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
11 DFS support added (Microsoft Distributed File System client support needed
12 for referrals which enable a hierarchical name space among servers).
13 Disable temporary caching of mode bits to servers which do not support
14 storing of mode (e.g. Windows servers, when client mounts without cifsacl
15 mount option) and add new "dynperm" mount option to enable temporary caching
16 of mode (enable old behavior). Fix hang on mount caused when server crashes
17 tcp session during negotiate protocol.
21 Fix oops on second mount to server when null auth is used.
22 Enable experimental Kerberos support. Return writebehind errors on flush
23 and sync so that events like out of disk space get reported properly on
24 cached files. Fix setxattr failure to certain Samba versions. Fix mount
25 of second share to disconnected server session (autoreconnect on this).
26 Add ability to modify cifs acls for handling chmod (when mounted with
27 cifsacl flag). Fix prefixpath path separator so we can handle mounts
28 with prefixpaths longer than one directory (one path component) when
29 mounted to Windows servers. Fix slow file open when cifsacl
30 enabled. Fix memory leak in FindNext when the SMB call returns -EBADF.
35 Fix memory leak in statfs when mounted to very old servers (e.g.
36 Windows 9x). Add new feature "POSIX open" which allows servers
37 which support the current POSIX Extensions to provide better semantics
38 (e.g. delete for open files opened with posix open). Take into
39 account umask on posix mkdir not just older style mkdir. Add
40 ability to mount to IPC$ share (which allows CIFS named pipes to be
41 opened, read and written as if they were files). When 1st tree
42 connect fails (e.g. due to signing negotiation failure) fix
43 leak that causes cifsd not to stop and rmmod to fail to cleanup
44 cifs_request_buffers pool. Fix problem with POSIX Open/Mkdir on
45 bigendian architectures. Fix possible memory corruption when
46 EAGAIN returned on kern_recvmsg. Return better error if server
47 requires packet signing but client has disabled it. When mounted
48 with cifsacl mount option - mode bits are approximated based
49 on the contents of the ACL of the file or directory. When cifs
50 mount helper is missing convert make sure that UNC name
51 has backslash (not forward slash) between ip address of server
56 Fix NTLMv2 signing. NFS server mounted over cifs works (if cifs mount is
57 done with "serverino" mount option). Add support for POSIX Unlink
58 (helps with certain sharing violation cases when server such as
59 Samba supports newer POSIX CIFS Protocol Extensions). Add "nounix"
60 mount option to allow disabling the CIFS Unix Extensions for just
61 that mount. Fix hang on spinlock in find_writable_file (race when
62 reopening file after session crash). Byte range unlock request to
63 windows server could unlock more bytes (on server copy of file)
64 than intended if start of unlock request is well before start of
65 a previous byte range lock that we issued.
69 IPv6 support. Enable ipv6 addresses to be passed on mount (put the ipv6
70 address after the "ip=" mount option, at least until mount.cifs is fixed to
71 handle DNS host to ipv6 name translation). Accept override of uid or gid
72 on mount even when Unix Extensions are negotiated (it used to be ignored
73 when Unix Extensions were ignored). This allows users to override the
74 default uid and gid for files when they are certain that the uids or
75 gids on the server do not match those of the client. Make "sec=none"
76 mount override username (so that null user connection is attempted)
77 to match what documentation said. Support for very large reads, over 127K,
78 available to some newer servers (such as Samba 3.0.26 and later but
79 note that it also requires setting CIFSMaxBufSize at module install
80 time to a larger value which may hurt performance in some cases).
81 Make sign option force signing (or fail if server does not support it).
85 Fix mtime bouncing around from local idea of last write times to remote time.
86 Fix hang (in i_size_read) when simultaneous size update of same remote file
87 on smp system corrupts sequence number. Do not reread unnecessarily partial page
88 (which we are about to overwrite anyway) when writing out file opened rw.
89 When DOS attribute of file on non-Unix server's file changes on the server side
90 from read-only back to read-write, reflect this change in default file mode
91 (we had been leaving a file's mode read-only until the inode were reloaded).
92 Allow setting of attribute back to ATTR_NORMAL (removing readonly dos attribute
93 when archive dos attribute not set and we are changing mode back to writeable
94 on server which does not support the Unix Extensions). Remove read only dos
95 attribute on chmod when adding any write permission (ie on any of
96 user/group/other (not all of user/group/other ie 0222) when
97 mounted to windows. Add support for POSIX MkDir (slight performance
98 enhancement and eliminates the network race between the mkdir and set
99 path info of the mode).
104 Fix oops in list_del during mount caused by unaligned string.
105 Fix file corruption which could occur on some large file
106 copies caused by writepages page i/o completion bug.
107 Seek to SEEK_END forces check for update of file size for non-cached
108 files. Allow file size to be updated on remote extend of locally open,
109 non-cached file. Fix reconnect to newer Samba servers (or other servers
110 which support the CIFS Unix/POSIX extensions) so that we again tell the
111 server the Unix/POSIX cifs capabilities which we support (SetFSInfo).
112 Add experimental support for new POSIX Open/Mkdir (which returns
113 stat information on the open, and allows setting the mode).
117 Support deep tree mounts. Better support OS/2, Win9x (DOS) time stamps.
118 Allow null user to be specified on mount ("username="). Do not return
119 EINVAL on readdir when filldir fails due to overwritten blocksize
120 (fixes FC problem). Return error in rename 2nd attempt retry (ie report
121 if rename by handle also fails, after rename by path fails, we were
122 not reporting whether the retry worked or not). Fix NTLMv2 to
123 work to Windows servers (mount with option "sec=ntlmv2").
127 Do not time out lockw calls when using posix extensions. Do not
128 time out requests if server still responding reasonably fast
129 on requests on other threads. Improve POSIX locking emulation,
130 (lock cancel now works, and unlock of merged range works even
131 to Windows servers now). Fix oops on mount to lanman servers
132 (win9x, os/2 etc.) when null password. Do not send listxattr
133 (SMB to query all EAs) if nouser_xattr specified. Fix SE Linux
134 problem (instantiate inodes/dentries in right order for readdir).
138 Rewritten sessionsetup support, including support for legacy SMB
139 session setup needed for OS/2 and older servers such as Windows 95 and 98.
140 Fix oops on ls to OS/2 servers. Add support for level 1 FindFirst
141 so we can do search (ls etc.) to OS/2. Do not send NTCreateX
142 or recent levels of FindFirst unless server says it supports NT SMBs
143 (instead use legacy equivalents from LANMAN dialect). Fix to allow
144 NTLMv2 authentication support (now can use stronger password hashing
145 on mount if corresponding /proc/fs/cifs/SecurityFlags is set (0x4004).
146 Allow override of global cifs security flags on mount via "sec=" option(s).
150 POSIX locking to servers which support CIFS POSIX Extensions
151 (disabled by default controlled by proc/fs/cifs/Experimental).
152 Handle conversion of long share names (especially Asian languages)
153 to Unicode during mount. Fix memory leak in sess struct on reconnect.
154 Fix rare oops after acpi suspend. Fix O_TRUNC opens to overwrite on
155 cifs open which helps rare case when setpathinfo fails or server does
160 Fix slow oplock break when mounted to different servers at the same time and
161 the tids match and we try to find matching fid on wrong server. Fix read
162 looping when signing required by server (2.6.16 kernel only). Fix readdir
163 vs. rename race which could cause each to hang. Return . and .. even
164 if server does not. Allow searches to skip first three entries and
165 begin at any location. Fix oops in find_writeable_file.
169 Fix NTLMv2 security (can be enabled in /proc/fs/cifs) so customers can
170 configure stronger authentication. Fix sfu symlinks so they can
171 be followed (not just recognized). Fix wraparound of bcc on
172 read responses when buffer size over 64K and also fix wrap of
173 max smb buffer size when CIFSMaxBufSize over 64K. Fix oops in
174 cifs_user_read and cifs_readpages (when EAGAIN on send of smb
175 on socket is returned over and over). Add POSIX (advisory) byte range
176 locking support (requires server with newest CIFS UNIX Extensions
177 to the protocol implemented). Slow down negprot slightly in port 139
178 RFC1001 case to give session_init time on buggy servers.
182 Use fsuid (fsgid) more consistently instead of uid (gid). Improve performance
183 of readpages by eliminating one extra memcpy. Allow update of file size
184 from remote server even if file is open for write as long as mount is
185 directio. Recognize share mode security and send NTLM encrypted password
186 on tree connect if share mode negotiated.
190 Defer close of a file handle slightly if pending writes depend on that handle
191 (this reduces the EBADF bad file handle errors that can be logged under heavy
192 stress on writes). Modify cifs Kconfig options to expose CONFIG_CIFS_STATS2
193 Fix SFU style symlinks and mknod needed for servers which do not support the
194 CIFS Unix Extensions. Fix setfacl/getfacl on bigendian. Timeout negative
195 dentries so files that the client sees as deleted but that later get created
196 on the server will be recognized. Add client side permission check on setattr.
197 Timeout stuck requests better (where server has never responded or sent corrupt
202 Fix tcp socket retransmission timeouts (e.g. on ENOSPACE from the socket)
203 to be smaller at first (but increasing) so large write performance performance
204 over GigE is better. Do not hang thread on illegal byte range lock response
205 from Windows (Windows can send an RFC1001 size which does not match smb size) by
206 allowing an SMBs TCP length to be up to a few bytes longer than it should be.
207 wsize and rsize can now be larger than negotiated buffer size if server
208 supports large readx/writex, even when directio mount flag not specified.
209 Write size will in many cases now be 16K instead of 4K which greatly helps
210 file copy performance on lightly loaded networks. Fix oops in dnotify
211 when experimental config flag enabled. Make cifsFYI more granular.
215 Fix readdir caching when unlink removes file in current search buffer,
216 and this is followed by a rewind search to just before the deleted entry.
217 Do not attempt to set ctime unless atime and/or mtime change requested
218 (most servers throw it away anyway). Fix length check of received smbs
219 to be more accurate. Fix big endian problem with mapchars mount option,
220 and with a field returned by statfs.
224 Add support for mounting to older pre-CIFS servers such as Windows9x and ME.
225 For these older servers, add option for passing netbios name of server in
226 on mount (servernetbiosname). Add suspend support for power management, to
227 avoid cifsd thread preventing software suspend from working.
228 Add mount option for disabling the default behavior of sending byte range lock
229 requests to the server (necessary for certain applications which break with
230 mandatory lock behavior such as Evolution), and also mount option for
231 requesting case insensitive matching for path based requests (requesting
232 case sensitive is the default).
236 Add writepage performance improvements. Fix path name conversions
237 for long filenames on mounts which were done with "mapchars" mount option
238 specified. Ensure multiplex ids do not collide. Fix case in which
239 rmmod can oops if done soon after last unmount. Fix truncated
240 search (readdir) output when resume filename was a long filename.
241 Fix filename conversion when mapchars mount option was specified and
242 filename was a long filename.
246 Fix error mapping of the TOO_MANY_LINKS (hardlinks) case.
247 Do not oops if root user kills cifs oplock kernel thread or
248 kills the cifsd thread (NB: killing the cifs kernel threads is not
249 recommended, unmount and rmmod cifs will kill them when they are
250 no longer needed). Fix readdir to ASCII servers (ie older servers
251 which do not support Unicode) and also require asterisk.
252 Fix out of memory case in which data could be written one page
253 off in the page cache.
257 Fix caching problem, in which readdir of directory containing a file
258 which was cached could cause the file's time stamp to be updated
259 without invalidating the readahead data (so we could get stale
260 file data on the client for that file even as the server copy changed).
261 Cleanup response processing so cifsd can not loop when abnormally
267 Fix oops in ls when Transact2 FindFirst (or FindNext) returns more than one
268 transact response for an SMB request and search entry split across two frames.
269 Add support for lsattr (getting ext2/ext3/reiserfs attr flags from the server)
270 as new protocol extensions. Do not send Get/Set calls for POSIX ACLs
271 unless server explicitly claims to support them in CIFS Unix extensions
272 POSIX ACL capability bit. Fix packet signing when multiuser mounting with
273 different users from the same client to the same server. Fix oops in
274 cifs_close. Add mount option for remapping reserved characters in
275 filenames (also allow recognizing files with created by SFU which have any
276 of these seven reserved characters, except backslash, to be recognized).
277 Fix invalid transact2 message (we were sometimes trying to interpret
278 oplock breaks as SMB responses). Add ioctl for checking that the
279 current uid matches the uid of the mounter (needed by umount.cifs).
280 Reduce the number of large buffer allocations in cifs response processing
281 (significantly reduces memory pressure under heavy stress with multiple
282 processes accessing the same server at the same time).
286 Fix updates of DOS attributes and time fields so that files on NT4 servers
287 do not get marked delete on close. Display sizes of cifs buffer pools in
288 cifs stats. Fix oops in unmount when cifsd thread being killed by
289 shutdown. Add generic readv/writev and aio support. Report inode numbers
290 consistently in readdir and lookup (when serverino mount option is
291 specified use the inode number that the server reports - for both lookup
292 and readdir, otherwise by default the locally generated inode number is used
293 for inodes created in either path since servers are not always able to
294 provide unique inode numbers when exporting multiple volumes from under one
299 Allow new nouser_xattr mount parm to disable xattr support for user namespace.
300 Do not flag user_xattr mount parm in dmesg. Retry failures setting file time
301 (mostly affects NT4 servers) by retry with handle based network operation.
302 Add new POSIX Query FS Info for returning statfs info more accurately.
303 Handle passwords with multiple commas in them.
307 Fix default mode in sysfs of cifs module parms. Remove old readdir routine.
308 Fix capabilities flags for large readx so as to allow reads larger than 64K.
312 Add module init parm for large SMB buffer size (to allow it to be changed
313 from its default of 16K) which is especially useful for large file copy
314 when mounting with the directio mount option. Fix oops after
315 returning from mount when experimental ExtendedSecurity enabled and
316 SpnegoNegotiated returning invalid error. Fix case to retry better when
317 peek returns from 1 to 3 bytes on socket which should have more data.
318 Fixed path based calls (such as cifs lookup) to handle path names
319 longer than 530 (now can handle PATH_MAX). Fix pass through authentication
320 from Samba server to DC (Samba required dummy LM password).
324 Turn off DNOTIFY (directory change notification support) by default
325 (unless built with the experimental flag) to fix hang with KDE
326 file browser. Fix DNOTIFY flag mappings. Fix hang (in wait_event
327 waiting on an SMB response) in SendReceive when session dies but
328 reconnects quickly from another task. Add module init parms for
329 minimum number of large and small network buffers in the buffer pools,
330 and for the maximum number of simultaneous requests.
334 Add setfacl support to allow setting of ACLs remotely to Samba 3.10 and later
335 and other POSIX CIFS compliant servers. Fix error mapping for getfacl
336 to EOPNOTSUPP when server does not support posix acls on the wire. Fix
337 improperly zeroed buffer in CIFS Unix extensions set times call.
341 Fix internationalization problem in cifs readdir with filenames that map to
342 longer UTF-8 strings than the string on the wire was in Unicode. Add workaround
343 for readdir to netapp servers. Fix search rewind (seek into readdir to return
344 non-consecutive entries). Do not do readdir when server negotiates
345 buffer size to small to fit filename. Add support for reading POSIX ACLs from
346 the server (add also acl and noacl mount options).
350 Optionally allow using server side inode numbers, rather than client generated
351 ones by specifying mount option "serverino" - this is required for some apps
352 to work which double check hardlinked files and have persistent inode numbers.
356 Multiple bigendian fixes. On little endian systems (for reconnect after
357 network failure) fix tcp session reconnect code so we do not try first
358 to reconnect on reverse of port 445. Treat reparse points (NTFS junctions)
359 as directories rather than symlinks because we can do follow link on them.
363 Add config option to enable XATTR (extended attribute) support, mapping
364 xattr names in the "user." namespace space to SMB/CIFS EAs. Lots of
365 minor fixes pointed out by the Stanford SWAT checker (mostly missing
366 or out of order NULL pointer checks in little used error paths).
370 Add new mount parm to control whether mode check (generic_permission) is done
371 on the client. If Unix extensions are enabled and the uids on the client
372 and server do not match, client permission checks are meaningless on
373 server uids that do not exist on the client (this does not affect the
374 normal ACL check which occurs on the server). Fix default uid
375 on mknod to match create and mkdir. Add optional mount parm to allow
376 override of the default uid behavior (in which the server sets the uid
377 and gid of newly created files). Normally for network filesystem mounts
378 user want the server to set the uid/gid on newly created files (rather than
379 using uid of the client processes you would in a local filesystem).
383 Make transaction counts more consistent. Merge /proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps
384 info into /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData. Fix oops in rare oops in readdir
385 (in build_wildcard_path_from_dentry). Fix mknod to pass type field
386 (block/char/fifo) properly. Remove spurious mount warning log entry when
387 credentials passed as mount argument. Set major/minor device number in
388 inode for block and char devices when unix extensions enabled.
392 Fix /proc/fs/cifs/Stats and DebugData display to handle larger
393 amounts of return data. Properly limit requests to MAX_REQ (50
394 is the usual maximum active multiplex SMB/CIFS requests per server).
395 Do not kill cifsd (and thus hurt the other SMB session) when more than one
396 session to the same server (but with different userids) exists and one
397 of the two user's smb sessions is being removed while leaving the other.
398 Do not loop reconnecting in cifsd demultiplex thread when admin
399 kills the thread without going through unmount.
403 Do not rename hardlinked files (since that should be a noop). Flush
404 cached write behind data when reopening a file after session abend,
405 except when already in write. Grab per socket sem during reconnect
406 to avoid oops in sendmsg if overlapping with reconnect. Do not
407 reset cached inode file size on readdir for files open for write on
413 Update number of blocks in file so du command is happier (in Linux a fake
414 blocksize of 512 is required for calculating number of blocks in inode).
415 Fix prepare write of partial pages to read in data from server if possible.
416 Fix race on tcpStatus field between unmount and reconnection code, causing
417 cifsd process sometimes to hang around forever. Improve out of memory
418 checks in cifs_filldir
422 Fix incorrect file size in file handle based setattr on big endian hardware.
423 Fix oops in build_path_from_dentry when out of memory. Add checks for invalid
424 and closing file structs in writepage/partialpagewrite. Add statistics
425 for each mounted share (new menuconfig option). Fix endianness problem in
426 volume information displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData (only affects
427 affects big endian architectures). Prevent renames while constructing
428 path names for open, mkdir and rmdir.
432 Change to mempools for alloc smb request buffers and multiplex structs
433 to better handle low memory problems (and potential deadlocks).
437 Fix incomplete listings of large directories on Samba servers when Unix
438 extensions enabled. Fix oops when smb_buffer can not be allocated. Fix
439 rename deadlock when writing out dirty pages at same time.
443 Fix open of files in which O_CREATE can cause the mode to change in
444 some cases. Fix case in which retry of write overlaps file close.
445 Fix PPC64 build error. Reduce excessive stack usage in smb password
446 hashing. Fix overwrite of Linux user's view of file mode to Windows servers.
450 Fixes for large file copy, signal handling, socket retry, buffer
451 allocation and low memory situations.
455 Better port 139 support to Windows servers (RFC1001/RFC1002 Session_Initialize)
456 also now allowing support for specifying client netbiosname. NT4 support added.
460 Fix reconnection (and certain failed mounts) to properly wake up the
461 blocked users thread so it does not seem hung (in some cases was blocked
462 until the cifs receive timeout expired). Fix spurious error logging
463 to kernel log when application with open network files killed.
467 Fix /proc/fs module unload warning message (that could be logged
468 to the kernel log). Fix intermittent failure in connectathon
469 test7 (hardlink count not immediately refreshed in case in which
470 inode metadata can be incorrectly kept cached when time near zero)
474 Allow file_mode and dir_mode (specified at mount time) to be enforced
475 locally (the server already enforced its own ACLs too) for servers
476 that do not report the correct mode (do not support the
477 CIFS Unix Extensions).
481 Fix some small memory leaks in some unmount error paths. Fix major leak
482 of cache pages in readpages causing multiple read oriented stress
483 testcases (including fsx, and even large file copy) to fail over time.
487 Send NTCreateX with ATTR_POSIX if Linux/Unix extensions negotiated with server.
488 This allows files that differ only in case and improves performance of file
489 creation and file open to such servers. Fix semaphore conflict which causes
490 slow delete of open file to Samba (which unfortunately can cause an oplock
491 break to self while vfs_unlink held i_sem) which can hang for 20 seconds.
495 fixes to cifs_readpages for fsx test case
499 Fix caching data integrity bug when extending file size especially when no
500 oplock on file. Fix spurious logging of valid already parsed mount options
501 that are parsed outside of the cifs vfs such as nosuid.
506 Connect to server when port number override not specified, and tcp port
507 unitialized. Reset search to restart at correct file when kernel routine
508 filldir returns error during large directory searches (readdir).
512 Fix caching problem when files opened by multiple clients in which
513 page cache could contain stale data, and write through did
514 not occur often enough while file was still open when read ahead
515 (read oplock) not allowed. Treat "sep=" when first mount option
516 as an override of comma as the default separator between mount
521 Allow passwords longer than 16 bytes. Allow null password string.
525 Gracefully clean up failed mounts when attempting to mount to servers such as
526 Windows 98 that terminate tcp sessions during protocol negotiation. Handle
527 embedded commas in mount parsing of passwords.
531 Invalidate local inode cached pages on oplock break and when last file
532 instance is closed so that the client does not continue using stale local
533 copy rather than later modified server copy of file. Do not reconnect
534 when server drops the tcp session prematurely before negotiate
535 protocol response. Fix oops in reopen_file when dentry freed. Allow
536 the support for CIFS Unix Extensions to be disabled via proc interface.
540 Fix hang in commit_write during reconnection of open files under heavy load.
541 Fix unload_nls oops in a mount failure path. Serialize writes to same socket
542 which also fixes any possible races when cifs signatures are enabled in SMBs
543 being sent out of signature sequence number order.
547 Fix byte range locking bug (endian problem) causing bad offset and
552 Fix oops (in send_sig) caused by CIFS unmount code trying to
553 wake up the demultiplex thread after it had exited. Do not log
554 error on harmless oplock release of closed handle.
558 Fix unsafe global variable usage and password hash failure on gcc 3.3.1
559 Fix problem reconnecting secondary mounts to same server after session
560 failure. Fix invalid dentry - race in mkdir when directory gets created
561 by another client between the lookup and mkdir.
565 Fix to list processing in reopen_files. Fix reconnection when server hung
566 but tcpip session still alive. Set proper timeout on socket read.
570 Add missing mount options including iocharset. SMP fixes in write and open.
571 Fix errors in reconnecting after TCP session failure. Fix module unloading
572 of default nls codepage
576 Active smb transactions should never go negative (fix double FreeXid). Fix
577 list processing in file routines. Check return code on kmalloc in open.
578 Fix spinlock usage for SMP.
582 Fix oops in reopen_files when invalid dentry. drop dentry on server rename
583 and on revalidate errors. Fix cases where pid is now tgid. Fix return code
584 on create hard link when server does not support them.
588 Fix scheduling while atomic error in getting inode info on newly created file.
589 Fix truncate of existing files opened with O_CREAT but not O_TRUNC set.
593 Fix oops on write to dead tcp session. Remove error log write for case when file open
594 O_CREAT but not O_EXCL
598 Fix non-POSIX behavior on rename of open file and delete of open file by taking
599 advantage of trans2 SetFileInfo rename facility if available on target server.
600 Retry on ENOSPC and EAGAIN socket errors.
604 Fix oops on big endian readdir. Set blksize to be even power of two (2**blkbits) to fix
605 allocation size miscalculation. After oplock token lost do not read through
610 Fix oops on empty file readahead. Fix for file size handling for locally cached files.
614 Fix oops in mkdir when server fails to return inode info. Fix oops in reopen_files
615 during auto reconnection to server after server recovered from failure.
619 Finish support for Linux 2.5 open/create changes, which removes the
620 redundant NTCreate/QPathInfo/close that was sent during file create.
621 Enable oplock by default. Enable packet signing by default (needed to
622 access many recent Windows servers)
626 Fix oops when mounting to long server names caused by inverted parms to kmalloc.
627 Fix MultiuserMount (/proc/fs/cifs configuration setting) so that when enabled
628 we will choose a cifs user session (smb uid) that better matches the local
629 uid if a) the mount uid does not match the current uid and b) we have another
630 session to the same server (ip address) for a different mount which
631 matches the current local uid.
635 Add support for mknod of block or character devices. Fix oplock
636 code (distributed caching) to properly send response to oplock
641 Finish up CIFS packet digital signing for the default
642 NTLM security case. This should help Windows 2003
643 network interoperability since it is common for
644 packet signing to be required now. Fix statfs (stat -f)
645 which recently started returning errors due to
646 invalid value (-1 instead of 0) being set in the
647 struct kstatfs f_ffiles field.
651 Fix oops on stopping oplock thread when removing cifs when
656 Fix mount options for ro (readonly), uid, gid and file and directory mode.
660 Fix errors displayed on failed mounts to be more understandable.
661 Fixed various incorrect or misleading smb to posix error code mappings.
665 Fix display of NTFS DFS junctions to display as symlinks.
666 They are the network equivalent. Fix oops in
667 cifs_partialpagewrite caused by missing spinlock protection
668 of openfile linked list. Allow writebehind caching errors to
669 be returned to the application at file close.
673 Clean up options displayed in /proc/mounts by show_options to
674 be more consistent with other filesystems.
678 Fix delete of readonly file to Windows servers. Reflect
679 presence or absence of read only dos attribute in mode
680 bits for servers that do not support CIFS Unix extensions.
681 Fix shortened results on readdir of large directories to
682 servers supporting CIFS Unix extensions (caused by
683 incorrect resume key).
687 Fix truncate bug (set file size) that could cause hangs e.g. running fsx
691 unload nls if mount fails.
695 Add resume key support to search (readdir) code to workaround
696 Windows bug. Add /proc/fs/cifs/LookupCacheEnable which
697 allows disabling caching of attribute information for
702 Add more oplock handling (distributed caching code). Remove
703 dead code. Remove excessive stack space utilization from
708 Fix oops in get dfs referral (triggered when null path sent in to
709 mount). Add support for overriding rsize at mount time.
713 Fix buffer overrun in readdir which caused intermittent kernel oopses.
714 Fix writepage code to release kmap on write data. Allow "-ip=" new
715 mount option to be passed in on parameter distinct from the first part
716 (server name portion of) the UNC name. Allow override of the
717 tcp port of the target server via new mount option "-port="
721 Fix search handle leak on rewind. Fix setuid and gid so that they are
722 reflected in the local inode immediately. Cleanup of whitespace
723 to make 2.4 and 2.5 versions more consistent.
728 Fix signal sending so that captive thread (cifsd) exits on umount
729 (which was causing the warning in kmem_cache_free of the request buffers
730 at rmmod time). This had broken as a sideeffect of the recent global
731 kernel change to daemonize. Fix memory leak in readdir code which
732 showed up in "ls -R" (and applications that did search rewinding).
736 Reconnect tids and fids after session reconnection (still do not
737 reconnect byte range locks though). Fix problem caching
738 lookup information for directory inodes, improving performance,
739 especially in deep directory trees. Fix various build warnings.
743 Finish fixes to commit write for caching/readahead consistency. fsx
744 now works to Samba servers. Fix oops caused when readahead
745 was interrupted by a signal.
749 Fix data corruption (in partial page after truncate) that caused fsx to
750 fail to Windows servers. Cleaned up some extraneous error logging in
751 common error paths. Add generic sendfile support.
755 Fix memory leak in AllocMidQEntry.
756 Finish reconnection logic, so connection with server can be dropped
757 (or server rebooted) and the cifs client will reconnect.
761 Fix temporary socket leak when bad userid or password specified
762 (or other SMBSessSetup failure). Increase maximum buffer size to slightly
763 over 16K to allow negotiation of up to Samba and Windows server default read
764 sizes. Add support for readpages
768 Fix oops when username not passed in on mount. Extensive fixes and improvements
769 to error logging (strip redundant newlines, change debug macros to ensure newline
770 passed in and to be more consistent). Fix writepage wrong file handle problem,
771 a readonly file handle could be incorrectly used to attempt to write out
772 file updates through the page cache to multiply open files. This could cause
773 the iozone benchmark to fail on the fwrite test. Fix bug mounting two different
774 shares to the same Windows server when using different usernames
775 (doing this to Samba servers worked but Windows was rejecting it) - now it is
776 possible to use different userids when connecting to the same server from a
777 Linux client. Fix oops when treeDisconnect called during unmount on
778 previously freed socket.
782 Fix oops in readpages caused by not setting address space operations in inode in
787 Includes support for deleting of open files and renaming over existing files (per POSIX
788 requirement). Add readlink support for Windows junction points (directory symlinks).
792 Changed read and write to go through pagecache. Added additional address space operations.
793 Memory mapped operations now working.
797 Added writepage code for additional memory mapping support. Fixed leak in xids causing
798 the simultaneous operations counter (/proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps) to increase on
799 every stat call. Additional formatting cleanup.
803 Fix bigendian bug in order of time conversion. Merge 2.5 to 2.4 version. Formatting cleanup.
807 Fixes from Zwane Mwaikambo for adding missing return code checking in a few places.
808 Also included a modified version of his fix to protect global list manipulation of
809 the smb session and tree connection and mid related global variables.
813 Fix problem with captive thread hanging around at unmount time. Adjust to 2.5.42-pre
814 changes to superblock layout. Remove wasteful allocation of smb buffers (now the send
815 buffer is reused for responses). Add more oplock handling. Additional minor cleanup.
819 More stylistic updates to better match kernel style. Add additional statistics
820 for filesystem which can be viewed via /proc/fs/cifs. Add more pieces of NTLMv2
821 and CIFS Packet Signing enablement.
825 Replace call to sleep_on with safer wait_on_event.
826 Make stylistic changes to better match kernel style recommendations.
827 Remove most typedef usage (except for the PDUs themselves).
831 Update mount so the -unc mount option is no longer required (the ip address can be specified
832 in a UNC style device name. Implementation of readpage/writepage started.
836 Fix intermittent problem with incorrect smb header checking on badly
837 fragmented tcp responses
841 Fixes to setting of allocation size and file size.
845 Various 2.5.38 fixes. Now works on 2.5.38
849 Prepare for 2.5 kernel merge. Remove ifdefs.
853 Socket buffer management fixes. Fix dual free.
857 Various big endian fixes for hardlinks and symlinks and also for dfs.
861 Various big endian fixes for servers with Unix extensions such as Samba
865 Various FindNext fixes for incorrect filenames on large directory searches on big endian
866 clients. basic posix file i/o tests now work on big endian machines, not just le
870 SessionSetup and NegotiateProtocol now work from Big Endian machines.
871 Various Big Endian fixes found during testing on the Linux on 390. Various fixes for compatibility with older
872 versions of 2.4 kernel (now builds and works again on kernels at least as early as 2.4.7).
876 Various minor fixes for Connectathon Posix "basic" file i/o test suite. Directory caching fixed so hardlinked
877 files now return the correct number of links on fstat as they are repeatedly linked and unlinked.
881 Implemented "Raw" (i.e. not encapsulated in SPNEGO) NTLMSSP (i.e. the Security Provider Interface used to negotiate
882 session advanced session authentication). Raw NTLMSSP is preferred by Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP.
883 Began implementing support for SPNEGO encapsulation of NTLMSSP based session authentication blobs
884 (which is the mechanism preferred by Windows 2000 server in the absence of Kerberos).
888 Introduced optional mount helper utility mount.cifs and made coreq changes to cifs vfs to enable
889 it. Fixed a few bugs in the DFS code (e.g. bcc two bytes too short and incorrect uid in PDU).
893 Rewrote much of connection and mount/unmount logic to handle bugs with
894 multiple uses to same share, multiple users to same server etc.
898 Fixed major problem with dentry corruption (missing call to dput)
902 Rewrite of readdir code to fix bug. Various fixes for bigendian machines.
903 Begin adding oplock support. Multiusermount and oplockEnabled flags added to /proc/fs/cifs
904 although corresponding function not fully implemented in the vfs yet
908 Fixed dentry caching bug, misc. cleanup
912 Fixed 2.5 support to handle build and configure changes as well as misc. 2.5 changes. Now can build
913 on current 2.5 beta version (2.5.24) of the Linux kernel as well as on 2.4 Linux kernels.
914 Support for STATUS codes (newer 32 bit NT error codes) added. DFS support begun to be added.
918 Unix extensions (symlink, readlink, hardlink, chmod and some chgrp and chown) implemented
919 and tested against Samba 2.2.5
924 1) Fixed lockrange to be correct (it was one byte too short)
926 2) Fixed GETLK (i.e. the fcntl call to test a range of bytes in a file to see if locked) to correctly
927 show range as locked when there is a conflict with an existing lock.
929 3) default file perms are now 2767 (indicating support for mandatory locks) instead of 777 for directories
930 in most cases. Eventually will offer optional ability to query server for the correct perms.
932 3) Fixed eventual trap when mounting twice to different shares on the same server when the first succeeded
933 but the second one was invalid and failed (the second one was incorrectly disconnecting the tcp and smb
936 4) Fixed error logging of valid mount options
938 5) Removed logging of password field.
940 6) Moved negotiate, treeDisconnect and uloggoffX (only tConx and SessSetup remain in connect.c) to cifssmb.c
941 and cleaned them up and made them more consistent with other cifs functions.
943 7) Server support for Unix extensions is now fully detected and FindFirst is implemented both ways
944 (with or without Unix extensions) but FindNext and QueryPathInfo with the Unix extensions are not completed,
945 nor is the symlink support using the Unix extensions
947 8) Started adding the readlink and follow_link code
