3 Fix NTLMv2 security (can be enabled in /proc/fs/cifs) so customers can
4 configure stronger authentication. Fix sfu symlinks so they can
5 be followed (not just recognized). Fix wraparound of bcc on
6 read responses when buffer size over 64K and also fix wrap of
7 max smb buffer size when CIFSMaxBufSize over 64K. Fix oops in
8 cifs_user_read and cifs_readpages (when EAGAIN on send of smb
9 on socket is returned over and over). Add POSIX (advisory) byte range
10 locking support (requires server with newest CIFS UNIX Extensions
11 to the protocol implemented). Slow down negprot slightly in port 139
12 RFC1001 case to give session_init time on buggy servers.
16 Use fsuid (fsgid) more consistently instead of uid (gid). Improve performance
17 of readpages by eliminating one extra memcpy. Allow update of file size
18 from remote server even if file is open for write as long as mount is
19 directio. Recognize share mode security and send NTLM encrypted password
20 on tree connect if share mode negotiated.
24 Defer close of a file handle slightly if pending writes depend on that handle
25 (this reduces the EBADF bad file handle errors that can be logged under heavy
26 stress on writes). Modify cifs Kconfig options to expose CONFIG_CIFS_STATS2
27 Fix SFU style symlinks and mknod needed for servers which do not support the
28 CIFS Unix Extensions. Fix setfacl/getfacl on bigendian. Timeout negative
29 dentries so files that the client sees as deleted but that later get created
30 on the server will be recognized. Add client side permission check on setattr.
31 Timeout stuck requests better (where server has never responded or sent corrupt
36 Fix tcp socket retransmission timeouts (e.g. on ENOSPACE from the socket)
37 to be smaller at first (but increasing) so large write performance performance
38 over GigE is better. Do not hang thread on illegal byte range lock response
39 from Windows (Windows can send an RFC1001 size which does not match smb size) by
40 allowing an SMBs TCP length to be up to a few bytes longer than it should be.
41 wsize and rsize can now be larger than negotiated buffer size if server
42 supports large readx/writex, even when directio mount flag not specified.
43 Write size will in many cases now be 16K instead of 4K which greatly helps
44 file copy performance on lightly loaded networks. Fix oops in dnotify
45 when experimental config flag enabled. Make cifsFYI more granular.
49 Fix readdir caching when unlink removes file in current search buffer,
50 and this is followed by a rewind search to just before the deleted entry.
51 Do not attempt to set ctime unless atime and/or mtime change requested
52 (most servers throw it away anyway). Fix length check of received smbs
53 to be more accurate. Fix big endian problem with mapchars mount option,
54 and with a field returned by statfs.
58 Add support for mounting to older pre-CIFS servers such as Windows9x and ME.
59 For these older servers, add option for passing netbios name of server in
60 on mount (servernetbiosname). Add suspend support for power management, to
61 avoid cifsd thread preventing software suspend from working.
62 Add mount option for disabling the default behavior of sending byte range lock
63 requests to the server (necessary for certain applications which break with
64 mandatory lock behavior such as Evolution), and also mount option for
65 requesting case insensitive matching for path based requests (requesting
66 case sensitive is the default).
70 Add writepage performance improvements. Fix path name conversions
71 for long filenames on mounts which were done with "mapchars" mount option
72 specified. Ensure multiplex ids do not collide. Fix case in which
73 rmmod can oops if done soon after last unmount. Fix truncated
74 search (readdir) output when resume filename was a long filename.
75 Fix filename conversion when mapchars mount option was specified and
76 filename was a long filename.
80 Fix error mapping of the TOO_MANY_LINKS (hardlinks) case.
81 Do not oops if root user kills cifs oplock kernel thread or
82 kills the cifsd thread (NB: killing the cifs kernel threads is not
83 recommended, unmount and rmmod cifs will kill them when they are
84 no longer needed). Fix readdir to ASCII servers (ie older servers
85 which do not support Unicode) and also require asterisk.
86 Fix out of memory case in which data could be written one page
87 off in the page cache.
91 Fix caching problem, in which readdir of directory containing a file
92 which was cached could cause the file's time stamp to be updated
93 without invalidating the readahead data (so we could get stale
94 file data on the client for that file even as the server copy changed).
95 Cleanup response processing so cifsd can not loop when abnormally
101 Fix oops in ls when Transact2 FindFirst (or FindNext) returns more than one
102 transact response for an SMB request and search entry split across two frames.
103 Add support for lsattr (getting ext2/ext3/reiserfs attr flags from the server)
104 as new protocol extensions. Do not send Get/Set calls for POSIX ACLs
105 unless server explicitly claims to support them in CIFS Unix extensions
106 POSIX ACL capability bit. Fix packet signing when multiuser mounting with
107 different users from the same client to the same server. Fix oops in
108 cifs_close. Add mount option for remapping reserved characters in
109 filenames (also allow recognizing files with created by SFU which have any
110 of these seven reserved characters, except backslash, to be recognized).
111 Fix invalid transact2 message (we were sometimes trying to interpret
112 oplock breaks as SMB responses). Add ioctl for checking that the
113 current uid matches the uid of the mounter (needed by umount.cifs).
114 Reduce the number of large buffer allocations in cifs response processing
115 (significantly reduces memory pressure under heavy stress with multiple
116 processes accessing the same server at the same time).
120 Fix updates of DOS attributes and time fields so that files on NT4 servers
121 do not get marked delete on close. Display sizes of cifs buffer pools in
122 cifs stats. Fix oops in unmount when cifsd thread being killed by
123 shutdown. Add generic readv/writev and aio support. Report inode numbers
124 consistently in readdir and lookup (when serverino mount option is
125 specified use the inode number that the server reports - for both lookup
126 and readdir, otherwise by default the locally generated inode number is used
127 for inodes created in either path since servers are not always able to
128 provide unique inode numbers when exporting multiple volumes from under one
133 Allow new nouser_xattr mount parm to disable xattr support for user namespace.
134 Do not flag user_xattr mount parm in dmesg. Retry failures setting file time
135 (mostly affects NT4 servers) by retry with handle based network operation.
136 Add new POSIX Query FS Info for returning statfs info more accurately.
137 Handle passwords with multiple commas in them.
141 Fix default mode in sysfs of cifs module parms. Remove old readdir routine.
142 Fix capabilities flags for large readx so as to allow reads larger than 64K.
146 Add module init parm for large SMB buffer size (to allow it to be changed
147 from its default of 16K) which is especially useful for large file copy
148 when mounting with the directio mount option. Fix oops after
149 returning from mount when experimental ExtendedSecurity enabled and
150 SpnegoNegotiated returning invalid error. Fix case to retry better when
151 peek returns from 1 to 3 bytes on socket which should have more data.
152 Fixed path based calls (such as cifs lookup) to handle path names
153 longer than 530 (now can handle PATH_MAX). Fix pass through authentication
154 from Samba server to DC (Samba required dummy LM password).
158 Turn off DNOTIFY (directory change notification support) by default
159 (unless built with the experimental flag) to fix hang with KDE
160 file browser. Fix DNOTIFY flag mappings. Fix hang (in wait_event
161 waiting on an SMB response) in SendReceive when session dies but
162 reconnects quickly from another task. Add module init parms for
163 minimum number of large and small network buffers in the buffer pools,
164 and for the maximum number of simultaneous requests.
168 Add setfacl support to allow setting of ACLs remotely to Samba 3.10 and later
169 and other POSIX CIFS compliant servers. Fix error mapping for getfacl
170 to EOPNOTSUPP when server does not support posix acls on the wire. Fix
171 improperly zeroed buffer in CIFS Unix extensions set times call.
175 Fix internationalization problem in cifs readdir with filenames that map to
176 longer UTF8 strings than the string on the wire was in Unicode. Add workaround
177 for readdir to netapp servers. Fix search rewind (seek into readdir to return
178 non-consecutive entries). Do not do readdir when server negotiates
179 buffer size to small to fit filename. Add support for reading POSIX ACLs from
180 the server (add also acl and noacl mount options).
184 Optionally allow using server side inode numbers, rather than client generated
185 ones by specifying mount option "serverino" - this is required for some apps
186 to work which double check hardlinked files and have persistent inode numbers.
190 Multiple bigendian fixes. On little endian systems (for reconnect after
191 network failure) fix tcp session reconnect code so we do not try first
192 to reconnect on reverse of port 445. Treat reparse points (NTFS junctions)
193 as directories rather than symlinks because we can do follow link on them.
197 Add config option to enable XATTR (extended attribute) support, mapping
198 xattr names in the "user." namespace space to SMB/CIFS EAs. Lots of
199 minor fixes pointed out by the Stanford SWAT checker (mostly missing
200 or out of order NULL pointer checks in little used error paths).
204 Add new mount parm to control whether mode check (generic_permission) is done
205 on the client. If Unix extensions are enabled and the uids on the client
206 and server do not match, client permission checks are meaningless on
207 server uids that do not exist on the client (this does not affect the
208 normal ACL check which occurs on the server). Fix default uid
209 on mknod to match create and mkdir. Add optional mount parm to allow
210 override of the default uid behavior (in which the server sets the uid
211 and gid of newly created files). Normally for network filesystem mounts
212 user want the server to set the uid/gid on newly created files (rather than
213 using uid of the client processes you would in a local filesystem).
217 Make transaction counts more consistent. Merge /proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps
218 info into /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData. Fix oops in rare oops in readdir
219 (in build_wildcard_path_from_dentry). Fix mknod to pass type field
220 (block/char/fifo) properly. Remove spurious mount warning log entry when
221 credentials passed as mount argument. Set major/minor device number in
222 inode for block and char devices when unix extensions enabled.
226 Fix /proc/fs/cifs/Stats and DebugData display to handle larger
227 amounts of return data. Properly limit requests to MAX_REQ (50
228 is the usual maximum active multiplex SMB/CIFS requests per server).
229 Do not kill cifsd (and thus hurt the other SMB session) when more than one
230 session to the same server (but with different userids) exists and one
231 of the two user's smb sessions is being removed while leaving the other.
232 Do not loop reconnecting in cifsd demultiplex thread when admin
233 kills the thread without going through unmount.
237 Do not rename hardlinked files (since that should be a noop). Flush
238 cached write behind data when reopening a file after session abend,
239 except when already in write. Grab per socket sem during reconnect
240 to avoid oops in sendmsg if overlapping with reconnect. Do not
241 reset cached inode file size on readdir for files open for write on
247 Update number of blocks in file so du command is happier (in Linux a fake
248 blocksize of 512 is required for calculating number of blocks in inode).
249 Fix prepare write of partial pages to read in data from server if possible.
250 Fix race on tcpStatus field between unmount and reconnection code, causing
251 cifsd process sometimes to hang around forever. Improve out of memory
252 checks in cifs_filldir
256 Fix incorrect file size in file handle based setattr on big endian hardware.
257 Fix oops in build_path_from_dentry when out of memory. Add checks for invalid
258 and closing file structs in writepage/partialpagewrite. Add statistics
259 for each mounted share (new menuconfig option). Fix endianness problem in
260 volume information displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData (only affects
261 affects big endian architectures). Prevent renames while constructing
262 path names for open, mkdir and rmdir.
266 Change to mempools for alloc smb request buffers and multiplex structs
267 to better handle low memory problems (and potential deadlocks).
271 Fix incomplete listings of large directories on Samba servers when Unix
272 extensions enabled. Fix oops when smb_buffer can not be allocated. Fix
273 rename deadlock when writing out dirty pages at same time.
277 Fix open of files in which O_CREATE can cause the mode to change in
278 some cases. Fix case in which retry of write overlaps file close.
279 Fix PPC64 build error. Reduce excessive stack usage in smb password
280 hashing. Fix overwrite of Linux user's view of file mode to Windows servers.
284 Fixes for large file copy, signal handling, socket retry, buffer
285 allocation and low memory situations.
289 Better port 139 support to Windows servers (RFC1001/RFC1002 Session_Initialize)
290 also now allowing support for specifying client netbiosname. NT4 support added.
294 Fix reconnection (and certain failed mounts) to properly wake up the
295 blocked users thread so it does not seem hung (in some cases was blocked
296 until the cifs receive timeout expired). Fix spurious error logging
297 to kernel log when application with open network files killed.
301 Fix /proc/fs module unload warning message (that could be logged
302 to the kernel log). Fix intermittent failure in connectathon
303 test7 (hardlink count not immediately refreshed in case in which
304 inode metadata can be incorrectly kept cached when time near zero)
308 Allow file_mode and dir_mode (specified at mount time) to be enforced
309 locally (the server already enforced its own ACLs too) for servers
310 that do not report the correct mode (do not support the
311 CIFS Unix Extensions).
315 Fix some small memory leaks in some unmount error paths. Fix major leak
316 of cache pages in readpages causing multiple read oriented stress
317 testcases (including fsx, and even large file copy) to fail over time.
321 Send NTCreateX with ATTR_POSIX if Linux/Unix extensions negotiated with server.
322 This allows files that differ only in case and improves performance of file
323 creation and file open to such servers. Fix semaphore conflict which causes
324 slow delete of open file to Samba (which unfortunately can cause an oplock
325 break to self while vfs_unlink held i_sem) which can hang for 20 seconds.
329 fixes to cifs_readpages for fsx test case
333 Fix caching data integrity bug when extending file size especially when no
334 oplock on file. Fix spurious logging of valid already parsed mount options
335 that are parsed outside of the cifs vfs such as nosuid.
340 Connect to server when port number override not specified, and tcp port
341 unitialized. Reset search to restart at correct file when kernel routine
342 filldir returns error during large directory searches (readdir).
346 Fix caching problem when files opened by multiple clients in which
347 page cache could contain stale data, and write through did
348 not occur often enough while file was still open when read ahead
349 (read oplock) not allowed. Treat "sep=" when first mount option
350 as an override of comma as the default separator between mount
355 Allow passwords longer than 16 bytes. Allow null password string.
359 Gracefully clean up failed mounts when attempting to mount to servers such as
360 Windows 98 that terminate tcp sessions during protocol negotiation. Handle
361 embedded commas in mount parsing of passwords.
365 Invalidate local inode cached pages on oplock break and when last file
366 instance is closed so that the client does not continue using stale local
367 copy rather than later modified server copy of file. Do not reconnect
368 when server drops the tcp session prematurely before negotiate
369 protocol response. Fix oops in reopen_file when dentry freed. Allow
370 the support for CIFS Unix Extensions to be disabled via proc interface.
374 Fix hang in commit_write during reconnection of open files under heavy load.
375 Fix unload_nls oops in a mount failure path. Serialize writes to same socket
376 which also fixes any possible races when cifs signatures are enabled in SMBs
377 being sent out of signature sequence number order.
381 Fix byte range locking bug (endian problem) causing bad offset and
386 Fix oops (in send_sig) caused by CIFS unmount code trying to
387 wake up the demultiplex thread after it had exited. Do not log
388 error on harmless oplock release of closed handle.
392 Fix unsafe global variable usage and password hash failure on gcc 3.3.1
393 Fix problem reconnecting secondary mounts to same server after session
394 failure. Fix invalid dentry - race in mkdir when directory gets created
395 by another client between the lookup and mkdir.
399 Fix to list processing in reopen_files. Fix reconnection when server hung
400 but tcpip session still alive. Set proper timeout on socket read.
404 Add missing mount options including iocharset. SMP fixes in write and open.
405 Fix errors in reconnecting after TCP session failure. Fix module unloading
406 of default nls codepage
410 Active smb transactions should never go negative (fix double FreeXid). Fix
411 list processing in file routines. Check return code on kmalloc in open.
412 Fix spinlock usage for SMP.
416 Fix oops in reopen_files when invalid dentry. drop dentry on server rename
417 and on revalidate errors. Fix cases where pid is now tgid. Fix return code
418 on create hard link when server does not support them.
422 Fix scheduling while atomic error in getting inode info on newly created file.
423 Fix truncate of existing files opened with O_CREAT but not O_TRUNC set.
427 Fix oops on write to dead tcp session. Remove error log write for case when file open
428 O_CREAT but not O_EXCL
432 Fix non-POSIX behavior on rename of open file and delete of open file by taking
433 advantage of trans2 SetFileInfo rename facility if available on target server.
434 Retry on ENOSPC and EAGAIN socket errors.
438 Fix oops on big endian readdir. Set blksize to be even power of two (2**blkbits) to fix
439 allocation size miscalculation. After oplock token lost do not read through
444 Fix oops on empty file readahead. Fix for file size handling for locally cached files.
448 Fix oops in mkdir when server fails to return inode info. Fix oops in reopen_files
449 during auto reconnection to server after server recovered from failure.
453 Finish support for Linux 2.5 open/create changes, which removes the
454 redundant NTCreate/QPathInfo/close that was sent during file create.
455 Enable oplock by default. Enable packet signing by default (needed to
456 access many recent Windows servers)
460 Fix oops when mounting to long server names caused by inverted parms to kmalloc.
461 Fix MultiuserMount (/proc/fs/cifs configuration setting) so that when enabled
462 we will choose a cifs user session (smb uid) that better matches the local
463 uid if a) the mount uid does not match the current uid and b) we have another
464 session to the same server (ip address) for a different mount which
465 matches the current local uid.
469 Add support for mknod of block or character devices. Fix oplock
470 code (distributed caching) to properly send response to oplock
475 Finish up CIFS packet digital signing for the default
476 NTLM security case. This should help Windows 2003
477 network interoperability since it is common for
478 packet signing to be required now. Fix statfs (stat -f)
479 which recently started returning errors due to
480 invalid value (-1 instead of 0) being set in the
481 struct kstatfs f_ffiles field.
485 Fix oops on stopping oplock thread when removing cifs when
490 Fix mount options for ro (readonly), uid, gid and file and directory mode.
494 Fix errors displayed on failed mounts to be more understandable.
495 Fixed various incorrect or misleading smb to posix error code mappings.
499 Fix display of NTFS DFS junctions to display as symlinks.
500 They are the network equivalent. Fix oops in
501 cifs_partialpagewrite caused by missing spinlock protection
502 of openfile linked list. Allow writebehind caching errors to
503 be returned to the application at file close.
507 Clean up options displayed in /proc/mounts by show_options to
508 be more consistent with other filesystems.
512 Fix delete of readonly file to Windows servers. Reflect
513 presence or absence of read only dos attribute in mode
514 bits for servers that do not support CIFS Unix extensions.
515 Fix shortened results on readdir of large directories to
516 servers supporting CIFS Unix extensions (caused by
517 incorrect resume key).
521 Fix truncate bug (set file size) that could cause hangs e.g. running fsx
525 unload nls if mount fails.
529 Add resume key support to search (readdir) code to workaround
530 Windows bug. Add /proc/fs/cifs/LookupCacheEnable which
531 allows disabling caching of attribute information for
536 Add more oplock handling (distributed caching code). Remove
537 dead code. Remove excessive stack space utilization from
542 Fix oops in get dfs referral (triggered when null path sent in to
543 mount). Add support for overriding rsize at mount time.
547 Fix buffer overrun in readdir which caused intermittent kernel oopses.
548 Fix writepage code to release kmap on write data. Allow "-ip=" new
549 mount option to be passed in on parameter distinct from the first part
550 (server name portion of) the UNC name. Allow override of the
551 tcp port of the target server via new mount option "-port="
555 Fix search handle leak on rewind. Fix setuid and gid so that they are
556 reflected in the local inode immediately. Cleanup of whitespace
557 to make 2.4 and 2.5 versions more consistent.
562 Fix signal sending so that captive thread (cifsd) exits on umount
563 (which was causing the warning in kmem_cache_free of the request buffers
564 at rmmod time). This had broken as a sideeffect of the recent global
565 kernel change to daemonize. Fix memory leak in readdir code which
566 showed up in "ls -R" (and applications that did search rewinding).
570 Reconnect tids and fids after session reconnection (still do not
571 reconnect byte range locks though). Fix problem caching
572 lookup information for directory inodes, improving performance,
573 especially in deep directory trees. Fix various build warnings.
577 Finish fixes to commit write for caching/readahead consistency. fsx
578 now works to Samba servers. Fix oops caused when readahead
579 was interrupted by a signal.
583 Fix data corruption (in partial page after truncate) that caused fsx to
584 fail to Windows servers. Cleaned up some extraneous error logging in
585 common error paths. Add generic sendfile support.
589 Fix memory leak in AllocMidQEntry.
590 Finish reconnection logic, so connection with server can be dropped
591 (or server rebooted) and the cifs client will reconnect.
595 Fix temporary socket leak when bad userid or password specified
596 (or other SMBSessSetup failure). Increase maximum buffer size to slightly
597 over 16K to allow negotiation of up to Samba and Windows server default read
598 sizes. Add support for readpages
602 Fix oops when username not passed in on mount. Extensive fixes and improvements
603 to error logging (strip redundant newlines, change debug macros to ensure newline
604 passed in and to be more consistent). Fix writepage wrong file handle problem,
605 a readonly file handle could be incorrectly used to attempt to write out
606 file updates through the page cache to multiply open files. This could cause
607 the iozone benchmark to fail on the fwrite test. Fix bug mounting two different
608 shares to the same Windows server when using different usernames
609 (doing this to Samba servers worked but Windows was rejecting it) - now it is
610 possible to use different userids when connecting to the same server from a
611 Linux client. Fix oops when treeDisconnect called during unmount on
612 previously freed socket.
616 Fix oops in readpages caused by not setting address space operations in inode in
621 Includes support for deleting of open files and renaming over existing files (per POSIX
622 requirement). Add readlink support for Windows junction points (directory symlinks).
626 Changed read and write to go through pagecache. Added additional address space operations.
627 Memory mapped operations now working.
631 Added writepage code for additional memory mapping support. Fixed leak in xids causing
632 the simultaneous operations counter (/proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps) to increase on
633 every stat call. Additional formatting cleanup.
637 Fix bigendian bug in order of time conversion. Merge 2.5 to 2.4 version. Formatting cleanup.
641 Fixes from Zwane Mwaikambo for adding missing return code checking in a few places.
642 Also included a modified version of his fix to protect global list manipulation of
643 the smb session and tree connection and mid related global variables.
647 Fix problem with captive thread hanging around at unmount time. Adjust to 2.5.42-pre
648 changes to superblock layout. Remove wasteful allocation of smb buffers (now the send
649 buffer is reused for responses). Add more oplock handling. Additional minor cleanup.
653 More stylistic updates to better match kernel style. Add additional statistics
654 for filesystem which can be viewed via /proc/fs/cifs. Add more pieces of NTLMv2
655 and CIFS Packet Signing enablement.
659 Replace call to sleep_on with safer wait_on_event.
660 Make stylistic changes to better match kernel style recommendations.
661 Remove most typedef usage (except for the PDUs themselves).
665 Update mount so the -unc mount option is no longer required (the ip address can be specified
666 in a UNC style device name. Implementation of readpage/writepage started.
670 Fix intermittent problem with incorrect smb header checking on badly
671 fragmented tcp responses
675 Fixes to setting of allocation size and file size.
679 Various 2.5.38 fixes. Now works on 2.5.38
683 Prepare for 2.5 kernel merge. Remove ifdefs.
687 Socket buffer management fixes. Fix dual free.
691 Various big endian fixes for hardlinks and symlinks and also for dfs.
695 Various big endian fixes for servers with Unix extensions such as Samba
699 Various FindNext fixes for incorrect filenames on large directory searches on big endian
700 clients. basic posix file i/o tests now work on big endian machines, not just le
704 SessionSetup and NegotiateProtocol now work from Big Endian machines.
705 Various Big Endian fixes found during testing on the Linux on 390. Various fixes for compatibility with older
706 versions of 2.4 kernel (now builds and works again on kernels at least as early as 2.4.7).
710 Various minor fixes for Connectathon Posix "basic" file i/o test suite. Directory caching fixed so hardlinked
711 files now return the correct number of links on fstat as they are repeatedly linked and unlinked.
715 Implemented "Raw" (i.e. not encapsulated in SPNEGO) NTLMSSP (i.e. the Security Provider Interface used to negotiate
716 session advanced session authentication). Raw NTLMSSP is preferred by Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP.
717 Began implementing support for SPNEGO encapsulation of NTLMSSP based session authentication blobs
718 (which is the mechanism preferred by Windows 2000 server in the absence of Kerberos).
722 Introduced optional mount helper utility mount.cifs and made coreq changes to cifs vfs to enable
723 it. Fixed a few bugs in the DFS code (e.g. bcc two bytes too short and incorrect uid in PDU).
727 Rewrote much of connection and mount/unmount logic to handle bugs with
728 multiple uses to same share, multiple users to same server etc.
732 Fixed major problem with dentry corruption (missing call to dput)
736 Rewrite of readdir code to fix bug. Various fixes for bigendian machines.
737 Begin adding oplock support. Multiusermount and oplockEnabled flags added to /proc/fs/cifs
738 although corresponding function not fully implemented in the vfs yet
742 Fixed dentry caching bug, misc. cleanup
746 Fixed 2.5 support to handle build and configure changes as well as misc. 2.5 changes. Now can build
747 on current 2.5 beta version (2.5.24) of the Linux kernel as well as on 2.4 Linux kernels.
748 Support for STATUS codes (newer 32 bit NT error codes) added. DFS support begun to be added.
752 Unix extensions (symlink, readlink, hardlink, chmod and some chgrp and chown) implemented
753 and tested against Samba 2.2.5
758 1) Fixed lockrange to be correct (it was one byte too short)
760 2) Fixed GETLK (i.e. the fcntl call to test a range of bytes in a file to see if locked) to correctly
761 show range as locked when there is a conflict with an existing lock.
763 3) default file perms are now 2767 (indicating support for mandatory locks) instead of 777 for directories
764 in most cases. Eventually will offer optional ability to query server for the correct perms.
766 3) Fixed eventual trap when mounting twice to different shares on the same server when the first succeeded
767 but the second one was invalid and failed (the second one was incorrectly disconnecting the tcp and smb
770 4) Fixed error logging of valid mount options
772 5) Removed logging of password field.
774 6) Moved negotiate, treeDisconnect and uloggoffX (only tConx and SessSetup remain in connect.c) to cifssmb.c
775 and cleaned them up and made them more consistent with other cifs functions.
777 7) Server support for Unix extensions is now fully detected and FindFirst is implemented both ways
778 (with or without Unix extensions) but FindNext and QueryPathInfo with the Unix extensions are not completed,
779 nor is the symlink support using the Unix extensions
781 8) Started adding the readlink and follow_link code
