+Version 1.58
+------------
+Guard against buffer overruns in various UCS-2 to UTF-8 string conversions
+when the UTF-8 string is composed of unusually long (more than 4 byte) converted
+characters. Add support for mounting root of a share which redirects immediately
+to DFS target. Convert string conversion functions from Unicode to more
+accurately mark string length before allocating memory (which may help the
+rare cases where a UTF-8 string is much larger than the UCS2 string that
+we converted from). Fix endianness of the vcnum field used during
+session setup to distinguish multiple mounts to same server from different
+userids. Raw NTLMSSP fixed (it requires /proc/fs/cifs/experimental
+flag to be set to 2, and mount must enable krb5 to turn on extended security).
+
+Version 1.57
+------------
+Improve support for multiple security contexts to the same server. We
+used to use the same "vcnumber" for all connections which could cause
+the server to treat subsequent connections, especially those that
+are authenticated as guest, as reconnections, invalidating the earlier
+user's smb session. This fix allows cifs to mount multiple times to the
+same server with different userids without risking invalidating earlier
+established security contexts. fsync now sends SMB Flush operation
+to better ensure that we wait for server to write all of the data to
+server disk (not just write it over the network). Add new mount
+parameter to allow user to disable sending the (slow) SMB flush on
+fsync if desired (fsync still flushes all cached write data to the server).
+Posix file open support added (turned off after one attempt if server
+fails to support it properly, as with Samba server versions prior to 3.3.2)
+Fix "redzone overwritten" bug in cifs_put_tcon (CIFSTcon may allocate too
+little memory for the "nativeFileSystem" field returned by the server
+during mount). Endian convert inode numbers if necessary (makes it easier
+to compare inode numbers on network files from big endian systems).
+
+Version 1.56
+------------
+Add "forcemandatorylock" mount option to allow user to use mandatory
+rather than posix (advisory) byte range locks, even though server would
+support posix byte range locks. Fix query of root inode when prefixpath
+specified and user does not have access to query information about the
+top of the share. Fix problem in 2.6.28 resolving DFS paths to
+Samba servers (worked to Windows). Fix rmdir so that pending search
+(readdir) requests do not get invalid results which include the now
+removed directory. Fix oops in cifs_dfs_ref.c when prefixpath is not reachable
+when using DFS. Add better file create support to servers which support
+the CIFS POSIX protocol extensions (this adds support for new flags
+on create, and improves semantics for write of locked ranges).
+
+Version 1.55
+------------
+Various fixes to make delete of open files behavior more predictable
+(when delete of an open file fails we mark the file as "delete-on-close"
+in a way that more servers accept, but only if we can first rename the
+file to a temporary name). Add experimental support for more safely
+handling fcntl(F_SETLEASE). Convert cifs to using blocking tcp
+sends, and also let tcp autotune the socket send and receive buffers.
+This reduces the number of EAGAIN errors returned by TCP/IP in
+high stress workloads (and the number of retries on socket writes
+when sending large SMBWriteX requests). Fix case in which a portion of
+data can in some cases not get written to the file on the server before the
+file is closed. Fix DFS parsing to properly handle path consumed field,
+and to handle certain codepage conversions better. Fix mount and
+umount race that can cause oops in mount or umount or reconnect.
+
+Version 1.54
+------------
+Fix premature write failure on congested networks (we would give up
+on EAGAIN from the socket too quickly on large writes).
+Cifs_mkdir and cifs_create now respect the setgid bit on parent dir.
+Fix endian problems in acl (mode from/to cifs acl) on bigendian
+architectures. Fix problems with preserving timestamps on copying open
+files (e.g. "cp -a") to Windows servers. For mkdir and create honor setgid bit
+on parent directory when server supports Unix Extensions but not POSIX
+create. Update cifs.upcall version to handle new Kerberos sec flags
+(this requires update of cifs.upcall program from Samba). Fix memory leak
+on dns_upcall (resolving DFS referralls). Fix plain text password
+authentication (requires setting SecurityFlags to 0x30030 to enable
+lanman and plain text though). Fix writes to be at correct offset when
+file is open with O_APPEND and file is on a directio (forcediretio) mount.
+Fix bug in rewinding readdir directory searches. Add nodfs mount option.
+
+Version 1.53
+------------
+DFS support added (Microsoft Distributed File System client support needed
+for referrals which enable a hierarchical name space among servers).
+Disable temporary caching of mode bits to servers which do not support
+storing of mode (e.g. Windows servers, when client mounts without cifsacl
+mount option) and add new "dynperm" mount option to enable temporary caching
+of mode (enable old behavior). Fix hang on mount caused when server crashes
+tcp session during negotiate protocol.
+
+Version 1.52
+------------
+Fix oops on second mount to server when null auth is used.
+Enable experimental Kerberos support. Return writebehind errors on flush
+and sync so that events like out of disk space get reported properly on
+cached files. Fix setxattr failure to certain Samba versions. Fix mount
+of second share to disconnected server session (autoreconnect on this).
+Add ability to modify cifs acls for handling chmod (when mounted with
+cifsacl flag). Fix prefixpath path separator so we can handle mounts
+with prefixpaths longer than one directory (one path component) when
+mounted to Windows servers. Fix slow file open when cifsacl
+enabled. Fix memory leak in FindNext when the SMB call returns -EBADF.
+
+
+Version 1.51
+------------
+Fix memory leak in statfs when mounted to very old servers (e.g.
+Windows 9x). Add new feature "POSIX open" which allows servers
+which support the current POSIX Extensions to provide better semantics
+(e.g. delete for open files opened with posix open). Take into
+account umask on posix mkdir not just older style mkdir. Add
+ability to mount to IPC$ share (which allows CIFS named pipes to be
+opened, read and written as if they were files). When 1st tree
+connect fails (e.g. due to signing negotiation failure) fix
+leak that causes cifsd not to stop and rmmod to fail to cleanup
+cifs_request_buffers pool. Fix problem with POSIX Open/Mkdir on
+bigendian architectures. Fix possible memory corruption when
+EAGAIN returned on kern_recvmsg. Return better error if server
+requires packet signing but client has disabled it. When mounted
+with cifsacl mount option - mode bits are approximated based
+on the contents of the ACL of the file or directory. When cifs
+mount helper is missing convert make sure that UNC name
+has backslash (not forward slash) between ip address of server
+and the share name.
+
+Version 1.50
+------------
+Fix NTLMv2 signing. NFS server mounted over cifs works (if cifs mount is
+done with "serverino" mount option). Add support for POSIX Unlink
+(helps with certain sharing violation cases when server such as
+Samba supports newer POSIX CIFS Protocol Extensions). Add "nounix"
+mount option to allow disabling the CIFS Unix Extensions for just
+that mount. Fix hang on spinlock in find_writable_file (race when
+reopening file after session crash). Byte range unlock request to
+windows server could unlock more bytes (on server copy of file)
+than intended if start of unlock request is well before start of
+a previous byte range lock that we issued.
+
+Version 1.49
+------------
+IPv6 support. Enable ipv6 addresses to be passed on mount (put the ipv6
+address after the "ip=" mount option, at least until mount.cifs is fixed to
+handle DNS host to ipv6 name translation). Accept override of uid or gid
+on mount even when Unix Extensions are negotiated (it used to be ignored
+when Unix Extensions were ignored). This allows users to override the
+default uid and gid for files when they are certain that the uids or
+gids on the server do not match those of the client. Make "sec=none"
+mount override username (so that null user connection is attempted)
+to match what documentation said. Support for very large reads, over 127K,
+available to some newer servers (such as Samba 3.0.26 and later but
+note that it also requires setting CIFSMaxBufSize at module install
+time to a larger value which may hurt performance in some cases).
+Make sign option force signing (or fail if server does not support it).
+
+Version 1.48
+------------
+Fix mtime bouncing around from local idea of last write times to remote time.
+Fix hang (in i_size_read) when simultaneous size update of same remote file
+on smp system corrupts sequence number. Do not reread unnecessarily partial page
+(which we are about to overwrite anyway) when writing out file opened rw.
+When DOS attribute of file on non-Unix server's file changes on the server side
+from read-only back to read-write, reflect this change in default file mode
+(we had been leaving a file's mode read-only until the inode were reloaded).
+Allow setting of attribute back to ATTR_NORMAL (removing readonly dos attribute
+when archive dos attribute not set and we are changing mode back to writeable
+on server which does not support the Unix Extensions). Remove read only dos
+attribute on chmod when adding any write permission (ie on any of
+user/group/other (not all of user/group/other ie 0222) when
+mounted to windows. Add support for POSIX MkDir (slight performance
+enhancement and eliminates the network race between the mkdir and set
+path info of the mode).
+
+
+Version 1.47
+------------
+Fix oops in list_del during mount caused by unaligned string.
+Fix file corruption which could occur on some large file
+copies caused by writepages page i/o completion bug.
+Seek to SEEK_END forces check for update of file size for non-cached
+files. Allow file size to be updated on remote extend of locally open,
+non-cached file. Fix reconnect to newer Samba servers (or other servers
+which support the CIFS Unix/POSIX extensions) so that we again tell the
+server the Unix/POSIX cifs capabilities which we support (SetFSInfo).
+Add experimental support for new POSIX Open/Mkdir (which returns
+stat information on the open, and allows setting the mode).
+
+Version 1.46
+------------
+Support deep tree mounts. Better support OS/2, Win9x (DOS) time stamps.
+Allow null user to be specified on mount ("username="). Do not return
+EINVAL on readdir when filldir fails due to overwritten blocksize
+(fixes FC problem). Return error in rename 2nd attempt retry (ie report
+if rename by handle also fails, after rename by path fails, we were
+not reporting whether the retry worked or not). Fix NTLMv2 to
+work to Windows servers (mount with option "sec=ntlmv2").
+
+Version 1.45
+------------
+Do not time out lockw calls when using posix extensions. Do not
+time out requests if server still responding reasonably fast
+on requests on other threads. Improve POSIX locking emulation,
+(lock cancel now works, and unlock of merged range works even
+to Windows servers now). Fix oops on mount to lanman servers
+(win9x, os/2 etc.) when null password. Do not send listxattr
+(SMB to query all EAs) if nouser_xattr specified. Fix SE Linux
+problem (instantiate inodes/dentries in right order for readdir).
+
+Version 1.44
+------------
+Rewritten sessionsetup support, including support for legacy SMB
+session setup needed for OS/2 and older servers such as Windows 95 and 98.
+Fix oops on ls to OS/2 servers. Add support for level 1 FindFirst
+so we can do search (ls etc.) to OS/2. Do not send NTCreateX
+or recent levels of FindFirst unless server says it supports NT SMBs
+(instead use legacy equivalents from LANMAN dialect). Fix to allow
+NTLMv2 authentication support (now can use stronger password hashing
+on mount if corresponding /proc/fs/cifs/SecurityFlags is set (0x4004).
+Allow override of global cifs security flags on mount via "sec=" option(s).
+
+Version 1.43
+------------
+POSIX locking to servers which support CIFS POSIX Extensions
+(disabled by default controlled by proc/fs/cifs/Experimental).
+Handle conversion of long share names (especially Asian languages)
+to Unicode during mount. Fix memory leak in sess struct on reconnect.
+Fix rare oops after acpi suspend. Fix O_TRUNC opens to overwrite on
+cifs open which helps rare case when setpathinfo fails or server does
+not support it.
+
+Version 1.42
+------------
+Fix slow oplock break when mounted to different servers at the same time and
+the tids match and we try to find matching fid on wrong server. Fix read
+looping when signing required by server (2.6.16 kernel only). Fix readdir
+vs. rename race which could cause each to hang. Return . and .. even
+if server does not. Allow searches to skip first three entries and
+begin at any location. Fix oops in find_writeable_file.
+
+Version 1.41
+------------
+Fix NTLMv2 security (can be enabled in /proc/fs/cifs) so customers can
+configure stronger authentication. Fix sfu symlinks so they can
+be followed (not just recognized). Fix wraparound of bcc on
+read responses when buffer size over 64K and also fix wrap of
+max smb buffer size when CIFSMaxBufSize over 64K. Fix oops in
+cifs_user_read and cifs_readpages (when EAGAIN on send of smb
+on socket is returned over and over). Add POSIX (advisory) byte range
+locking support (requires server with newest CIFS UNIX Extensions
+to the protocol implemented). Slow down negprot slightly in port 139
+RFC1001 case to give session_init time on buggy servers.
+
+Version 1.40
+------------
+Use fsuid (fsgid) more consistently instead of uid (gid). Improve performance
+of readpages by eliminating one extra memcpy. Allow update of file size
+from remote server even if file is open for write as long as mount is
+directio. Recognize share mode security and send NTLM encrypted password
+on tree connect if share mode negotiated.
+
Version 1.39
------------
-Defer close of a file handle slightly if pending writes depend on that file handle
+Defer close of a file handle slightly if pending writes depend on that handle
(this reduces the EBADF bad file handle errors that can be logged under heavy
-stress on writes).
+stress on writes). Modify cifs Kconfig options to expose CONFIG_CIFS_STATS2
+Fix SFU style symlinks and mknod needed for servers which do not support the
+CIFS Unix Extensions. Fix setfacl/getfacl on bigendian. Timeout negative
+dentries so files that the client sees as deleted but that later get created
+on the server will be recognized. Add client side permission check on setattr.
+Timeout stuck requests better (where server has never responded or sent corrupt
+responses)
Version 1.38
------------
Version 1.25
------------
Fix internationalization problem in cifs readdir with filenames that map to
-longer UTF8 strings than the string on the wire was in Unicode. Add workaround
+longer UTF-8 strings than the string on the wire was in Unicode. Add workaround
for readdir to netapp servers. Fix search rewind (seek into readdir to return
non-consecutive entries). Do not do readdir when server negotiates
buffer size to small to fit filename. Add support for reading POSIX ACLs from
