3 POSIX locking to servers which support CIFS POSIX Extensions
4 (disabled by default controlled by proc/fs/cifs/Experimental).
5 Handle conversion of long share names (especially Asian languages)
6 to Unicode during mount. Fix memory leak in sess struct on reconnect.
7 Fix rare oops after acpi suspend. Fix O_TRUNC opens to overwrite on
8 cifs open which helps rare case when setpathinfo fails or server does
13 Fix slow oplock break when mounted to different servers at the same time and
14 the tids match and we try to find matching fid on wrong server. Fix read
15 looping when signing required by server (2.6.16 kernel only). Fix readdir
16 vs. rename race which could cause each to hang. Return . and .. even
17 if server does not. Allow searches to skip first three entries and
18 begin at any location. Fix oops in find_writeable_file.
22 Fix NTLMv2 security (can be enabled in /proc/fs/cifs) so customers can
23 configure stronger authentication. Fix sfu symlinks so they can
24 be followed (not just recognized). Fix wraparound of bcc on
25 read responses when buffer size over 64K and also fix wrap of
26 max smb buffer size when CIFSMaxBufSize over 64K. Fix oops in
27 cifs_user_read and cifs_readpages (when EAGAIN on send of smb
28 on socket is returned over and over). Add POSIX (advisory) byte range
29 locking support (requires server with newest CIFS UNIX Extensions
30 to the protocol implemented). Slow down negprot slightly in port 139
31 RFC1001 case to give session_init time on buggy servers.
35 Use fsuid (fsgid) more consistently instead of uid (gid). Improve performance
36 of readpages by eliminating one extra memcpy. Allow update of file size
37 from remote server even if file is open for write as long as mount is
38 directio. Recognize share mode security and send NTLM encrypted password
39 on tree connect if share mode negotiated.
43 Defer close of a file handle slightly if pending writes depend on that handle
44 (this reduces the EBADF bad file handle errors that can be logged under heavy
45 stress on writes). Modify cifs Kconfig options to expose CONFIG_CIFS_STATS2
46 Fix SFU style symlinks and mknod needed for servers which do not support the
47 CIFS Unix Extensions. Fix setfacl/getfacl on bigendian. Timeout negative
48 dentries so files that the client sees as deleted but that later get created
49 on the server will be recognized. Add client side permission check on setattr.
50 Timeout stuck requests better (where server has never responded or sent corrupt
55 Fix tcp socket retransmission timeouts (e.g. on ENOSPACE from the socket)
56 to be smaller at first (but increasing) so large write performance performance
57 over GigE is better. Do not hang thread on illegal byte range lock response
58 from Windows (Windows can send an RFC1001 size which does not match smb size) by
59 allowing an SMBs TCP length to be up to a few bytes longer than it should be.
60 wsize and rsize can now be larger than negotiated buffer size if server
61 supports large readx/writex, even when directio mount flag not specified.
62 Write size will in many cases now be 16K instead of 4K which greatly helps
63 file copy performance on lightly loaded networks. Fix oops in dnotify
64 when experimental config flag enabled. Make cifsFYI more granular.
68 Fix readdir caching when unlink removes file in current search buffer,
69 and this is followed by a rewind search to just before the deleted entry.
70 Do not attempt to set ctime unless atime and/or mtime change requested
71 (most servers throw it away anyway). Fix length check of received smbs
72 to be more accurate. Fix big endian problem with mapchars mount option,
73 and with a field returned by statfs.
77 Add support for mounting to older pre-CIFS servers such as Windows9x and ME.
78 For these older servers, add option for passing netbios name of server in
79 on mount (servernetbiosname). Add suspend support for power management, to
80 avoid cifsd thread preventing software suspend from working.
81 Add mount option for disabling the default behavior of sending byte range lock
82 requests to the server (necessary for certain applications which break with
83 mandatory lock behavior such as Evolution), and also mount option for
84 requesting case insensitive matching for path based requests (requesting
85 case sensitive is the default).
89 Add writepage performance improvements. Fix path name conversions
90 for long filenames on mounts which were done with "mapchars" mount option
91 specified. Ensure multiplex ids do not collide. Fix case in which
92 rmmod can oops if done soon after last unmount. Fix truncated
93 search (readdir) output when resume filename was a long filename.
94 Fix filename conversion when mapchars mount option was specified and
95 filename was a long filename.
99 Fix error mapping of the TOO_MANY_LINKS (hardlinks) case.
100 Do not oops if root user kills cifs oplock kernel thread or
101 kills the cifsd thread (NB: killing the cifs kernel threads is not
102 recommended, unmount and rmmod cifs will kill them when they are
103 no longer needed). Fix readdir to ASCII servers (ie older servers
104 which do not support Unicode) and also require asterisk.
105 Fix out of memory case in which data could be written one page
106 off in the page cache.
110 Fix caching problem, in which readdir of directory containing a file
111 which was cached could cause the file's time stamp to be updated
112 without invalidating the readahead data (so we could get stale
113 file data on the client for that file even as the server copy changed).
114 Cleanup response processing so cifsd can not loop when abnormally
120 Fix oops in ls when Transact2 FindFirst (or FindNext) returns more than one
121 transact response for an SMB request and search entry split across two frames.
122 Add support for lsattr (getting ext2/ext3/reiserfs attr flags from the server)
123 as new protocol extensions. Do not send Get/Set calls for POSIX ACLs
124 unless server explicitly claims to support them in CIFS Unix extensions
125 POSIX ACL capability bit. Fix packet signing when multiuser mounting with
126 different users from the same client to the same server. Fix oops in
127 cifs_close. Add mount option for remapping reserved characters in
128 filenames (also allow recognizing files with created by SFU which have any
129 of these seven reserved characters, except backslash, to be recognized).
130 Fix invalid transact2 message (we were sometimes trying to interpret
131 oplock breaks as SMB responses). Add ioctl for checking that the
132 current uid matches the uid of the mounter (needed by umount.cifs).
133 Reduce the number of large buffer allocations in cifs response processing
134 (significantly reduces memory pressure under heavy stress with multiple
135 processes accessing the same server at the same time).
139 Fix updates of DOS attributes and time fields so that files on NT4 servers
140 do not get marked delete on close. Display sizes of cifs buffer pools in
141 cifs stats. Fix oops in unmount when cifsd thread being killed by
142 shutdown. Add generic readv/writev and aio support. Report inode numbers
143 consistently in readdir and lookup (when serverino mount option is
144 specified use the inode number that the server reports - for both lookup
145 and readdir, otherwise by default the locally generated inode number is used
146 for inodes created in either path since servers are not always able to
147 provide unique inode numbers when exporting multiple volumes from under one
152 Allow new nouser_xattr mount parm to disable xattr support for user namespace.
153 Do not flag user_xattr mount parm in dmesg. Retry failures setting file time
154 (mostly affects NT4 servers) by retry with handle based network operation.
155 Add new POSIX Query FS Info for returning statfs info more accurately.
156 Handle passwords with multiple commas in them.
160 Fix default mode in sysfs of cifs module parms. Remove old readdir routine.
161 Fix capabilities flags for large readx so as to allow reads larger than 64K.
165 Add module init parm for large SMB buffer size (to allow it to be changed
166 from its default of 16K) which is especially useful for large file copy
167 when mounting with the directio mount option. Fix oops after
168 returning from mount when experimental ExtendedSecurity enabled and
169 SpnegoNegotiated returning invalid error. Fix case to retry better when
170 peek returns from 1 to 3 bytes on socket which should have more data.
171 Fixed path based calls (such as cifs lookup) to handle path names
172 longer than 530 (now can handle PATH_MAX). Fix pass through authentication
173 from Samba server to DC (Samba required dummy LM password).
177 Turn off DNOTIFY (directory change notification support) by default
178 (unless built with the experimental flag) to fix hang with KDE
179 file browser. Fix DNOTIFY flag mappings. Fix hang (in wait_event
180 waiting on an SMB response) in SendReceive when session dies but
181 reconnects quickly from another task. Add module init parms for
182 minimum number of large and small network buffers in the buffer pools,
183 and for the maximum number of simultaneous requests.
187 Add setfacl support to allow setting of ACLs remotely to Samba 3.10 and later
188 and other POSIX CIFS compliant servers. Fix error mapping for getfacl
189 to EOPNOTSUPP when server does not support posix acls on the wire. Fix
190 improperly zeroed buffer in CIFS Unix extensions set times call.
194 Fix internationalization problem in cifs readdir with filenames that map to
195 longer UTF-8 strings than the string on the wire was in Unicode. Add workaround
196 for readdir to netapp servers. Fix search rewind (seek into readdir to return
197 non-consecutive entries). Do not do readdir when server negotiates
198 buffer size to small to fit filename. Add support for reading POSIX ACLs from
199 the server (add also acl and noacl mount options).
203 Optionally allow using server side inode numbers, rather than client generated
204 ones by specifying mount option "serverino" - this is required for some apps
205 to work which double check hardlinked files and have persistent inode numbers.
209 Multiple bigendian fixes. On little endian systems (for reconnect after
210 network failure) fix tcp session reconnect code so we do not try first
211 to reconnect on reverse of port 445. Treat reparse points (NTFS junctions)
212 as directories rather than symlinks because we can do follow link on them.
216 Add config option to enable XATTR (extended attribute) support, mapping
217 xattr names in the "user." namespace space to SMB/CIFS EAs. Lots of
218 minor fixes pointed out by the Stanford SWAT checker (mostly missing
219 or out of order NULL pointer checks in little used error paths).
223 Add new mount parm to control whether mode check (generic_permission) is done
224 on the client. If Unix extensions are enabled and the uids on the client
225 and server do not match, client permission checks are meaningless on
226 server uids that do not exist on the client (this does not affect the
227 normal ACL check which occurs on the server). Fix default uid
228 on mknod to match create and mkdir. Add optional mount parm to allow
229 override of the default uid behavior (in which the server sets the uid
230 and gid of newly created files). Normally for network filesystem mounts
231 user want the server to set the uid/gid on newly created files (rather than
232 using uid of the client processes you would in a local filesystem).
236 Make transaction counts more consistent. Merge /proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps
237 info into /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData. Fix oops in rare oops in readdir
238 (in build_wildcard_path_from_dentry). Fix mknod to pass type field
239 (block/char/fifo) properly. Remove spurious mount warning log entry when
240 credentials passed as mount argument. Set major/minor device number in
241 inode for block and char devices when unix extensions enabled.
245 Fix /proc/fs/cifs/Stats and DebugData display to handle larger
246 amounts of return data. Properly limit requests to MAX_REQ (50
247 is the usual maximum active multiplex SMB/CIFS requests per server).
248 Do not kill cifsd (and thus hurt the other SMB session) when more than one
249 session to the same server (but with different userids) exists and one
250 of the two user's smb sessions is being removed while leaving the other.
251 Do not loop reconnecting in cifsd demultiplex thread when admin
252 kills the thread without going through unmount.
256 Do not rename hardlinked files (since that should be a noop). Flush
257 cached write behind data when reopening a file after session abend,
258 except when already in write. Grab per socket sem during reconnect
259 to avoid oops in sendmsg if overlapping with reconnect. Do not
260 reset cached inode file size on readdir for files open for write on
266 Update number of blocks in file so du command is happier (in Linux a fake
267 blocksize of 512 is required for calculating number of blocks in inode).
268 Fix prepare write of partial pages to read in data from server if possible.
269 Fix race on tcpStatus field between unmount and reconnection code, causing
270 cifsd process sometimes to hang around forever. Improve out of memory
271 checks in cifs_filldir
275 Fix incorrect file size in file handle based setattr on big endian hardware.
276 Fix oops in build_path_from_dentry when out of memory. Add checks for invalid
277 and closing file structs in writepage/partialpagewrite. Add statistics
278 for each mounted share (new menuconfig option). Fix endianness problem in
279 volume information displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData (only affects
280 affects big endian architectures). Prevent renames while constructing
281 path names for open, mkdir and rmdir.
285 Change to mempools for alloc smb request buffers and multiplex structs
286 to better handle low memory problems (and potential deadlocks).
290 Fix incomplete listings of large directories on Samba servers when Unix
291 extensions enabled. Fix oops when smb_buffer can not be allocated. Fix
292 rename deadlock when writing out dirty pages at same time.
296 Fix open of files in which O_CREATE can cause the mode to change in
297 some cases. Fix case in which retry of write overlaps file close.
298 Fix PPC64 build error. Reduce excessive stack usage in smb password
299 hashing. Fix overwrite of Linux user's view of file mode to Windows servers.
303 Fixes for large file copy, signal handling, socket retry, buffer
304 allocation and low memory situations.
308 Better port 139 support to Windows servers (RFC1001/RFC1002 Session_Initialize)
309 also now allowing support for specifying client netbiosname. NT4 support added.
313 Fix reconnection (and certain failed mounts) to properly wake up the
314 blocked users thread so it does not seem hung (in some cases was blocked
315 until the cifs receive timeout expired). Fix spurious error logging
316 to kernel log when application with open network files killed.
320 Fix /proc/fs module unload warning message (that could be logged
321 to the kernel log). Fix intermittent failure in connectathon
322 test7 (hardlink count not immediately refreshed in case in which
323 inode metadata can be incorrectly kept cached when time near zero)
327 Allow file_mode and dir_mode (specified at mount time) to be enforced
328 locally (the server already enforced its own ACLs too) for servers
329 that do not report the correct mode (do not support the
330 CIFS Unix Extensions).
334 Fix some small memory leaks in some unmount error paths. Fix major leak
335 of cache pages in readpages causing multiple read oriented stress
336 testcases (including fsx, and even large file copy) to fail over time.
340 Send NTCreateX with ATTR_POSIX if Linux/Unix extensions negotiated with server.
341 This allows files that differ only in case and improves performance of file
342 creation and file open to such servers. Fix semaphore conflict which causes
343 slow delete of open file to Samba (which unfortunately can cause an oplock
344 break to self while vfs_unlink held i_sem) which can hang for 20 seconds.
348 fixes to cifs_readpages for fsx test case
352 Fix caching data integrity bug when extending file size especially when no
353 oplock on file. Fix spurious logging of valid already parsed mount options
354 that are parsed outside of the cifs vfs such as nosuid.
359 Connect to server when port number override not specified, and tcp port
360 unitialized. Reset search to restart at correct file when kernel routine
361 filldir returns error during large directory searches (readdir).
365 Fix caching problem when files opened by multiple clients in which
366 page cache could contain stale data, and write through did
367 not occur often enough while file was still open when read ahead
368 (read oplock) not allowed. Treat "sep=" when first mount option
369 as an override of comma as the default separator between mount
374 Allow passwords longer than 16 bytes. Allow null password string.
378 Gracefully clean up failed mounts when attempting to mount to servers such as
379 Windows 98 that terminate tcp sessions during protocol negotiation. Handle
380 embedded commas in mount parsing of passwords.
384 Invalidate local inode cached pages on oplock break and when last file
385 instance is closed so that the client does not continue using stale local
386 copy rather than later modified server copy of file. Do not reconnect
387 when server drops the tcp session prematurely before negotiate
388 protocol response. Fix oops in reopen_file when dentry freed. Allow
389 the support for CIFS Unix Extensions to be disabled via proc interface.
393 Fix hang in commit_write during reconnection of open files under heavy load.
394 Fix unload_nls oops in a mount failure path. Serialize writes to same socket
395 which also fixes any possible races when cifs signatures are enabled in SMBs
396 being sent out of signature sequence number order.
400 Fix byte range locking bug (endian problem) causing bad offset and
405 Fix oops (in send_sig) caused by CIFS unmount code trying to
406 wake up the demultiplex thread after it had exited. Do not log
407 error on harmless oplock release of closed handle.
411 Fix unsafe global variable usage and password hash failure on gcc 3.3.1
412 Fix problem reconnecting secondary mounts to same server after session
413 failure. Fix invalid dentry - race in mkdir when directory gets created
414 by another client between the lookup and mkdir.
418 Fix to list processing in reopen_files. Fix reconnection when server hung
419 but tcpip session still alive. Set proper timeout on socket read.
423 Add missing mount options including iocharset. SMP fixes in write and open.
424 Fix errors in reconnecting after TCP session failure. Fix module unloading
425 of default nls codepage
429 Active smb transactions should never go negative (fix double FreeXid). Fix
430 list processing in file routines. Check return code on kmalloc in open.
431 Fix spinlock usage for SMP.
435 Fix oops in reopen_files when invalid dentry. drop dentry on server rename
436 and on revalidate errors. Fix cases where pid is now tgid. Fix return code
437 on create hard link when server does not support them.
441 Fix scheduling while atomic error in getting inode info on newly created file.
442 Fix truncate of existing files opened with O_CREAT but not O_TRUNC set.
446 Fix oops on write to dead tcp session. Remove error log write for case when file open
447 O_CREAT but not O_EXCL
451 Fix non-POSIX behavior on rename of open file and delete of open file by taking
452 advantage of trans2 SetFileInfo rename facility if available on target server.
453 Retry on ENOSPC and EAGAIN socket errors.
457 Fix oops on big endian readdir. Set blksize to be even power of two (2**blkbits) to fix
458 allocation size miscalculation. After oplock token lost do not read through
463 Fix oops on empty file readahead. Fix for file size handling for locally cached files.
467 Fix oops in mkdir when server fails to return inode info. Fix oops in reopen_files
468 during auto reconnection to server after server recovered from failure.
472 Finish support for Linux 2.5 open/create changes, which removes the
473 redundant NTCreate/QPathInfo/close that was sent during file create.
474 Enable oplock by default. Enable packet signing by default (needed to
475 access many recent Windows servers)
479 Fix oops when mounting to long server names caused by inverted parms to kmalloc.
480 Fix MultiuserMount (/proc/fs/cifs configuration setting) so that when enabled
481 we will choose a cifs user session (smb uid) that better matches the local
482 uid if a) the mount uid does not match the current uid and b) we have another
483 session to the same server (ip address) for a different mount which
484 matches the current local uid.
488 Add support for mknod of block or character devices. Fix oplock
489 code (distributed caching) to properly send response to oplock
494 Finish up CIFS packet digital signing for the default
495 NTLM security case. This should help Windows 2003
496 network interoperability since it is common for
497 packet signing to be required now. Fix statfs (stat -f)
498 which recently started returning errors due to
499 invalid value (-1 instead of 0) being set in the
500 struct kstatfs f_ffiles field.
504 Fix oops on stopping oplock thread when removing cifs when
509 Fix mount options for ro (readonly), uid, gid and file and directory mode.
513 Fix errors displayed on failed mounts to be more understandable.
514 Fixed various incorrect or misleading smb to posix error code mappings.
518 Fix display of NTFS DFS junctions to display as symlinks.
519 They are the network equivalent. Fix oops in
520 cifs_partialpagewrite caused by missing spinlock protection
521 of openfile linked list. Allow writebehind caching errors to
522 be returned to the application at file close.
526 Clean up options displayed in /proc/mounts by show_options to
527 be more consistent with other filesystems.
531 Fix delete of readonly file to Windows servers. Reflect
532 presence or absence of read only dos attribute in mode
533 bits for servers that do not support CIFS Unix extensions.
534 Fix shortened results on readdir of large directories to
535 servers supporting CIFS Unix extensions (caused by
536 incorrect resume key).
540 Fix truncate bug (set file size) that could cause hangs e.g. running fsx
544 unload nls if mount fails.
548 Add resume key support to search (readdir) code to workaround
549 Windows bug. Add /proc/fs/cifs/LookupCacheEnable which
550 allows disabling caching of attribute information for
555 Add more oplock handling (distributed caching code). Remove
556 dead code. Remove excessive stack space utilization from
561 Fix oops in get dfs referral (triggered when null path sent in to
562 mount). Add support for overriding rsize at mount time.
566 Fix buffer overrun in readdir which caused intermittent kernel oopses.
567 Fix writepage code to release kmap on write data. Allow "-ip=" new
568 mount option to be passed in on parameter distinct from the first part
569 (server name portion of) the UNC name. Allow override of the
570 tcp port of the target server via new mount option "-port="
574 Fix search handle leak on rewind. Fix setuid and gid so that they are
575 reflected in the local inode immediately. Cleanup of whitespace
576 to make 2.4 and 2.5 versions more consistent.
581 Fix signal sending so that captive thread (cifsd) exits on umount
582 (which was causing the warning in kmem_cache_free of the request buffers
583 at rmmod time). This had broken as a sideeffect of the recent global
584 kernel change to daemonize. Fix memory leak in readdir code which
585 showed up in "ls -R" (and applications that did search rewinding).
589 Reconnect tids and fids after session reconnection (still do not
590 reconnect byte range locks though). Fix problem caching
591 lookup information for directory inodes, improving performance,
592 especially in deep directory trees. Fix various build warnings.
596 Finish fixes to commit write for caching/readahead consistency. fsx
597 now works to Samba servers. Fix oops caused when readahead
598 was interrupted by a signal.
602 Fix data corruption (in partial page after truncate) that caused fsx to
603 fail to Windows servers. Cleaned up some extraneous error logging in
604 common error paths. Add generic sendfile support.
608 Fix memory leak in AllocMidQEntry.
609 Finish reconnection logic, so connection with server can be dropped
610 (or server rebooted) and the cifs client will reconnect.
614 Fix temporary socket leak when bad userid or password specified
615 (or other SMBSessSetup failure). Increase maximum buffer size to slightly
616 over 16K to allow negotiation of up to Samba and Windows server default read
617 sizes. Add support for readpages
621 Fix oops when username not passed in on mount. Extensive fixes and improvements
622 to error logging (strip redundant newlines, change debug macros to ensure newline
623 passed in and to be more consistent). Fix writepage wrong file handle problem,
624 a readonly file handle could be incorrectly used to attempt to write out
625 file updates through the page cache to multiply open files. This could cause
626 the iozone benchmark to fail on the fwrite test. Fix bug mounting two different
627 shares to the same Windows server when using different usernames
628 (doing this to Samba servers worked but Windows was rejecting it) - now it is
629 possible to use different userids when connecting to the same server from a
630 Linux client. Fix oops when treeDisconnect called during unmount on
631 previously freed socket.
635 Fix oops in readpages caused by not setting address space operations in inode in
640 Includes support for deleting of open files and renaming over existing files (per POSIX
641 requirement). Add readlink support for Windows junction points (directory symlinks).
645 Changed read and write to go through pagecache. Added additional address space operations.
646 Memory mapped operations now working.
650 Added writepage code for additional memory mapping support. Fixed leak in xids causing
651 the simultaneous operations counter (/proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps) to increase on
652 every stat call. Additional formatting cleanup.
656 Fix bigendian bug in order of time conversion. Merge 2.5 to 2.4 version. Formatting cleanup.
660 Fixes from Zwane Mwaikambo for adding missing return code checking in a few places.
661 Also included a modified version of his fix to protect global list manipulation of
662 the smb session and tree connection and mid related global variables.
666 Fix problem with captive thread hanging around at unmount time. Adjust to 2.5.42-pre
667 changes to superblock layout. Remove wasteful allocation of smb buffers (now the send
668 buffer is reused for responses). Add more oplock handling. Additional minor cleanup.
672 More stylistic updates to better match kernel style. Add additional statistics
673 for filesystem which can be viewed via /proc/fs/cifs. Add more pieces of NTLMv2
674 and CIFS Packet Signing enablement.
678 Replace call to sleep_on with safer wait_on_event.
679 Make stylistic changes to better match kernel style recommendations.
680 Remove most typedef usage (except for the PDUs themselves).
684 Update mount so the -unc mount option is no longer required (the ip address can be specified
685 in a UNC style device name. Implementation of readpage/writepage started.
689 Fix intermittent problem with incorrect smb header checking on badly
690 fragmented tcp responses
694 Fixes to setting of allocation size and file size.
698 Various 2.5.38 fixes. Now works on 2.5.38
702 Prepare for 2.5 kernel merge. Remove ifdefs.
706 Socket buffer management fixes. Fix dual free.
710 Various big endian fixes for hardlinks and symlinks and also for dfs.
714 Various big endian fixes for servers with Unix extensions such as Samba
718 Various FindNext fixes for incorrect filenames on large directory searches on big endian
719 clients. basic posix file i/o tests now work on big endian machines, not just le
723 SessionSetup and NegotiateProtocol now work from Big Endian machines.
724 Various Big Endian fixes found during testing on the Linux on 390. Various fixes for compatibility with older
725 versions of 2.4 kernel (now builds and works again on kernels at least as early as 2.4.7).
729 Various minor fixes for Connectathon Posix "basic" file i/o test suite. Directory caching fixed so hardlinked
730 files now return the correct number of links on fstat as they are repeatedly linked and unlinked.
734 Implemented "Raw" (i.e. not encapsulated in SPNEGO) NTLMSSP (i.e. the Security Provider Interface used to negotiate
735 session advanced session authentication). Raw NTLMSSP is preferred by Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP.
736 Began implementing support for SPNEGO encapsulation of NTLMSSP based session authentication blobs
737 (which is the mechanism preferred by Windows 2000 server in the absence of Kerberos).
741 Introduced optional mount helper utility mount.cifs and made coreq changes to cifs vfs to enable
742 it. Fixed a few bugs in the DFS code (e.g. bcc two bytes too short and incorrect uid in PDU).
746 Rewrote much of connection and mount/unmount logic to handle bugs with
747 multiple uses to same share, multiple users to same server etc.
751 Fixed major problem with dentry corruption (missing call to dput)
755 Rewrite of readdir code to fix bug. Various fixes for bigendian machines.
756 Begin adding oplock support. Multiusermount and oplockEnabled flags added to /proc/fs/cifs
757 although corresponding function not fully implemented in the vfs yet
761 Fixed dentry caching bug, misc. cleanup
765 Fixed 2.5 support to handle build and configure changes as well as misc. 2.5 changes. Now can build
766 on current 2.5 beta version (2.5.24) of the Linux kernel as well as on 2.4 Linux kernels.
767 Support for STATUS codes (newer 32 bit NT error codes) added. DFS support begun to be added.
771 Unix extensions (symlink, readlink, hardlink, chmod and some chgrp and chown) implemented
772 and tested against Samba 2.2.5
777 1) Fixed lockrange to be correct (it was one byte too short)
779 2) Fixed GETLK (i.e. the fcntl call to test a range of bytes in a file to see if locked) to correctly
780 show range as locked when there is a conflict with an existing lock.
782 3) default file perms are now 2767 (indicating support for mandatory locks) instead of 777 for directories
783 in most cases. Eventually will offer optional ability to query server for the correct perms.
785 3) Fixed eventual trap when mounting twice to different shares on the same server when the first succeeded
786 but the second one was invalid and failed (the second one was incorrectly disconnecting the tcp and smb
789 4) Fixed error logging of valid mount options
791 5) Removed logging of password field.
793 6) Moved negotiate, treeDisconnect and uloggoffX (only tConx and SessSetup remain in connect.c) to cifssmb.c
794 and cleaned them up and made them more consistent with other cifs functions.
796 7) Server support for Unix extensions is now fully detected and FindFirst is implemented both ways
797 (with or without Unix extensions) but FindNext and QueryPathInfo with the Unix extensions are not completed,
798 nor is the symlink support using the Unix extensions
800 8) Started adding the readlink and follow_link code
