3 DFS support added (Microsoft Distributed File System client support needed
4 for referrals which enable a hierarchical name space among servers).
5 Disable temporary caching of mode bits to servers which do not support
6 storing of mode (e.g. Windows servers, when client mounts without cifsacl
7 mount option) and add new "dynperm" mount option to enable temporary caching
8 of mode (enable old behavior). Fix hang on mount caused when server crashes
9 tcp session during negotiate protocol.
13 Fix oops on second mount to server when null auth is used.
14 Enable experimental Kerberos support. Return writebehind errors on flush
15 and sync so that events like out of disk space get reported properly on
16 cached files. Fix setxattr failure to certain Samba versions. Fix mount
17 of second share to disconnected server session (autoreconnect on this).
18 Add ability to modify cifs acls for handling chmod (when mounted with
19 cifsacl flag). Fix prefixpath path separator so we can handle mounts
20 with prefixpaths longer than one directory (one path component) when
21 mounted to Windows servers. Fix slow file open when cifsacl
22 enabled. Fix memory leak in FindNext when the SMB call returns -EBADF.
27 Fix memory leak in statfs when mounted to very old servers (e.g.
28 Windows 9x). Add new feature "POSIX open" which allows servers
29 which support the current POSIX Extensions to provide better semantics
30 (e.g. delete for open files opened with posix open). Take into
31 account umask on posix mkdir not just older style mkdir. Add
32 ability to mount to IPC$ share (which allows CIFS named pipes to be
33 opened, read and written as if they were files). When 1st tree
34 connect fails (e.g. due to signing negotiation failure) fix
35 leak that causes cifsd not to stop and rmmod to fail to cleanup
36 cifs_request_buffers pool. Fix problem with POSIX Open/Mkdir on
37 bigendian architectures. Fix possible memory corruption when
38 EAGAIN returned on kern_recvmsg. Return better error if server
39 requires packet signing but client has disabled it. When mounted
40 with cifsacl mount option - mode bits are approximated based
41 on the contents of the ACL of the file or directory. When cifs
42 mount helper is missing convert make sure that UNC name
43 has backslash (not forward slash) between ip address of server
48 Fix NTLMv2 signing. NFS server mounted over cifs works (if cifs mount is
49 done with "serverino" mount option). Add support for POSIX Unlink
50 (helps with certain sharing violation cases when server such as
51 Samba supports newer POSIX CIFS Protocol Extensions). Add "nounix"
52 mount option to allow disabling the CIFS Unix Extensions for just
53 that mount. Fix hang on spinlock in find_writable_file (race when
54 reopening file after session crash). Byte range unlock request to
55 windows server could unlock more bytes (on server copy of file)
56 than intended if start of unlock request is well before start of
57 a previous byte range lock that we issued.
61 IPv6 support. Enable ipv6 addresses to be passed on mount (put the ipv6
62 address after the "ip=" mount option, at least until mount.cifs is fixed to
63 handle DNS host to ipv6 name translation). Accept override of uid or gid
64 on mount even when Unix Extensions are negotiated (it used to be ignored
65 when Unix Extensions were ignored). This allows users to override the
66 default uid and gid for files when they are certain that the uids or
67 gids on the server do not match those of the client. Make "sec=none"
68 mount override username (so that null user connection is attempted)
69 to match what documentation said. Support for very large reads, over 127K,
70 available to some newer servers (such as Samba 3.0.26 and later but
71 note that it also requires setting CIFSMaxBufSize at module install
72 time to a larger value which may hurt performance in some cases).
73 Make sign option force signing (or fail if server does not support it).
77 Fix mtime bouncing around from local idea of last write times to remote time.
78 Fix hang (in i_size_read) when simultaneous size update of same remote file
79 on smp system corrupts sequence number. Do not reread unnecessarily partial page
80 (which we are about to overwrite anyway) when writing out file opened rw.
81 When DOS attribute of file on non-Unix server's file changes on the server side
82 from read-only back to read-write, reflect this change in default file mode
83 (we had been leaving a file's mode read-only until the inode were reloaded).
84 Allow setting of attribute back to ATTR_NORMAL (removing readonly dos attribute
85 when archive dos attribute not set and we are changing mode back to writeable
86 on server which does not support the Unix Extensions). Remove read only dos
87 attribute on chmod when adding any write permission (ie on any of
88 user/group/other (not all of user/group/other ie 0222) when
89 mounted to windows. Add support for POSIX MkDir (slight performance
90 enhancement and eliminates the network race between the mkdir and set
91 path info of the mode).
96 Fix oops in list_del during mount caused by unaligned string.
97 Fix file corruption which could occur on some large file
98 copies caused by writepages page i/o completion bug.
99 Seek to SEEK_END forces check for update of file size for non-cached
100 files. Allow file size to be updated on remote extend of locally open,
101 non-cached file. Fix reconnect to newer Samba servers (or other servers
102 which support the CIFS Unix/POSIX extensions) so that we again tell the
103 server the Unix/POSIX cifs capabilities which we support (SetFSInfo).
104 Add experimental support for new POSIX Open/Mkdir (which returns
105 stat information on the open, and allows setting the mode).
109 Support deep tree mounts. Better support OS/2, Win9x (DOS) time stamps.
110 Allow null user to be specified on mount ("username="). Do not return
111 EINVAL on readdir when filldir fails due to overwritten blocksize
112 (fixes FC problem). Return error in rename 2nd attempt retry (ie report
113 if rename by handle also fails, after rename by path fails, we were
114 not reporting whether the retry worked or not). Fix NTLMv2 to
115 work to Windows servers (mount with option "sec=ntlmv2").
119 Do not time out lockw calls when using posix extensions. Do not
120 time out requests if server still responding reasonably fast
121 on requests on other threads. Improve POSIX locking emulation,
122 (lock cancel now works, and unlock of merged range works even
123 to Windows servers now). Fix oops on mount to lanman servers
124 (win9x, os/2 etc.) when null password. Do not send listxattr
125 (SMB to query all EAs) if nouser_xattr specified. Fix SE Linux
126 problem (instantiate inodes/dentries in right order for readdir).
130 Rewritten sessionsetup support, including support for legacy SMB
131 session setup needed for OS/2 and older servers such as Windows 95 and 98.
132 Fix oops on ls to OS/2 servers. Add support for level 1 FindFirst
133 so we can do search (ls etc.) to OS/2. Do not send NTCreateX
134 or recent levels of FindFirst unless server says it supports NT SMBs
135 (instead use legacy equivalents from LANMAN dialect). Fix to allow
136 NTLMv2 authentication support (now can use stronger password hashing
137 on mount if corresponding /proc/fs/cifs/SecurityFlags is set (0x4004).
138 Allow override of global cifs security flags on mount via "sec=" option(s).
142 POSIX locking to servers which support CIFS POSIX Extensions
143 (disabled by default controlled by proc/fs/cifs/Experimental).
144 Handle conversion of long share names (especially Asian languages)
145 to Unicode during mount. Fix memory leak in sess struct on reconnect.
146 Fix rare oops after acpi suspend. Fix O_TRUNC opens to overwrite on
147 cifs open which helps rare case when setpathinfo fails or server does
152 Fix slow oplock break when mounted to different servers at the same time and
153 the tids match and we try to find matching fid on wrong server. Fix read
154 looping when signing required by server (2.6.16 kernel only). Fix readdir
155 vs. rename race which could cause each to hang. Return . and .. even
156 if server does not. Allow searches to skip first three entries and
157 begin at any location. Fix oops in find_writeable_file.
161 Fix NTLMv2 security (can be enabled in /proc/fs/cifs) so customers can
162 configure stronger authentication. Fix sfu symlinks so they can
163 be followed (not just recognized). Fix wraparound of bcc on
164 read responses when buffer size over 64K and also fix wrap of
165 max smb buffer size when CIFSMaxBufSize over 64K. Fix oops in
166 cifs_user_read and cifs_readpages (when EAGAIN on send of smb
167 on socket is returned over and over). Add POSIX (advisory) byte range
168 locking support (requires server with newest CIFS UNIX Extensions
169 to the protocol implemented). Slow down negprot slightly in port 139
170 RFC1001 case to give session_init time on buggy servers.
174 Use fsuid (fsgid) more consistently instead of uid (gid). Improve performance
175 of readpages by eliminating one extra memcpy. Allow update of file size
176 from remote server even if file is open for write as long as mount is
177 directio. Recognize share mode security and send NTLM encrypted password
178 on tree connect if share mode negotiated.
182 Defer close of a file handle slightly if pending writes depend on that handle
183 (this reduces the EBADF bad file handle errors that can be logged under heavy
184 stress on writes). Modify cifs Kconfig options to expose CONFIG_CIFS_STATS2
185 Fix SFU style symlinks and mknod needed for servers which do not support the
186 CIFS Unix Extensions. Fix setfacl/getfacl on bigendian. Timeout negative
187 dentries so files that the client sees as deleted but that later get created
188 on the server will be recognized. Add client side permission check on setattr.
189 Timeout stuck requests better (where server has never responded or sent corrupt
194 Fix tcp socket retransmission timeouts (e.g. on ENOSPACE from the socket)
195 to be smaller at first (but increasing) so large write performance performance
196 over GigE is better. Do not hang thread on illegal byte range lock response
197 from Windows (Windows can send an RFC1001 size which does not match smb size) by
198 allowing an SMBs TCP length to be up to a few bytes longer than it should be.
199 wsize and rsize can now be larger than negotiated buffer size if server
200 supports large readx/writex, even when directio mount flag not specified.
201 Write size will in many cases now be 16K instead of 4K which greatly helps
202 file copy performance on lightly loaded networks. Fix oops in dnotify
203 when experimental config flag enabled. Make cifsFYI more granular.
207 Fix readdir caching when unlink removes file in current search buffer,
208 and this is followed by a rewind search to just before the deleted entry.
209 Do not attempt to set ctime unless atime and/or mtime change requested
210 (most servers throw it away anyway). Fix length check of received smbs
211 to be more accurate. Fix big endian problem with mapchars mount option,
212 and with a field returned by statfs.
216 Add support for mounting to older pre-CIFS servers such as Windows9x and ME.
217 For these older servers, add option for passing netbios name of server in
218 on mount (servernetbiosname). Add suspend support for power management, to
219 avoid cifsd thread preventing software suspend from working.
220 Add mount option for disabling the default behavior of sending byte range lock
221 requests to the server (necessary for certain applications which break with
222 mandatory lock behavior such as Evolution), and also mount option for
223 requesting case insensitive matching for path based requests (requesting
224 case sensitive is the default).
228 Add writepage performance improvements. Fix path name conversions
229 for long filenames on mounts which were done with "mapchars" mount option
230 specified. Ensure multiplex ids do not collide. Fix case in which
231 rmmod can oops if done soon after last unmount. Fix truncated
232 search (readdir) output when resume filename was a long filename.
233 Fix filename conversion when mapchars mount option was specified and
234 filename was a long filename.
238 Fix error mapping of the TOO_MANY_LINKS (hardlinks) case.
239 Do not oops if root user kills cifs oplock kernel thread or
240 kills the cifsd thread (NB: killing the cifs kernel threads is not
241 recommended, unmount and rmmod cifs will kill them when they are
242 no longer needed). Fix readdir to ASCII servers (ie older servers
243 which do not support Unicode) and also require asterisk.
244 Fix out of memory case in which data could be written one page
245 off in the page cache.
249 Fix caching problem, in which readdir of directory containing a file
250 which was cached could cause the file's time stamp to be updated
251 without invalidating the readahead data (so we could get stale
252 file data on the client for that file even as the server copy changed).
253 Cleanup response processing so cifsd can not loop when abnormally
259 Fix oops in ls when Transact2 FindFirst (or FindNext) returns more than one
260 transact response for an SMB request and search entry split across two frames.
261 Add support for lsattr (getting ext2/ext3/reiserfs attr flags from the server)
262 as new protocol extensions. Do not send Get/Set calls for POSIX ACLs
263 unless server explicitly claims to support them in CIFS Unix extensions
264 POSIX ACL capability bit. Fix packet signing when multiuser mounting with
265 different users from the same client to the same server. Fix oops in
266 cifs_close. Add mount option for remapping reserved characters in
267 filenames (also allow recognizing files with created by SFU which have any
268 of these seven reserved characters, except backslash, to be recognized).
269 Fix invalid transact2 message (we were sometimes trying to interpret
270 oplock breaks as SMB responses). Add ioctl for checking that the
271 current uid matches the uid of the mounter (needed by umount.cifs).
272 Reduce the number of large buffer allocations in cifs response processing
273 (significantly reduces memory pressure under heavy stress with multiple
274 processes accessing the same server at the same time).
278 Fix updates of DOS attributes and time fields so that files on NT4 servers
279 do not get marked delete on close. Display sizes of cifs buffer pools in
280 cifs stats. Fix oops in unmount when cifsd thread being killed by
281 shutdown. Add generic readv/writev and aio support. Report inode numbers
282 consistently in readdir and lookup (when serverino mount option is
283 specified use the inode number that the server reports - for both lookup
284 and readdir, otherwise by default the locally generated inode number is used
285 for inodes created in either path since servers are not always able to
286 provide unique inode numbers when exporting multiple volumes from under one
291 Allow new nouser_xattr mount parm to disable xattr support for user namespace.
292 Do not flag user_xattr mount parm in dmesg. Retry failures setting file time
293 (mostly affects NT4 servers) by retry with handle based network operation.
294 Add new POSIX Query FS Info for returning statfs info more accurately.
295 Handle passwords with multiple commas in them.
299 Fix default mode in sysfs of cifs module parms. Remove old readdir routine.
300 Fix capabilities flags for large readx so as to allow reads larger than 64K.
304 Add module init parm for large SMB buffer size (to allow it to be changed
305 from its default of 16K) which is especially useful for large file copy
306 when mounting with the directio mount option. Fix oops after
307 returning from mount when experimental ExtendedSecurity enabled and
308 SpnegoNegotiated returning invalid error. Fix case to retry better when
309 peek returns from 1 to 3 bytes on socket which should have more data.
310 Fixed path based calls (such as cifs lookup) to handle path names
311 longer than 530 (now can handle PATH_MAX). Fix pass through authentication
312 from Samba server to DC (Samba required dummy LM password).
316 Turn off DNOTIFY (directory change notification support) by default
317 (unless built with the experimental flag) to fix hang with KDE
318 file browser. Fix DNOTIFY flag mappings. Fix hang (in wait_event
319 waiting on an SMB response) in SendReceive when session dies but
320 reconnects quickly from another task. Add module init parms for
321 minimum number of large and small network buffers in the buffer pools,
322 and for the maximum number of simultaneous requests.
326 Add setfacl support to allow setting of ACLs remotely to Samba 3.10 and later
327 and other POSIX CIFS compliant servers. Fix error mapping for getfacl
328 to EOPNOTSUPP when server does not support posix acls on the wire. Fix
329 improperly zeroed buffer in CIFS Unix extensions set times call.
333 Fix internationalization problem in cifs readdir with filenames that map to
334 longer UTF-8 strings than the string on the wire was in Unicode. Add workaround
335 for readdir to netapp servers. Fix search rewind (seek into readdir to return
336 non-consecutive entries). Do not do readdir when server negotiates
337 buffer size to small to fit filename. Add support for reading POSIX ACLs from
338 the server (add also acl and noacl mount options).
342 Optionally allow using server side inode numbers, rather than client generated
343 ones by specifying mount option "serverino" - this is required for some apps
344 to work which double check hardlinked files and have persistent inode numbers.
348 Multiple bigendian fixes. On little endian systems (for reconnect after
349 network failure) fix tcp session reconnect code so we do not try first
350 to reconnect on reverse of port 445. Treat reparse points (NTFS junctions)
351 as directories rather than symlinks because we can do follow link on them.
355 Add config option to enable XATTR (extended attribute) support, mapping
356 xattr names in the "user." namespace space to SMB/CIFS EAs. Lots of
357 minor fixes pointed out by the Stanford SWAT checker (mostly missing
358 or out of order NULL pointer checks in little used error paths).
362 Add new mount parm to control whether mode check (generic_permission) is done
363 on the client. If Unix extensions are enabled and the uids on the client
364 and server do not match, client permission checks are meaningless on
365 server uids that do not exist on the client (this does not affect the
366 normal ACL check which occurs on the server). Fix default uid
367 on mknod to match create and mkdir. Add optional mount parm to allow
368 override of the default uid behavior (in which the server sets the uid
369 and gid of newly created files). Normally for network filesystem mounts
370 user want the server to set the uid/gid on newly created files (rather than
371 using uid of the client processes you would in a local filesystem).
375 Make transaction counts more consistent. Merge /proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps
376 info into /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData. Fix oops in rare oops in readdir
377 (in build_wildcard_path_from_dentry). Fix mknod to pass type field
378 (block/char/fifo) properly. Remove spurious mount warning log entry when
379 credentials passed as mount argument. Set major/minor device number in
380 inode for block and char devices when unix extensions enabled.
384 Fix /proc/fs/cifs/Stats and DebugData display to handle larger
385 amounts of return data. Properly limit requests to MAX_REQ (50
386 is the usual maximum active multiplex SMB/CIFS requests per server).
387 Do not kill cifsd (and thus hurt the other SMB session) when more than one
388 session to the same server (but with different userids) exists and one
389 of the two user's smb sessions is being removed while leaving the other.
390 Do not loop reconnecting in cifsd demultiplex thread when admin
391 kills the thread without going through unmount.
395 Do not rename hardlinked files (since that should be a noop). Flush
396 cached write behind data when reopening a file after session abend,
397 except when already in write. Grab per socket sem during reconnect
398 to avoid oops in sendmsg if overlapping with reconnect. Do not
399 reset cached inode file size on readdir for files open for write on
405 Update number of blocks in file so du command is happier (in Linux a fake
406 blocksize of 512 is required for calculating number of blocks in inode).
407 Fix prepare write of partial pages to read in data from server if possible.
408 Fix race on tcpStatus field between unmount and reconnection code, causing
409 cifsd process sometimes to hang around forever. Improve out of memory
410 checks in cifs_filldir
414 Fix incorrect file size in file handle based setattr on big endian hardware.
415 Fix oops in build_path_from_dentry when out of memory. Add checks for invalid
416 and closing file structs in writepage/partialpagewrite. Add statistics
417 for each mounted share (new menuconfig option). Fix endianness problem in
418 volume information displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData (only affects
419 affects big endian architectures). Prevent renames while constructing
420 path names for open, mkdir and rmdir.
424 Change to mempools for alloc smb request buffers and multiplex structs
425 to better handle low memory problems (and potential deadlocks).
429 Fix incomplete listings of large directories on Samba servers when Unix
430 extensions enabled. Fix oops when smb_buffer can not be allocated. Fix
431 rename deadlock when writing out dirty pages at same time.
435 Fix open of files in which O_CREATE can cause the mode to change in
436 some cases. Fix case in which retry of write overlaps file close.
437 Fix PPC64 build error. Reduce excessive stack usage in smb password
438 hashing. Fix overwrite of Linux user's view of file mode to Windows servers.
442 Fixes for large file copy, signal handling, socket retry, buffer
443 allocation and low memory situations.
447 Better port 139 support to Windows servers (RFC1001/RFC1002 Session_Initialize)
448 also now allowing support for specifying client netbiosname. NT4 support added.
452 Fix reconnection (and certain failed mounts) to properly wake up the
453 blocked users thread so it does not seem hung (in some cases was blocked
454 until the cifs receive timeout expired). Fix spurious error logging
455 to kernel log when application with open network files killed.
459 Fix /proc/fs module unload warning message (that could be logged
460 to the kernel log). Fix intermittent failure in connectathon
461 test7 (hardlink count not immediately refreshed in case in which
462 inode metadata can be incorrectly kept cached when time near zero)
466 Allow file_mode and dir_mode (specified at mount time) to be enforced
467 locally (the server already enforced its own ACLs too) for servers
468 that do not report the correct mode (do not support the
469 CIFS Unix Extensions).
473 Fix some small memory leaks in some unmount error paths. Fix major leak
474 of cache pages in readpages causing multiple read oriented stress
475 testcases (including fsx, and even large file copy) to fail over time.
479 Send NTCreateX with ATTR_POSIX if Linux/Unix extensions negotiated with server.
480 This allows files that differ only in case and improves performance of file
481 creation and file open to such servers. Fix semaphore conflict which causes
482 slow delete of open file to Samba (which unfortunately can cause an oplock
483 break to self while vfs_unlink held i_sem) which can hang for 20 seconds.
487 fixes to cifs_readpages for fsx test case
491 Fix caching data integrity bug when extending file size especially when no
492 oplock on file. Fix spurious logging of valid already parsed mount options
493 that are parsed outside of the cifs vfs such as nosuid.
498 Connect to server when port number override not specified, and tcp port
499 unitialized. Reset search to restart at correct file when kernel routine
500 filldir returns error during large directory searches (readdir).
504 Fix caching problem when files opened by multiple clients in which
505 page cache could contain stale data, and write through did
506 not occur often enough while file was still open when read ahead
507 (read oplock) not allowed. Treat "sep=" when first mount option
508 as an override of comma as the default separator between mount
513 Allow passwords longer than 16 bytes. Allow null password string.
517 Gracefully clean up failed mounts when attempting to mount to servers such as
518 Windows 98 that terminate tcp sessions during protocol negotiation. Handle
519 embedded commas in mount parsing of passwords.
523 Invalidate local inode cached pages on oplock break and when last file
524 instance is closed so that the client does not continue using stale local
525 copy rather than later modified server copy of file. Do not reconnect
526 when server drops the tcp session prematurely before negotiate
527 protocol response. Fix oops in reopen_file when dentry freed. Allow
528 the support for CIFS Unix Extensions to be disabled via proc interface.
532 Fix hang in commit_write during reconnection of open files under heavy load.
533 Fix unload_nls oops in a mount failure path. Serialize writes to same socket
534 which also fixes any possible races when cifs signatures are enabled in SMBs
535 being sent out of signature sequence number order.
539 Fix byte range locking bug (endian problem) causing bad offset and
544 Fix oops (in send_sig) caused by CIFS unmount code trying to
545 wake up the demultiplex thread after it had exited. Do not log
546 error on harmless oplock release of closed handle.
550 Fix unsafe global variable usage and password hash failure on gcc 3.3.1
551 Fix problem reconnecting secondary mounts to same server after session
552 failure. Fix invalid dentry - race in mkdir when directory gets created
553 by another client between the lookup and mkdir.
557 Fix to list processing in reopen_files. Fix reconnection when server hung
558 but tcpip session still alive. Set proper timeout on socket read.
562 Add missing mount options including iocharset. SMP fixes in write and open.
563 Fix errors in reconnecting after TCP session failure. Fix module unloading
564 of default nls codepage
568 Active smb transactions should never go negative (fix double FreeXid). Fix
569 list processing in file routines. Check return code on kmalloc in open.
570 Fix spinlock usage for SMP.
574 Fix oops in reopen_files when invalid dentry. drop dentry on server rename
575 and on revalidate errors. Fix cases where pid is now tgid. Fix return code
576 on create hard link when server does not support them.
580 Fix scheduling while atomic error in getting inode info on newly created file.
581 Fix truncate of existing files opened with O_CREAT but not O_TRUNC set.
585 Fix oops on write to dead tcp session. Remove error log write for case when file open
586 O_CREAT but not O_EXCL
590 Fix non-POSIX behavior on rename of open file and delete of open file by taking
591 advantage of trans2 SetFileInfo rename facility if available on target server.
592 Retry on ENOSPC and EAGAIN socket errors.
596 Fix oops on big endian readdir. Set blksize to be even power of two (2**blkbits) to fix
597 allocation size miscalculation. After oplock token lost do not read through
602 Fix oops on empty file readahead. Fix for file size handling for locally cached files.
606 Fix oops in mkdir when server fails to return inode info. Fix oops in reopen_files
607 during auto reconnection to server after server recovered from failure.
611 Finish support for Linux 2.5 open/create changes, which removes the
612 redundant NTCreate/QPathInfo/close that was sent during file create.
613 Enable oplock by default. Enable packet signing by default (needed to
614 access many recent Windows servers)
618 Fix oops when mounting to long server names caused by inverted parms to kmalloc.
619 Fix MultiuserMount (/proc/fs/cifs configuration setting) so that when enabled
620 we will choose a cifs user session (smb uid) that better matches the local
621 uid if a) the mount uid does not match the current uid and b) we have another
622 session to the same server (ip address) for a different mount which
623 matches the current local uid.
627 Add support for mknod of block or character devices. Fix oplock
628 code (distributed caching) to properly send response to oplock
633 Finish up CIFS packet digital signing for the default
634 NTLM security case. This should help Windows 2003
635 network interoperability since it is common for
636 packet signing to be required now. Fix statfs (stat -f)
637 which recently started returning errors due to
638 invalid value (-1 instead of 0) being set in the
639 struct kstatfs f_ffiles field.
643 Fix oops on stopping oplock thread when removing cifs when
648 Fix mount options for ro (readonly), uid, gid and file and directory mode.
652 Fix errors displayed on failed mounts to be more understandable.
653 Fixed various incorrect or misleading smb to posix error code mappings.
657 Fix display of NTFS DFS junctions to display as symlinks.
658 They are the network equivalent. Fix oops in
659 cifs_partialpagewrite caused by missing spinlock protection
660 of openfile linked list. Allow writebehind caching errors to
661 be returned to the application at file close.
665 Clean up options displayed in /proc/mounts by show_options to
666 be more consistent with other filesystems.
670 Fix delete of readonly file to Windows servers. Reflect
671 presence or absence of read only dos attribute in mode
672 bits for servers that do not support CIFS Unix extensions.
673 Fix shortened results on readdir of large directories to
674 servers supporting CIFS Unix extensions (caused by
675 incorrect resume key).
679 Fix truncate bug (set file size) that could cause hangs e.g. running fsx
683 unload nls if mount fails.
687 Add resume key support to search (readdir) code to workaround
688 Windows bug. Add /proc/fs/cifs/LookupCacheEnable which
689 allows disabling caching of attribute information for
694 Add more oplock handling (distributed caching code). Remove
695 dead code. Remove excessive stack space utilization from
700 Fix oops in get dfs referral (triggered when null path sent in to
701 mount). Add support for overriding rsize at mount time.
705 Fix buffer overrun in readdir which caused intermittent kernel oopses.
706 Fix writepage code to release kmap on write data. Allow "-ip=" new
707 mount option to be passed in on parameter distinct from the first part
708 (server name portion of) the UNC name. Allow override of the
709 tcp port of the target server via new mount option "-port="
713 Fix search handle leak on rewind. Fix setuid and gid so that they are
714 reflected in the local inode immediately. Cleanup of whitespace
715 to make 2.4 and 2.5 versions more consistent.
720 Fix signal sending so that captive thread (cifsd) exits on umount
721 (which was causing the warning in kmem_cache_free of the request buffers
722 at rmmod time). This had broken as a sideeffect of the recent global
723 kernel change to daemonize. Fix memory leak in readdir code which
724 showed up in "ls -R" (and applications that did search rewinding).
728 Reconnect tids and fids after session reconnection (still do not
729 reconnect byte range locks though). Fix problem caching
730 lookup information for directory inodes, improving performance,
731 especially in deep directory trees. Fix various build warnings.
735 Finish fixes to commit write for caching/readahead consistency. fsx
736 now works to Samba servers. Fix oops caused when readahead
737 was interrupted by a signal.
741 Fix data corruption (in partial page after truncate) that caused fsx to
742 fail to Windows servers. Cleaned up some extraneous error logging in
743 common error paths. Add generic sendfile support.
747 Fix memory leak in AllocMidQEntry.
748 Finish reconnection logic, so connection with server can be dropped
749 (or server rebooted) and the cifs client will reconnect.
753 Fix temporary socket leak when bad userid or password specified
754 (or other SMBSessSetup failure). Increase maximum buffer size to slightly
755 over 16K to allow negotiation of up to Samba and Windows server default read
756 sizes. Add support for readpages
760 Fix oops when username not passed in on mount. Extensive fixes and improvements
761 to error logging (strip redundant newlines, change debug macros to ensure newline
762 passed in and to be more consistent). Fix writepage wrong file handle problem,
763 a readonly file handle could be incorrectly used to attempt to write out
764 file updates through the page cache to multiply open files. This could cause
765 the iozone benchmark to fail on the fwrite test. Fix bug mounting two different
766 shares to the same Windows server when using different usernames
767 (doing this to Samba servers worked but Windows was rejecting it) - now it is
768 possible to use different userids when connecting to the same server from a
769 Linux client. Fix oops when treeDisconnect called during unmount on
770 previously freed socket.
774 Fix oops in readpages caused by not setting address space operations in inode in
779 Includes support for deleting of open files and renaming over existing files (per POSIX
780 requirement). Add readlink support for Windows junction points (directory symlinks).
784 Changed read and write to go through pagecache. Added additional address space operations.
785 Memory mapped operations now working.
789 Added writepage code for additional memory mapping support. Fixed leak in xids causing
790 the simultaneous operations counter (/proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps) to increase on
791 every stat call. Additional formatting cleanup.
795 Fix bigendian bug in order of time conversion. Merge 2.5 to 2.4 version. Formatting cleanup.
799 Fixes from Zwane Mwaikambo for adding missing return code checking in a few places.
800 Also included a modified version of his fix to protect global list manipulation of
801 the smb session and tree connection and mid related global variables.
805 Fix problem with captive thread hanging around at unmount time. Adjust to 2.5.42-pre
806 changes to superblock layout. Remove wasteful allocation of smb buffers (now the send
807 buffer is reused for responses). Add more oplock handling. Additional minor cleanup.
811 More stylistic updates to better match kernel style. Add additional statistics
812 for filesystem which can be viewed via /proc/fs/cifs. Add more pieces of NTLMv2
813 and CIFS Packet Signing enablement.
817 Replace call to sleep_on with safer wait_on_event.
818 Make stylistic changes to better match kernel style recommendations.
819 Remove most typedef usage (except for the PDUs themselves).
823 Update mount so the -unc mount option is no longer required (the ip address can be specified
824 in a UNC style device name. Implementation of readpage/writepage started.
828 Fix intermittent problem with incorrect smb header checking on badly
829 fragmented tcp responses
833 Fixes to setting of allocation size and file size.
837 Various 2.5.38 fixes. Now works on 2.5.38
841 Prepare for 2.5 kernel merge. Remove ifdefs.
845 Socket buffer management fixes. Fix dual free.
849 Various big endian fixes for hardlinks and symlinks and also for dfs.
853 Various big endian fixes for servers with Unix extensions such as Samba
857 Various FindNext fixes for incorrect filenames on large directory searches on big endian
858 clients. basic posix file i/o tests now work on big endian machines, not just le
862 SessionSetup and NegotiateProtocol now work from Big Endian machines.
863 Various Big Endian fixes found during testing on the Linux on 390. Various fixes for compatibility with older
864 versions of 2.4 kernel (now builds and works again on kernels at least as early as 2.4.7).
868 Various minor fixes for Connectathon Posix "basic" file i/o test suite. Directory caching fixed so hardlinked
869 files now return the correct number of links on fstat as they are repeatedly linked and unlinked.
873 Implemented "Raw" (i.e. not encapsulated in SPNEGO) NTLMSSP (i.e. the Security Provider Interface used to negotiate
874 session advanced session authentication). Raw NTLMSSP is preferred by Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP.
875 Began implementing support for SPNEGO encapsulation of NTLMSSP based session authentication blobs
876 (which is the mechanism preferred by Windows 2000 server in the absence of Kerberos).
880 Introduced optional mount helper utility mount.cifs and made coreq changes to cifs vfs to enable
881 it. Fixed a few bugs in the DFS code (e.g. bcc two bytes too short and incorrect uid in PDU).
885 Rewrote much of connection and mount/unmount logic to handle bugs with
886 multiple uses to same share, multiple users to same server etc.
890 Fixed major problem with dentry corruption (missing call to dput)
894 Rewrite of readdir code to fix bug. Various fixes for bigendian machines.
895 Begin adding oplock support. Multiusermount and oplockEnabled flags added to /proc/fs/cifs
896 although corresponding function not fully implemented in the vfs yet
900 Fixed dentry caching bug, misc. cleanup
904 Fixed 2.5 support to handle build and configure changes as well as misc. 2.5 changes. Now can build
905 on current 2.5 beta version (2.5.24) of the Linux kernel as well as on 2.4 Linux kernels.
906 Support for STATUS codes (newer 32 bit NT error codes) added. DFS support begun to be added.
910 Unix extensions (symlink, readlink, hardlink, chmod and some chgrp and chown) implemented
911 and tested against Samba 2.2.5
916 1) Fixed lockrange to be correct (it was one byte too short)
918 2) Fixed GETLK (i.e. the fcntl call to test a range of bytes in a file to see if locked) to correctly
919 show range as locked when there is a conflict with an existing lock.
921 3) default file perms are now 2767 (indicating support for mandatory locks) instead of 777 for directories
922 in most cases. Eventually will offer optional ability to query server for the correct perms.
924 3) Fixed eventual trap when mounting twice to different shares on the same server when the first succeeded
925 but the second one was invalid and failed (the second one was incorrectly disconnecting the tcp and smb
928 4) Fixed error logging of valid mount options
930 5) Removed logging of password field.
932 6) Moved negotiate, treeDisconnect and uloggoffX (only tConx and SessSetup remain in connect.c) to cifssmb.c
933 and cleaned them up and made them more consistent with other cifs functions.
935 7) Server support for Unix extensions is now fully detected and FindFirst is implemented both ways
936 (with or without Unix extensions) but FindNext and QueryPathInfo with the Unix extensions are not completed,
937 nor is the symlink support using the Unix extensions
939 8) Started adding the readlink and follow_link code
