /proc/fs/cifs/SecurityFlags is set (0x4004).
29 Allow override of global cifs security flags on mount via "sec=" option(s).
33 POSIX locking to servers which support CIFS POSIX Extensions
34 (disabled by default controlled by proc/fs/cifs/Experimental).
35 Handle conversion of long share names (especially Asian languages)
36 to Unicode during mount. Fix memory leak in sess struct on reconnect.
37 Fix rare oops after acpi suspend. Fix O_TRUNC opens to overwrite on
38 cifs open which helps rare case when setpathinfo fails or server does
43 Fix slow oplock break when mounted to different servers at the same time and
44 the tids match and we try to find matching fid on wrong server. Fix read
45 looping when signing required by server (2.6.16 kernel only). Fix readdir
46 vs. rename race which could cause each to hang. Return . and .. even
47 if server does not. Allow searches to skip first three entries and
48 begin at any location. Fix oops in find_writeable_file.
52 Fix NTLMv2 security (can be enabled in /proc/fs/cifs) so customers can
53 configure stronger authentication. Fix sfu symlinks so they can
54 be followed (not just recognized). Fix wraparound of bcc on
55 read responses when buffer size over 64K and also fix wrap of
56 max smb buffer size when CIFSMaxBufSize over 64K. Fix oops in
57 cifs_user_read and cifs_readpages (when EAGAIN on send of smb
58 on socket is returned over and over). Add POSIX (advisory) byte range
59 locking support (requires server with newest CIFS UNIX Extensions
60 to the protocol implemented). Slow down negprot slightly in port 139
61 RFC1001 case to give session_init time on buggy servers.
65 Use fsuid (fsgid) more consistently instead of uid (gid). Improve performance
66 of readpages by eliminating one extra memcpy. Allow update of file size
67 from remote server even if file is open for write as long as mount is
68 directio. Recognize share mode security and send NTLM encrypted password
69 on tree connect if share mode negotiated.
73 Defer close of a file handle slightly if pending writes depend on that handle
74 (this reduces the EBADF bad file handle errors that can be logged under heavy
75 stress on writes). Modify cifs Kconfig options to expose CONFIG_CIFS_STATS2
76 Fix SFU style symlinks and mknod needed for servers which do not support the
77 CIFS Unix Extensions. Fix setfacl/getfacl on bigendian. Timeout negative
78 dentries so files that the client sees as deleted but that later get created
79 on the server will be recognized. Add client side permission check on setattr.
80 Timeout stuck requests better (where server has never responded or sent corrupt
85 Fix tcp socket retransmission timeouts (e.g. on ENOSPACE from the socket)
86 to be smaller at first (but increasing) so large write performance performance
87 over GigE is better. Do not hang thread on illegal byte range lock response
88 from Windows (Windows can send an RFC1001 size which does not match smb size) by
89 allowing an SMBs TCP length to be up to a few bytes longer than it should be.
90 wsize and rsize can now be larger than negotiated buffer size if server
91 supports large readx/writex, even when directio mount flag not specified.
92 Write size will in many cases now be 16K instead of 4K which greatly helps
93 file copy performance on lightly loaded networks. Fix oops in dnotify
94 when experimental config flag enabled. Make cifsFYI more granular.
98 Fix readdir caching when unlink removes file in current search buffer,
99 and this is followed by a rewind search to just before the deleted entry.
100 Do not attempt to set ctime unless atime and/or mtime change requested
101 (most servers throw it away anyway). Fix length check of received smbs
102 to be more accurate. Fix big endian problem with mapchars mount option,
103 and with a field returned by statfs.
107 Add support for mounting to older pre-CIFS servers such as Windows9x and ME.
108 For these older servers, add option for passing netbios name of server in
109 on mount (servernetbiosname). Add suspend support for power management, to
110 avoid cifsd thread preventing software suspend from working.
111 Add mount option for disabling the default behavior of sending byte range lock
112 requests to the server (necessary for certain applications which break with
113 mandatory lock behavior such as Evolution), and also mount option for
114 requesting case insensitive matching for path based requests (requesting
115 case sensitive is the default).
119 Add writepage performance improvements. Fix path name conversions
120 for long filenames on mounts which were done with "mapchars" mount option
121 specified. Ensure multiplex ids do not collide. Fix case in which
122 rmmod can oops if done soon after last unmount. Fix truncated
123 search (readdir) output when resume filename was a long filename.
124 Fix filename conversion when mapchars mount option was specified and
125 filename was a long filename.
129 Fix error mapping of the TOO_MANY_LINKS (hardlinks) case.
130 Do not oops if root user kills cifs oplock kernel thread or
131 kills the cifsd thread (NB: killing the cifs kernel threads is not
132 recommended, unmount and rmmod cifs will kill them when they are
133 no longer needed). Fix readdir to ASCII servers (ie older servers
134 which do not support Unicode) and also require asterisk.
135 Fix out of memory case in which data could be written one page
136 off in the page cache.
140 Fix caching problem, in which readdir of directory containing a file
141 which was cached could cause the file's time stamp to be updated
142 without invalidating the readahead data (so we could get stale
143 file data on the client for that file even as the server copy changed).
144 Cleanup response processing so cifsd can not loop when abnormally
150 Fix oops in ls when Transact2 FindFirst (or FindNext) returns more than one
151 transact response for an SMB request and search entry split across two frames.
152 Add support for lsattr (getting ext2/ext3/reiserfs attr flags from the server)
153 as new protocol extensions. Do not send Get/Set calls for POSIX ACLs
154 unless server explicitly claims to support them in CIFS Unix extensions
155 POSIX ACL capability bit. Fix packet signing when multiuser mounting with
156 different users from the same client to the same server. Fix oops in
157 cifs_close. Add mount option for remapping reserved characters in
158 filenames (also allow recognizing files with created by SFU which have any
159 of these seven reserved characters, except backslash, to be recognized).
160 Fix invalid transact2 message (we were sometimes trying to interpret
161 oplock breaks as SMB responses). Add ioctl for checking that the
162 current uid matches the uid of the mounter (needed by umount.cifs).
163 Reduce the number of large buffer allocations in cifs response processing
164 (significantly reduces memory pressure under heavy stress with multiple
165 processes accessing the same server at the same time).
169 Fix updates of DOS attributes and time fields so that files on NT4 servers
170 do not get marked delete on close. Display sizes of cifs buffer pools in
171 cifs stats. Fix oops in unmount when cifsd thread being killed by
172 shutdown. Add generic readv/writev and aio support. Report inode numbers
173 consistently in readdir and lookup (when serverino mount option is
174 specified use the inode number that the server reports - for both lookup
175 and readdir, otherwise by default the locally generated inode number is used
176 for inodes created in either path since servers are not always able to
177 provide unique inode numbers when exporting multiple volumes from under one
182 Allow new nouser_xattr mount parm to disable xattr support for user namespace.
183 Do not flag user_xattr mount parm in dmesg. Retry failures setting file time
184 (mostly affects NT4 servers) by retry with handle based network operation.
185 Add new POSIX Query FS Info for returning statfs info more accurately.
186 Handle passwords with multiple commas in them.
190 Fix default mode in sysfs of cifs module parms. Remove old readdir routine.
191 Fix capabilities flags for large readx so as to allow reads larger than 64K.
195 Add module init parm for large SMB buffer size (to allow it to be changed
196 from its default of 16K) which is especially useful for large file copy
197 when mounting with the directio mount option. Fix oops after
198 returning from mount when experimental ExtendedSecurity enabled and
199 SpnegoNegotiated returning invalid error. Fix case to retry better when
200 peek returns from 1 to 3 bytes on socket which should have more data.
201 Fixed path based calls (such as cifs lookup) to handle path names
202 longer than 530 (now can handle PATH_MAX). Fix pass through authentication
203 from Samba server to DC (Samba required dummy LM password).
207 Turn off DNOTIFY (directory change notification support) by default
208 (unless built with the experimental flag) to fix hang with KDE
209 file browser. Fix DNOTIFY flag mappings. Fix hang (in wait_event
210 waiting on an SMB response) in SendReceive when session dies but
211 reconnects quickly from another task. Add module init parms for
212 minimum number of large and small network buffers in the buffer pools,
213 and for the maximum number of simultaneous requests.
217 Add setfacl support to allow setting of ACLs remotely to Samba 3.10 and later
218 and other POSIX CIFS compliant servers. Fix error mapping for getfacl
219 to EOPNOTSUPP when server does not support posix acls on the wire. Fix
220 improperly zeroed buffer in CIFS Unix extensions set times call.
224 Fix internationalization problem in cifs readdir with filenames that map to
225 longer UTF-8 strings than the string on the wire was in Unicode. Add workaround
226 for readdir to netapp servers. Fix search rewind (seek into readdir to return
227 non-consecutive entries). Do not do readdir when server negotiates
228 buffer size to small to fit filename. Add support for reading POSIX ACLs from
229 the server (add also acl and noacl mount options).
233 Optionally allow using server side inode numbers, rather than client generated
234 ones by specifying mount option "serverino" - this is required for some apps
235 to work which double check hardlinked files and have persistent inode numbers.
239 Multiple bigendian fixes. On little endian systems (for reconnect after
240 network failure) fix tcp session reconnect code so we do not try first
241 to reconnect on reverse of port 445. Treat reparse points (NTFS junctions)
242 as directories rather than symlinks because we can do follow link on them.
246 Add config option to enable XATTR (extended attribute) support, mapping
247 xattr names in the "user." namespace space to SMB/CIFS EAs. Lots of
248 minor fixes pointed out by the Stanford SWAT checker (mostly missing
249 or out of order NULL pointer checks in little used error paths).
253 Add new mount parm to control whether mode check (generic_permission) is done
254 on the client. If Unix extensions are enabled and the uids on the client
255 and server do not match, client permission checks are meaningless on
256 server uids that do not exist on the client (this does not affect the
257 normal ACL check which occurs on the server). Fix default uid
258 on mknod to match create and mkdir. Add optional mount parm to allow
259 override of the default uid behavior (in which the server sets the uid
260 and gid of newly created files). Normally for network filesystem mounts
261 user want the server to set the uid/gid on newly created files (rather than
262 using uid of the client processes you would in a local filesystem).
266 Make transaction counts more consistent. Merge /proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps
267 info into /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData. Fix oops in rare oops in readdir
268 (in build_wildcard_path_from_dentry). Fix mknod to pass type field
269 (block/char/fifo) properly. Remove spurious mount warning log entry when
270 credentials passed as mount argument. Set major/minor device number in
271 inode for block and char devices when unix extensions enabled.
275 Fix /proc/fs/cifs/Stats and DebugData display to handle larger
276 amounts of return data. Properly limit requests to MAX_REQ (50
277 is the usual maximum active multiplex SMB/CIFS requests per server).
278 Do not kill cifsd (and thus hurt the other SMB session) when more than one
279 session to the same server (but with different userids) exists and one
280 of the two user's smb sessions is being removed while leaving the other.
281 Do not loop reconnecting in cifsd demultiplex thread when admin
282 kills the thread without going through unmount.
286 Do not rename hardlinked files (since that should be a noop). Flush
287 cached write behind data when reopening a file after session abend,
288 except when already in write. Grab per socket sem during reconnect
289 to avoid oops in sendmsg if overlapping with reconnect. Do not
290 reset cached inode file size on readdir for files open for write on
296 Update number of blocks in file so du command is happier (in Linux a fake
297 blocksize of 512 is required for calculating number of blocks in inode).
298 Fix prepare write of partial pages to read in data from server if possible.
299 Fix race on tcpStatus field between unmount and reconnection code, causing
300 cifsd process sometimes to hang around forever. Improve out of memory
301 checks in cifs_filldir
305 Fix incorrect file size in file handle based setattr on big endian hardware.
306 Fix oops in build_path_from_dentry when out of memory. Add checks for invalid
307 and closing file structs in writepage/partialpagewrite. Add statistics
308 for each mounted share (new menuconfig option). Fix endianness problem in
309 volume information displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData (only affects
310 affects big endian architectures). Prevent renames while constructing
311 path names for open, mkdir and rmdir.
315 Change to mempools for alloc smb request buffers and multiplex structs
316 to better handle low memory problems (and potential deadlocks).
320 Fix incomplete listings of large directories on Samba servers when Unix
321 extensions enabled. Fix oops when smb_buffer can not be allocated. Fix
322 rename deadlock when writing out dirty pages at same time.
326 Fix open of files in which O_CREATE can cause the mode to change in
327 some cases. Fix case in which retry of write overlaps file close.
328 Fix PPC64 build error. Reduce excessive stack usage in smb password
329 hashing. Fix overwrite of Linux user's view of file mode to Windows servers.
333 Fixes for large file copy, signal handling, socket retry, buffer
334 allocation and low memory situations.
338 Better port 139 support to Windows servers (RFC1001/RFC1002 Session_Initialize)
339 also now allowing support for specifying client netbiosname. NT4 support added.
343 Fix reconnection (and certain failed mounts) to properly wake up the
344 blocked users thread so it does not seem hung (in some cases was blocked
345 until the cifs receive timeout expired). Fix spurious error logging
346 to kernel log when application with open network files killed.
350 Fix /proc/fs module unload warning message (that could be logged
351 to the kernel log). Fix intermittent failure in connectathon
352 test7 (hardlink count not immediately refreshed in case in which
353 inode metadata can be incorrectly kept cached when time near zero)
357 Allow file_mode and dir_mode (specified at mount time) to be enforced
358 locally (the server already enforced its own ACLs too) for servers
359 that do not report the correct mode (do not support the
360 CIFS Unix Extensions).
364 Fix some small memory leaks in some unmount error paths. Fix major leak
365 of cache pages in readpages causing multiple read oriented stress
366 testcases (including fsx, and even large file copy) to fail over time.
370 Send NTCreateX with ATTR_POSIX if Linux/Unix extensions negotiated with server.
371 This allows files that differ only in case and improves performance of file
372 creation and file open to such servers. Fix semaphore conflict which causes
373 slow delete of open file to Samba (which unfortunately can cause an oplock
374 break to self while vfs_unlink held i_sem) which can hang for 20 seconds.
378 fixes to cifs_readpages for fsx test case
382 Fix caching data integrity bug when extending file size especially when no
383 oplock on file. Fix spurious logging of valid already parsed mount options
384 that are parsed outside of the cifs vfs such as nosuid.
389 Connect to server when port number override not specified, and tcp port
390 unitialized. Reset search to restart at correct file when kernel routine
391 filldir returns error during large directory searches (readdir).
395 Fix caching problem when files opened by multiple clients in which
396 page cache could contain stale data, and write through did
397 not occur often enough while file was still open when read ahead
398 (read oplock) not allowed. Treat "sep=" when first mount option
399 as an override of comma as the default separator between mount
404 Allow passwords longer than 16 bytes. Allow null password string.
408 Gracefully clean up failed mounts when attempting to mount to servers such as
409 Windows 98 that terminate tcp sessions during protocol negotiation. Handle
410 embedded commas in mount parsing of passwords.
414 Invalidate local inode cached pages on oplock break and when last file
415 instance is closed so that the client does not continue using stale local
416 copy rather than later modified server copy of file. Do not reconnect
417 when server drops the tcp session prematurely before negotiate
418 protocol response. Fix oops in reopen_file when dentry freed. Allow
419 the support for CIFS Unix Extensions to be disabled via proc interface.
423 Fix hang in commit_write during reconnection of open files under heavy load.
424 Fix unload_nls oops in a mount failure path. Serialize writes to same socket
425 which also fixes any possible races when cifs signatures are enabled in SMBs
426 being sent out of signature sequence number order.
430 Fix byte range locking bug (endian problem) causing bad offset and
435 Fix oops (in send_sig) caused by CIFS unmount code trying to
436 wake up the demultiplex thread after it had exited. Do not log
437 error on harmless oplock release of closed handle.
441 Fix unsafe global variable usage and password hash failure on gcc 3.3.1
442 Fix problem reconnecting secondary mounts to same server after session
443 failure. Fix invalid dentry - race in mkdir when directory gets created
444 by another client between the lookup and mkdir.
448 Fix to list processing in reopen_files. Fix reconnection when server hung
449 but tcpip session still alive. Set proper timeout on socket read.
453 Add missing mount options including iocharset. SMP fixes in write and open.
454 Fix errors in reconnecting after TCP session failure. Fix module unloading
455 of default nls codepage
459 Active smb transactions should never go negative (fix double FreeXid). Fix
460 list processing in file routines. Check return code on kmalloc in open.
461 Fix spinlock usage for SMP.
465 Fix oops in reopen_files when invalid dentry. drop dentry on server rename
466 and on revalidate errors. Fix cases where pid is now tgid. Fix return code
467 on create hard link when server does not support them.
471 Fix scheduling while atomic error in getting inode info on newly created file.
472 Fix truncate of existing files opened with O_CREAT but not O_TRUNC set.
476 Fix oops on write to dead tcp session. Remove error log write for case when file open
477 O_CREAT but not O_EXCL
481 Fix non-POSIX behavior on rename of open file and delete of open file by taking
482 advantage of trans2 SetFileInfo rename facility if available on target server.
483 Retry on ENOSPC and EAGAIN socket errors.
487 Fix oops on big endian readdir. Set blksize to be even power of two (2**blkbits) to fix
488 allocation size miscalculation. After oplock token lost do not read through
493 Fix oops on empty file readahead. Fix for file size handling for locally cached files.
497 Fix oops in mkdir when server fails to return inode info. Fix oops in reopen_files
498 during auto reconnection to server after server recovered from failure.
502 Finish support for Linux 2.5 open/create changes, which removes the
503 redundant NTCreate/QPathInfo/close that was sent during file create.
504 Enable oplock by default. Enable packet signing by default (needed to
505 access many recent Windows servers)
509 Fix oops when mounting to long server names caused by inverted parms to kmalloc.
510 Fix MultiuserMount (/proc/fs/cifs configuration setting) so that when enabled
511 we will choose a cifs user session (smb uid) that better matches the local
512 uid if a) the mount uid does not match the current uid and b) we have another
513 session to the same server (ip address) for a different mount which
514 matches the current local uid.
518 Add support for mknod of block or character devices. Fix oplock
519 code (distributed caching) to properly send response to oplock
524 Finish up CIFS packet digital signing for the default
525 NTLM security case. This should help Windows 2003
526 network interoperability since it is common for
527 packet signing to be required now. Fix statfs (stat -f)
528 which recently started returning errors due to
529 invalid value (-1 instead of 0) being set in the
530 struct kstatfs f_ffiles field.
534 Fix oops on stopping oplock thread when removing cifs when
539 Fix mount options for ro (readonly), uid, gid and file and directory mode.
543 Fix errors displayed on failed mounts to be more understandable.
544 Fixed various incorrect or misleading smb to posix error code mappings.
548 Fix display of NTFS DFS junctions to display as symlinks.
549 They are the network equivalent. Fix oops in
550 cifs_partialpagewrite caused by missing spinlock protection
551 of openfile linked list. Allow writebehind caching errors to
552 be returned to the application at file close.
556 Clean up options displayed in /proc/mounts by show_options to
557 be more consistent with other filesystems.
561 Fix delete of readonly file to Windows servers. Reflect
562 presence or absence of read only dos attribute in mode
563 bits for servers that do not support CIFS Unix extensions.
564 Fix shortened results on readdir of large directories to
565 servers supporting CIFS Unix extensions (caused by
566 incorrect resume key).
570 Fix truncate bug (set file size) that could cause hangs e.g. running fsx
574 unload nls if mount fails.
578 Add resume key support to search (readdir) code to workaround
579 Windows bug. Add /proc/fs/cifs/LookupCacheEnable which
580 allows disabling caching of attribute information for
585 Add more oplock handling (distributed caching code). Remove
586 dead code. Remove excessive stack space utilization from
591 Fix oops in get dfs referral (triggered when null path sent in to
592 mount). Add support for overriding rsize at mount time.
596 Fix buffer overrun in readdir which caused intermittent kernel oopses.
597 Fix writepage code to release kmap on write data. Allow "-ip=" new
598 mount option to be passed in on parameter distinct from the first part
599 (server name portion of) the UNC name. Allow override of the
600 tcp port of the target server via new mount option "-port="
604 Fix search handle leak on rewind. Fix setuid and gid so that they are
605 reflected in the local inode immediately. Cleanup of whitespace
606 to make 2.4 and 2.5 versions more consistent.
611 Fix signal sending so that captive thread (cifsd) exits on umount
612 (which was causing the warning in kmem_cache_free of the request buffers
613 at rmmod time). This had broken as a sideeffect of the recent global
614 kernel change to daemonize. Fix memory leak in readdir code which
615 showed up in "ls -R" (and applications that did search rewinding).
619 Reconnect tids and fids after session reconnection (still do not
620 reconnect byte range locks though). Fix problem caching
621 lookup information for directory inodes, improving performance,
622 especially in deep directory trees. Fix various build warnings.
626 Finish fixes to commit write for caching/readahead consistency. fsx
627 now works to Samba servers. Fix oops caused when readahead
628 was interrupted by a signal.
632 Fix data corruption (in partial page after truncate) that caused fsx to
633 fail to Windows servers. Cleaned up some extraneous error logging in
634 common error paths. Add generic sendfile support.
638 Fix memory leak in AllocMidQEntry.
639 Finish reconnection logic, so connection with server can be dropped
640 (or server rebooted) and the cifs client will reconnect.
644 Fix temporary socket leak when bad userid or password specified
645 (or other SMBSessSetup failure). Increase maximum buffer size to slightly
646 over 16K to allow negotiation of up to Samba and Windows server default read
647 sizes. Add support for readpages
651 Fix oops when username not passed in on mount. Extensive fixes and improvements
652 to error logging (strip redundant newlines, change debug macros to ensure newline
653 passed in and to be more consistent). Fix writepage wrong file handle problem,
654 a readonly file handle could be incorrectly used to attempt to write out
655 file updates through the page cache to multiply open files. This could cause
656 the iozone benchmark to fail on the fwrite test. Fix bug mounting two different
657 shares to the same Windows server when using different usernames
658 (doing this to Samba servers worked but Windows was rejecting it) - now it is
659 possible to use different userids when connecting to the same server from a
660 Linux client. Fix oops when treeDisconnect called during unmount on
661 previously freed socket.
665 Fix oops in readpages caused by not setting address space operations in inode in
670 Includes support for deleting of open files and renaming over existing files (per POSIX
671 requirement). Add readlink support for Windows junction points (directory symlinks).
675 Changed read and write to go through pagecache. Added additional address space operations.
676 Memory mapped operations now working.
680 Added writepage code for additional memory mapping support. Fixed leak in xids causing
681 the simultaneous operations counter (/proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps) to increase on
682 every stat call. Additional formatting cleanup.
686 Fix bigendian bug in order of time conversion. Merge 2.5 to 2.4 version. Formatting cleanup.
690 Fixes from Zwane Mwaikambo for adding missing return code checking in a few places.
691 Also included a modified version of his fix to protect global list manipulation of
692 the smb session and tree connection and mid related global variables.
696 Fix problem with captive thread hanging around at unmount time. Adjust to 2.5.42-pre
697 changes to superblock layout. Remove wasteful allocation of smb buffers (now the send
698 buffer is reused for responses). Add more oplock handling. Additional minor cleanup.
702 More stylistic updates to better match kernel style. Add additional statistics
703 for filesystem which can be viewed via /proc/fs/cifs. Add more pieces of NTLMv2
704 and CIFS Packet Signing enablement.
708 Replace call to sleep_on with safer wait_on_event.
709 Make stylistic changes to better match kernel style recommendations.
710 Remove most typedef usage (except for the PDUs themselves).
714 Update mount so the -unc mount option is no longer required (the ip address can be specified
715 in a UNC style device name. Implementation of readpage/writepage started.
719 Fix intermittent problem with incorrect smb header checking on badly
720 fragmented tcp responses
724 Fixes to setting of allocation size and file size.
728 Various 2.5.38 fixes. Now works on 2.5.38
732 Prepare for 2.5 kernel merge. Remove ifdefs.
736 Socket buffer management fixes. Fix dual free.
740 Various big endian fixes for hardlinks and symlinks and also for dfs.
744 Various big endian fixes for servers with Unix extensions such as Samba
748 Various FindNext fixes for incorrect filenames on large directory searches on big endian
749 clients. basic posix file i/o tests now work on big endian machines, not just le
753 SessionSetup and NegotiateProtocol now work from Big Endian machines.
754 Various Big Endian fixes found during testing on the Linux on 390. Various fixes for compatibility with older
755 versions of 2.4 kernel (now builds and works again on kernels at least as early as 2.4.7).
759 Various minor fixes for Connectathon Posix "basic" file i/o test suite. Directory caching fixed so hardlinked
760 files now return the correct number of links on fstat as they are repeatedly linked and unlinked.
764 Implemented "Raw" (i.e. not encapsulated in SPNEGO) NTLMSSP (i.e. the Security Provider Interface used to negotiate
765 session advanced session authentication). Raw NTLMSSP is preferred by Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP.
766 Began implementing support for SPNEGO encapsulation of NTLMSSP based session authentication blobs
767 (which is the mechanism preferred by Windows 2000 server in the absence of Kerberos).
771 Introduced optional mount helper utility mount.cifs and made coreq changes to cifs vfs to enable
772 it. Fixed a few bugs in the DFS code (e.g. bcc two bytes too short and incorrect uid in PDU).
776 Rewrote much of connection and mount/unmount logic to handle bugs with
777 multiple uses to same share, multiple users to same server etc.
781 Fixed major problem with dentry corruption (missing call to dput)
785 Rewrite of readdir code to fix bug. Various fixes for bigendian machines.
786 Begin adding oplock support. Multiusermount and oplockEnabled flags added to /proc/fs/cifs
787 although corresponding function not fully implemented in the vfs yet
791 Fixed dentry caching bug, misc. cleanup
795 Fixed 2.5 support to handle build and configure changes as well as misc. 2.5 changes. Now can build
796 on current 2.5 beta version (2.5.24) of the Linux kernel as well as on 2.4 Linux kernels.
797 Support for STATUS codes (newer 32 bit NT error codes) added. DFS support begun to be added.
801 Unix extensions (symlink, readlink, hardlink, chmod and some chgrp and chown) implemented
802 and tested against Samba 2.2.5
807 1) Fixed lockrange to be correct (it was one byte too short)
809 2) Fixed GETLK (i.e. the fcntl call to test a range of bytes in a file to see if locked) to correctly
810 show range as locked when there is a conflict with an existing lock.
812 3) default file perms are now 2767 (indicating support for mandatory locks) instead of 777 for directories
813 in most cases. Eventually will offer optional ability to query server for the correct perms.
815 3) Fixed eventual trap when mounting twice to different shares on the same server when the first succeeded
816 but the second one was invalid and failed (the second one was incorrectly disconnecting the tcp and smb
819 4) Fixed error logging of valid mount options
821 5) Removed logging of password field.
823 6) Moved negotiate, treeDisconnect and uloggoffX (only tConx and SessSetup remain in connect.c) to cifssmb.c
824 and cleaned them up and made them more consistent with other cifs functions.
826 7) Server support for Unix extensions is now fully detected and FindFirst is implemented both ways
827 (with or without Unix extensions) but FindNext and QueryPathInfo with the Unix extensions are not completed,
828 nor is the symlink support using the Unix extensions
830 8) Started adding the readlink and follow_link code
