3 Fix oops in list_del during mount caused by unaligned string.
4 Fix file corruption which could occur on some large file
5 copies caused by writepages page i/o completion bug.
6 Seek to SEEK_END forces check for update of file size for non-cached
7 files. Allow file size to be updated on remote extend of locally open,
8 non-cached file. Fix reconnect to newer Samba servers (or other servers
9 which support the CIFS Unix/POSIX extensions) so that we again tell the
10 server the Unix/POSIX cifs capabilities which we support (SetFSInfo).
11 Add experimental support for new POSIX Open/Mkdir (which returns
12 stat information on the open, and allows setting the mode).
16 Support deep tree mounts. Better support OS/2, Win9x (DOS) time stamps.
17 Allow null user to be specified on mount ("username="). Do not return
18 EINVAL on readdir when filldir fails due to overwritten blocksize
19 (fixes FC problem). Return error in rename 2nd attempt retry (ie report
20 if rename by handle also fails, after rename by path fails, we were
21 not reporting whether the retry worked or not). Fix NTLMv2 to
22 work to Windows servers (mount with option "sec=ntlmv2").
26 Do not time out lockw calls when using posix extensions. Do not
27 time out requests if server still responding reasonably fast
28 on requests on other threads. Improve POSIX locking emulation,
29 (lock cancel now works, and unlock of merged range works even
30 to Windows servers now). Fix oops on mount to lanman servers
31 (win9x, os/2 etc.) when null password. Do not send listxattr
32 (SMB to query all EAs) if nouser_xattr specified. Fix SE Linux
33 problem (instantiate inodes/dentries in right order for readdir).
37 Rewritten sessionsetup support, including support for legacy SMB
38 session setup needed for OS/2 and older servers such as Windows 95 and 98.
39 Fix oops on ls to OS/2 servers. Add support for level 1 FindFirst
40 so we can do search (ls etc.) to OS/2. Do not send NTCreateX
41 or recent levels of FindFirst unless server says it supports NT SMBs
42 (instead use legacy equivalents from LANMAN dialect). Fix to allow
43 NTLMv2 authentication support (now can use stronger password hashing
44 on mount if corresponding /proc/fs/cifs/SecurityFlags is set (0x4004).
45 Allow override of global cifs security flags on mount via "sec=" option(s).
49 POSIX locking to servers which support CIFS POSIX Extensions
50 (disabled by default controlled by proc/fs/cifs/Experimental).
51 Handle conversion of long share names (especially Asian languages)
52 to Unicode during mount. Fix memory leak in sess struct on reconnect.
53 Fix rare oops after acpi suspend. Fix O_TRUNC opens to overwrite on
54 cifs open which helps rare case when setpathinfo fails or server does
59 Fix slow oplock break when mounted to different servers at the same time and
60 the tids match and we try to find matching fid on wrong server. Fix read
61 looping when signing required by server (2.6.16 kernel only). Fix readdir
62 vs. rename race which could cause each to hang. Return . and .. even
63 if server does not. Allow searches to skip first three entries and
64 begin at any location. Fix oops in find_writeable_file.
68 Fix NTLMv2 security (can be enabled in /proc/fs/cifs) so customers can
69 configure stronger authentication. Fix sfu symlinks so they can
70 be followed (not just recognized). Fix wraparound of bcc on
71 read responses when buffer size over 64K and also fix wrap of
72 max smb buffer size when CIFSMaxBufSize over 64K. Fix oops in
73 cifs_user_read and cifs_readpages (when EAGAIN on send of smb
74 on socket is returned over and over). Add POSIX (advisory) byte range
75 locking support (requires server with newest CIFS UNIX Extensions
76 to the protocol implemented). Slow down negprot slightly in port 139
77 RFC1001 case to give session_init time on buggy servers.
81 Use fsuid (fsgid) more consistently instead of uid (gid). Improve performance
82 of readpages by eliminating one extra memcpy. Allow update of file size
83 from remote server even if file is open for write as long as mount is
84 directio. Recognize share mode security and send NTLM encrypted password
85 on tree connect if share mode negotiated.
89 Defer close of a file handle slightly if pending writes depend on that handle
90 (this reduces the EBADF bad file handle errors that can be logged under heavy
91 stress on writes). Modify cifs Kconfig options to expose CONFIG_CIFS_STATS2
92 Fix SFU style symlinks and mknod needed for servers which do not support the
93 CIFS Unix Extensions. Fix setfacl/getfacl on bigendian. Timeout negative
94 dentries so files that the client sees as deleted but that later get created
95 on the server will be recognized. Add client side permission check on setattr.
96 Timeout stuck requests better (where server has never responded or sent corrupt
101 Fix tcp socket retransmission timeouts (e.g. on ENOSPACE from the socket)
102 to be smaller at first (but increasing) so large write performance performance
103 over GigE is better. Do not hang thread on illegal byte range lock response
104 from Windows (Windows can send an RFC1001 size which does not match smb size) by
105 allowing an SMBs TCP length to be up to a few bytes longer than it should be.
106 wsize and rsize can now be larger than negotiated buffer size if server
107 supports large readx/writex, even when directio mount flag not specified.
108 Write size will in many cases now be 16K instead of 4K which greatly helps
109 file copy performance on lightly loaded networks. Fix oops in dnotify
110 when experimental config flag enabled. Make cifsFYI more granular.
114 Fix readdir caching when unlink removes file in current search buffer,
115 and this is followed by a rewind search to just before the deleted entry.
116 Do not attempt to set ctime unless atime and/or mtime change requested
117 (most servers throw it away anyway). Fix length check of received smbs
118 to be more accurate. Fix big endian problem with mapchars mount option,
119 and with a field returned by statfs.
123 Add support for mounting to older pre-CIFS servers such as Windows9x and ME.
124 For these older servers, add option for passing netbios name of server in
125 on mount (servernetbiosname). Add suspend support for power management, to
126 avoid cifsd thread preventing software suspend from working.
127 Add mount option for disabling the default behavior of sending byte range lock
128 requests to the server (necessary for certain applications which break with
129 mandatory lock behavior such as Evolution), and also mount option for
130 requesting case insensitive matching for path based requests (requesting
131 case sensitive is the default).
135 Add writepage performance improvements. Fix path name conversions
136 for long filenames on mounts which were done with "mapchars" mount option
137 specified. Ensure multiplex ids do not collide. Fix case in which
138 rmmod can oops if done soon after last unmount. Fix truncated
139 search (readdir) output when resume filename was a long filename.
140 Fix filename conversion when mapchars mount option was specified and
141 filename was a long filename.
145 Fix error mapping of the TOO_MANY_LINKS (hardlinks) case.
146 Do not oops if root user kills cifs oplock kernel thread or
147 kills the cifsd thread (NB: killing the cifs kernel threads is not
148 recommended, unmount and rmmod cifs will kill them when they are
149 no longer needed). Fix readdir to ASCII servers (ie older servers
150 which do not support Unicode) and also require asterisk.
151 Fix out of memory case in which data could be written one page
152 off in the page cache.
156 Fix caching problem, in which readdir of directory containing a file
157 which was cached could cause the file's time stamp to be updated
158 without invalidating the readahead data (so we could get stale
159 file data on the client for that file even as the server copy changed).
160 Cleanup response processing so cifsd can not loop when abnormally
166 Fix oops in ls when Transact2 FindFirst (or FindNext) returns more than one
167 transact response for an SMB request and search entry split across two frames.
168 Add support for lsattr (getting ext2/ext3/reiserfs attr flags from the server)
169 as new protocol extensions. Do not send Get/Set calls for POSIX ACLs
170 unless server explicitly claims to support them in CIFS Unix extensions
171 POSIX ACL capability bit. Fix packet signing when multiuser mounting with
172 different users from the same client to the same server. Fix oops in
173 cifs_close. Add mount option for remapping reserved characters in
174 filenames (also allow recognizing files with created by SFU which have any
175 of these seven reserved characters, except backslash, to be recognized).
176 Fix invalid transact2 message (we were sometimes trying to interpret
177 oplock breaks as SMB responses). Add ioctl for checking that the
178 current uid matches the uid of the mounter (needed by umount.cifs).
179 Reduce the number of large buffer allocations in cifs response processing
180 (significantly reduces memory pressure under heavy stress with multiple
181 processes accessing the same server at the same time).
185 Fix updates of DOS attributes and time fields so that files on NT4 servers
186 do not get marked delete on close. Display sizes of cifs buffer pools in
187 cifs stats. Fix oops in unmount when cifsd thread being killed by
188 shutdown. Add generic readv/writev and aio support. Report inode numbers
189 consistently in readdir and lookup (when serverino mount option is
190 specified use the inode number that the server reports - for both lookup
191 and readdir, otherwise by default the locally generated inode number is used
192 for inodes created in either path since servers are not always able to
193 provide unique inode numbers when exporting multiple volumes from under one
198 Allow new nouser_xattr mount parm to disable xattr support for user namespace.
199 Do not flag user_xattr mount parm in dmesg. Retry failures setting file time
200 (mostly affects NT4 servers) by retry with handle based network operation.
201 Add new POSIX Query FS Info for returning statfs info more accurately.
202 Handle passwords with multiple commas in them.
206 Fix default mode in sysfs of cifs module parms. Remove old readdir routine.
207 Fix capabilities flags for large readx so as to allow reads larger than 64K.
211 Add module init parm for large SMB buffer size (to allow it to be changed
212 from its default of 16K) which is especially useful for large file copy
213 when mounting with the directio mount option. Fix oops after
214 returning from mount when experimental ExtendedSecurity enabled and
215 SpnegoNegotiated returning invalid error. Fix case to retry better when
216 peek returns from 1 to 3 bytes on socket which should have more data.
217 Fixed path based calls (such as cifs lookup) to handle path names
218 longer than 530 (now can handle PATH_MAX). Fix pass through authentication
219 from Samba server to DC (Samba required dummy LM password).
223 Turn off DNOTIFY (directory change notification support) by default
224 (unless built with the experimental flag) to fix hang with KDE
225 file browser. Fix DNOTIFY flag mappings. Fix hang (in wait_event
226 waiting on an SMB response) in SendReceive when session dies but
227 reconnects quickly from another task. Add module init parms for
228 minimum number of large and small network buffers in the buffer pools,
229 and for the maximum number of simultaneous requests.
233 Add setfacl support to allow setting of ACLs remotely to Samba 3.10 and later
234 and other POSIX CIFS compliant servers. Fix error mapping for getfacl
235 to EOPNOTSUPP when server does not support posix acls on the wire. Fix
236 improperly zeroed buffer in CIFS Unix extensions set times call.
240 Fix internationalization problem in cifs readdir with filenames that map to
241 longer UTF-8 strings than the string on the wire was in Unicode. Add workaround
242 for readdir to netapp servers. Fix search rewind (seek into readdir to return
243 non-consecutive entries). Do not do readdir when server negotiates
244 buffer size to small to fit filename. Add support for reading POSIX ACLs from
245 the server (add also acl and noacl mount options).
249 Optionally allow using server side inode numbers, rather than client generated
250 ones by specifying mount option "serverino" - this is required for some apps
251 to work which double check hardlinked files and have persistent inode numbers.
255 Multiple bigendian fixes. On little endian systems (for reconnect after
256 network failure) fix tcp session reconnect code so we do not try first
257 to reconnect on reverse of port 445. Treat reparse points (NTFS junctions)
258 as directories rather than symlinks because we can do follow link on them.
262 Add config option to enable XATTR (extended attribute) support, mapping
263 xattr names in the "user." namespace space to SMB/CIFS EAs. Lots of
264 minor fixes pointed out by the Stanford SWAT checker (mostly missing
265 or out of order NULL pointer checks in little used error paths).
269 Add new mount parm to control whether mode check (generic_permission) is done
270 on the client. If Unix extensions are enabled and the uids on the client
271 and server do not match, client permission checks are meaningless on
272 server uids that do not exist on the client (this does not affect the
273 normal ACL check which occurs on the server). Fix default uid
274 on mknod to match create and mkdir. Add optional mount parm to allow
275 override of the default uid behavior (in which the server sets the uid
276 and gid of newly created files). Normally for network filesystem mounts
277 user want the server to set the uid/gid on newly created files (rather than
278 using uid of the client processes you would in a local filesystem).
282 Make transaction counts more consistent. Merge /proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps
283 info into /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData. Fix oops in rare oops in readdir
284 (in build_wildcard_path_from_dentry). Fix mknod to pass type field
285 (block/char/fifo) properly. Remove spurious mount warning log entry when
286 credentials passed as mount argument. Set major/minor device number in
287 inode for block and char devices when unix extensions enabled.
291 Fix /proc/fs/cifs/Stats and DebugData display to handle larger
292 amounts of return data. Properly limit requests to MAX_REQ (50
293 is the usual maximum active multiplex SMB/CIFS requests per server).
294 Do not kill cifsd (and thus hurt the other SMB session) when more than one
295 session to the same server (but with different userids) exists and one
296 of the two user's smb sessions is being removed while leaving the other.
297 Do not loop reconnecting in cifsd demultiplex thread when admin
298 kills the thread without going through unmount.
302 Do not rename hardlinked files (since that should be a noop). Flush
303 cached write behind data when reopening a file after session abend,
304 except when already in write. Grab per socket sem during reconnect
305 to avoid oops in sendmsg if overlapping with reconnect. Do not
306 reset cached inode file size on readdir for files open for write on
312 Update number of blocks in file so du command is happier (in Linux a fake
313 blocksize of 512 is required for calculating number of blocks in inode).
314 Fix prepare write of partial pages to read in data from server if possible.
315 Fix race on tcpStatus field between unmount and reconnection code, causing
316 cifsd process sometimes to hang around forever. Improve out of memory
317 checks in cifs_filldir
321 Fix incorrect file size in file handle based setattr on big endian hardware.
322 Fix oops in build_path_from_dentry when out of memory. Add checks for invalid
323 and closing file structs in writepage/partialpagewrite. Add statistics
324 for each mounted share (new menuconfig option). Fix endianness problem in
325 volume information displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData (only affects
326 affects big endian architectures). Prevent renames while constructing
327 path names for open, mkdir and rmdir.
331 Change to mempools for alloc smb request buffers and multiplex structs
332 to better handle low memory problems (and potential deadlocks).
336 Fix incomplete listings of large directories on Samba servers when Unix
337 extensions enabled. Fix oops when smb_buffer can not be allocated. Fix
338 rename deadlock when writing out dirty pages at same time.
342 Fix open of files in which O_CREATE can cause the mode to change in
343 some cases. Fix case in which retry of write overlaps file close.
344 Fix PPC64 build error. Reduce excessive stack usage in smb password
345 hashing. Fix overwrite of Linux user's view of file mode to Windows servers.
349 Fixes for large file copy, signal handling, socket retry, buffer
350 allocation and low memory situations.
354 Better port 139 support to Windows servers (RFC1001/RFC1002 Session_Initialize)
355 also now allowing support for specifying client netbiosname. NT4 support added.
359 Fix reconnection (and certain failed mounts) to properly wake up the
360 blocked users thread so it does not seem hung (in some cases was blocked
361 until the cifs receive timeout expired). Fix spurious error logging
362 to kernel log when application with open network files killed.
366 Fix /proc/fs module unload warning message (that could be logged
367 to the kernel log). Fix intermittent failure in connectathon
368 test7 (hardlink count not immediately refreshed in case in which
369 inode metadata can be incorrectly kept cached when time near zero)
373 Allow file_mode and dir_mode (specified at mount time) to be enforced
374 locally (the server already enforced its own ACLs too) for servers
375 that do not report the correct mode (do not support the
376 CIFS Unix Extensions).
380 Fix some small memory leaks in some unmount error paths. Fix major leak
381 of cache pages in readpages causing multiple read oriented stress
382 testcases (including fsx, and even large file copy) to fail over time.
386 Send NTCreateX with ATTR_POSIX if Linux/Unix extensions negotiated with server.
387 This allows files that differ only in case and improves performance of file
388 creation and file open to such servers. Fix semaphore conflict which causes
389 slow delete of open file to Samba (which unfortunately can cause an oplock
390 break to self while vfs_unlink held i_sem) which can hang for 20 seconds.
394 fixes to cifs_readpages for fsx test case
398 Fix caching data integrity bug when extending file size especially when no
399 oplock on file. Fix spurious logging of valid already parsed mount options
400 that are parsed outside of the cifs vfs such as nosuid.
405 Connect to server when port number override not specified, and tcp port
406 unitialized. Reset search to restart at correct file when kernel routine
407 filldir returns error during large directory searches (readdir).
411 Fix caching problem when files opened by multiple clients in which
412 page cache could contain stale data, and write through did
413 not occur often enough while file was still open when read ahead
414 (read oplock) not allowed. Treat "sep=" when first mount option
415 as an override of comma as the default separator between mount
420 Allow passwords longer than 16 bytes. Allow null password string.
424 Gracefully clean up failed mounts when attempting to mount to servers such as
425 Windows 98 that terminate tcp sessions during protocol negotiation. Handle
426 embedded commas in mount parsing of passwords.
430 Invalidate local inode cached pages on oplock break and when last file
431 instance is closed so that the client does not continue using stale local
432 copy rather than later modified server copy of file. Do not reconnect
433 when server drops the tcp session prematurely before negotiate
434 protocol response. Fix oops in reopen_file when dentry freed. Allow
435 the support for CIFS Unix Extensions to be disabled via proc interface.
439 Fix hang in commit_write during reconnection of open files under heavy load.
440 Fix unload_nls oops in a mount failure path. Serialize writes to same socket
441 which also fixes any possible races when cifs signatures are enabled in SMBs
442 being sent out of signature sequence number order.
446 Fix byte range locking bug (endian problem) causing bad offset and
451 Fix oops (in send_sig) caused by CIFS unmount code trying to
452 wake up the demultiplex thread after it had exited. Do not log
453 error on harmless oplock release of closed handle.
457 Fix unsafe global variable usage and password hash failure on gcc 3.3.1
458 Fix problem reconnecting secondary mounts to same server after session
459 failure. Fix invalid dentry - race in mkdir when directory gets created
460 by another client between the lookup and mkdir.
464 Fix to list processing in reopen_files. Fix reconnection when server hung
465 but tcpip session still alive. Set proper timeout on socket read.
469 Add missing mount options including iocharset. SMP fixes in write and open.
470 Fix errors in reconnecting after TCP session failure. Fix module unloading
471 of default nls codepage
475 Active smb transactions should never go negative (fix double FreeXid). Fix
476 list processing in file routines. Check return code on kmalloc in open.
477 Fix spinlock usage for SMP.
481 Fix oops in reopen_files when invalid dentry. drop dentry on server rename
482 and on revalidate errors. Fix cases where pid is now tgid. Fix return code
483 on create hard link when server does not support them.
487 Fix scheduling while atomic error in getting inode info on newly created file.
488 Fix truncate of existing files opened with O_CREAT but not O_TRUNC set.
492 Fix oops on write to dead tcp session. Remove error log write for case when file open
493 O_CREAT but not O_EXCL
497 Fix non-POSIX behavior on rename of open file and delete of open file by taking
498 advantage of trans2 SetFileInfo rename facility if available on target server.
499 Retry on ENOSPC and EAGAIN socket errors.
503 Fix oops on big endian readdir. Set blksize to be even power of two (2**blkbits) to fix
504 allocation size miscalculation. After oplock token lost do not read through
509 Fix oops on empty file readahead. Fix for file size handling for locally cached files.
513 Fix oops in mkdir when server fails to return inode info. Fix oops in reopen_files
514 during auto reconnection to server after server recovered from failure.
518 Finish support for Linux 2.5 open/create changes, which removes the
519 redundant NTCreate/QPathInfo/close that was sent during file create.
520 Enable oplock by default. Enable packet signing by default (needed to
521 access many recent Windows servers)
525 Fix oops when mounting to long server names caused by inverted parms to kmalloc.
526 Fix MultiuserMount (/proc/fs/cifs configuration setting) so that when enabled
527 we will choose a cifs user session (smb uid) that better matches the local
528 uid if a) the mount uid does not match the current uid and b) we have another
529 session to the same server (ip address) for a different mount which
530 matches the current local uid.
534 Add support for mknod of block or character devices. Fix oplock
535 code (distributed caching) to properly send response to oplock
540 Finish up CIFS packet digital signing for the default
541 NTLM security case. This should help Windows 2003
542 network interoperability since it is common for
543 packet signing to be required now. Fix statfs (stat -f)
544 which recently started returning errors due to
545 invalid value (-1 instead of 0) being set in the
546 struct kstatfs f_ffiles field.
550 Fix oops on stopping oplock thread when removing cifs when
555 Fix mount options for ro (readonly), uid, gid and file and directory mode.
559 Fix errors displayed on failed mounts to be more understandable.
560 Fixed various incorrect or misleading smb to posix error code mappings.
564 Fix display of NTFS DFS junctions to display as symlinks.
565 They are the network equivalent. Fix oops in
566 cifs_partialpagewrite caused by missing spinlock protection
567 of openfile linked list. Allow writebehind caching errors to
568 be returned to the application at file close.
572 Clean up options displayed in /proc/mounts by show_options to
573 be more consistent with other filesystems.
577 Fix delete of readonly file to Windows servers. Reflect
578 presence or absence of read only dos attribute in mode
579 bits for servers that do not support CIFS Unix extensions.
580 Fix shortened results on readdir of large directories to
581 servers supporting CIFS Unix extensions (caused by
582 incorrect resume key).
586 Fix truncate bug (set file size) that could cause hangs e.g. running fsx
590 unload nls if mount fails.
594 Add resume key support to search (readdir) code to workaround
595 Windows bug. Add /proc/fs/cifs/LookupCacheEnable which
596 allows disabling caching of attribute information for
601 Add more oplock handling (distributed caching code). Remove
602 dead code. Remove excessive stack space utilization from
607 Fix oops in get dfs referral (triggered when null path sent in to
608 mount). Add support for overriding rsize at mount time.
612 Fix buffer overrun in readdir which caused intermittent kernel oopses.
613 Fix writepage code to release kmap on write data. Allow "-ip=" new
614 mount option to be passed in on parameter distinct from the first part
615 (server name portion of) the UNC name. Allow override of the
616 tcp port of the target server via new mount option "-port="
620 Fix search handle leak on rewind. Fix setuid and gid so that they are
621 reflected in the local inode immediately. Cleanup of whitespace
622 to make 2.4 and 2.5 versions more consistent.
627 Fix signal sending so that captive thread (cifsd) exits on umount
628 (which was causing the warning in kmem_cache_free of the request buffers
629 at rmmod time). This had broken as a sideeffect of the recent global
630 kernel change to daemonize. Fix memory leak in readdir code which
631 showed up in "ls -R" (and applications that did search rewinding).
635 Reconnect tids and fids after session reconnection (still do not
636 reconnect byte range locks though). Fix problem caching
637 lookup information for directory inodes, improving performance,
638 especially in deep directory trees. Fix various build warnings.
642 Finish fixes to commit write for caching/readahead consistency. fsx
643 now works to Samba servers. Fix oops caused when readahead
644 was interrupted by a signal.
648 Fix data corruption (in partial page after truncate) that caused fsx to
649 fail to Windows servers. Cleaned up some extraneous error logging in
650 common error paths. Add generic sendfile support.
654 Fix memory leak in AllocMidQEntry.
655 Finish reconnection logic, so connection with server can be dropped
656 (or server rebooted) and the cifs client will reconnect.
660 Fix temporary socket leak when bad userid or password specified
661 (or other SMBSessSetup failure). Increase maximum buffer size to slightly
662 over 16K to allow negotiation of up to Samba and Windows server default read
663 sizes. Add support for readpages
667 Fix oops when username not passed in on mount. Extensive fixes and improvements
668 to error logging (strip redundant newlines, change debug macros to ensure newline
669 passed in and to be more consistent). Fix writepage wrong file handle problem,
670 a readonly file handle could be incorrectly used to attempt to write out
671 file updates through the page cache to multiply open files. This could cause
672 the iozone benchmark to fail on the fwrite test. Fix bug mounting two different
673 shares to the same Windows server when using different usernames
674 (doing this to Samba servers worked but Windows was rejecting it) - now it is
675 possible to use different userids when connecting to the same server from a
676 Linux client. Fix oops when treeDisconnect called during unmount on
677 previously freed socket.
681 Fix oops in readpages caused by not setting address space operations in inode in
686 Includes support for deleting of open files and renaming over existing files (per POSIX
687 requirement). Add readlink support for Windows junction points (directory symlinks).
691 Changed read and write to go through pagecache. Added additional address space operations.
692 Memory mapped operations now working.
696 Added writepage code for additional memory mapping support. Fixed leak in xids causing
697 the simultaneous operations counter (/proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps) to increase on
698 every stat call. Additional formatting cleanup.
702 Fix bigendian bug in order of time conversion. Merge 2.5 to 2.4 version. Formatting cleanup.
706 Fixes from Zwane Mwaikambo for adding missing return code checking in a few places.
707 Also included a modified version of his fix to protect global list manipulation of
708 the smb session and tree connection and mid related global variables.
712 Fix problem with captive thread hanging around at unmount time. Adjust to 2.5.42-pre
713 changes to superblock layout. Remove wasteful allocation of smb buffers (now the send
714 buffer is reused for responses). Add more oplock handling. Additional minor cleanup.
718 More stylistic updates to better match kernel style. Add additional statistics
719 for filesystem which can be viewed via /proc/fs/cifs. Add more pieces of NTLMv2
720 and CIFS Packet Signing enablement.
724 Replace call to sleep_on with safer wait_on_event.
725 Make stylistic changes to better match kernel style recommendations.
726 Remove most typedef usage (except for the PDUs themselves).
730 Update mount so the -unc mount option is no longer required (the ip address can be specified
731 in a UNC style device name. Implementation of readpage/writepage started.
735 Fix intermittent problem with incorrect smb header checking on badly
736 fragmented tcp responses
740 Fixes to setting of allocation size and file size.
744 Various 2.5.38 fixes. Now works on 2.5.38
748 Prepare for 2.5 kernel merge. Remove ifdefs.
752 Socket buffer management fixes. Fix dual free.
756 Various big endian fixes for hardlinks and symlinks and also for dfs.
760 Various big endian fixes for servers with Unix extensions such as Samba
764 Various FindNext fixes for incorrect filenames on large directory searches on big endian
765 clients. basic posix file i/o tests now work on big endian machines, not just le
769 SessionSetup and NegotiateProtocol now work from Big Endian machines.
770 Various Big Endian fixes found during testing on the Linux on 390. Various fixes for compatibility with older
771 versions of 2.4 kernel (now builds and works again on kernels at least as early as 2.4.7).
775 Various minor fixes for Connectathon Posix "basic" file i/o test suite. Directory caching fixed so hardlinked
776 files now return the correct number of links on fstat as they are repeatedly linked and unlinked.
780 Implemented "Raw" (i.e. not encapsulated in SPNEGO) NTLMSSP (i.e. the Security Provider Interface used to negotiate
781 session advanced session authentication). Raw NTLMSSP is preferred by Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP.
782 Began implementing support for SPNEGO encapsulation of NTLMSSP based session authentication blobs
783 (which is the mechanism preferred by Windows 2000 server in the absence of Kerberos).
787 Introduced optional mount helper utility mount.cifs and made coreq changes to cifs vfs to enable
788 it. Fixed a few bugs in the DFS code (e.g. bcc two bytes too short and incorrect uid in PDU).
792 Rewrote much of connection and mount/unmount logic to handle bugs with
793 multiple uses to same share, multiple users to same server etc.
797 Fixed major problem with dentry corruption (missing call to dput)
801 Rewrite of readdir code to fix bug. Various fixes for bigendian machines.
802 Begin adding oplock support. Multiusermount and oplockEnabled flags added to /proc/fs/cifs
803 although corresponding function not fully implemented in the vfs yet
807 Fixed dentry caching bug, misc. cleanup
811 Fixed 2.5 support to handle build and configure changes as well as misc. 2.5 changes. Now can build
812 on current 2.5 beta version (2.5.24) of the Linux kernel as well as on 2.4 Linux kernels.
813 Support for STATUS codes (newer 32 bit NT error codes) added. DFS support begun to be added.
817 Unix extensions (symlink, readlink, hardlink, chmod and some chgrp and chown) implemented
818 and tested against Samba 2.2.5
823 1) Fixed lockrange to be correct (it was one byte too short)
825 2) Fixed GETLK (i.e. the fcntl call to test a range of bytes in a file to see if locked) to correctly
826 show range as locked when there is a conflict with an existing lock.
828 3) default file perms are now 2767 (indicating support for mandatory locks) instead of 777 for directories
829 in most cases. Eventually will offer optional ability to query server for the correct perms.
831 3) Fixed eventual trap when mounting twice to different shares on the same server when the first succeeded
832 but the second one was invalid and failed (the second one was incorrectly disconnecting the tcp and smb
835 4) Fixed error logging of valid mount options
837 5) Removed logging of password field.
839 6) Moved negotiate, treeDisconnect and uloggoffX (only tConx and SessSetup remain in connect.c) to cifssmb.c
840 and cleaned them up and made them more consistent with other cifs functions.
842 7) Server support for Unix extensions is now fully detected and FindFirst is implemented both ways
843 (with or without Unix extensions) but FindNext and QueryPathInfo with the Unix extensions are not completed,
844 nor is the symlink support using the Unix extensions
846 8) Started adding the readlink and follow_link code
