3 Support deep tree mounts. Better support OS/2, Win9x (DOS) time stamps.
7 Do not time out lockw calls when using posix extensions. Do not
8 time out requests if server still responding reasonably fast
9 on requests on other threads. Improve POSIX locking emulation,
10 (lock cancel now works, and unlock of merged range works even
11 to Windows servers now). Fix oops on mount to lanman servers
12 (win9x, os/2 etc.) when null password. Do not send listxattr
13 (SMB to query all EAs) if nouser_xattr specified. Fix SE Linux
14 problem (instantiate inodes/dentries in right order for readdir).
18 Rewritten sessionsetup support, including support for legacy SMB
19 session setup needed for OS/2 and older servers such as Windows 95 and 98.
20 Fix oops on ls to OS/2 servers. Add support for level 1 FindFirst
21 so we can do search (ls etc.) to OS/2. Do not send NTCreateX
22 or recent levels of FindFirst unless server says it supports NT SMBs
23 (instead use legacy equivalents from LANMAN dialect). Fix to allow
24 NTLMv2 authentication support (now can use stronger password hashing
25 on mount if corresponding /proc/fs/cifs/SecurityFlags is set (0x4004).
26 Allow override of global cifs security flags on mount via "sec=" option(s).
30 POSIX locking to servers which support CIFS POSIX Extensions
31 (disabled by default controlled by proc/fs/cifs/Experimental).
32 Handle conversion of long share names (especially Asian languages)
33 to Unicode during mount. Fix memory leak in sess struct on reconnect.
34 Fix rare oops after acpi suspend. Fix O_TRUNC opens to overwrite on
35 cifs open which helps rare case when setpathinfo fails or server does
40 Fix slow oplock break when mounted to different servers at the same time and
41 the tids match and we try to find matching fid on wrong server. Fix read
42 looping when signing required by server (2.6.16 kernel only). Fix readdir
43 vs. rename race which could cause each to hang. Return . and .. even
44 if server does not. Allow searches to skip first three entries and
45 begin at any location. Fix oops in find_writeable_file.
49 Fix NTLMv2 security (can be enabled in /proc/fs/cifs) so customers can
50 configure stronger authentication. Fix sfu symlinks so they can
51 be followed (not just recognized). Fix wraparound of bcc on
52 read responses when buffer size over 64K and also fix wrap of
53 max smb buffer size when CIFSMaxBufSize over 64K. Fix oops in
54 cifs_user_read and cifs_readpages (when EAGAIN on send of smb
55 on socket is returned over and over). Add POSIX (advisory) byte range
56 locking support (requires server with newest CIFS UNIX Extensions
57 to the protocol implemented). Slow down negprot slightly in port 139
58 RFC1001 case to give session_init time on buggy servers.
62 Use fsuid (fsgid) more consistently instead of uid (gid). Improve performance
63 of readpages by eliminating one extra memcpy. Allow update of file size
64 from remote server even if file is open for write as long as mount is
65 directio. Recognize share mode security and send NTLM encrypted password
66 on tree connect if share mode negotiated.
70 Defer close of a file handle slightly if pending writes depend on that handle
71 (this reduces the EBADF bad file handle errors that can be logged under heavy
72 stress on writes). Modify cifs Kconfig options to expose CONFIG_CIFS_STATS2
73 Fix SFU style symlinks and mknod needed for servers which do not support the
74 CIFS Unix Extensions. Fix setfacl/getfacl on bigendian. Timeout negative
75 dentries so files that the client sees as deleted but that later get created
76 on the server will be recognized. Add client side permission check on setattr.
77 Timeout stuck requests better (where server has never responded or sent corrupt
82 Fix tcp socket retransmission timeouts (e.g. on ENOSPACE from the socket)
83 to be smaller at first (but increasing) so large write performance performance
84 over GigE is better. Do not hang thread on illegal byte range lock response
85 from Windows (Windows can send an RFC1001 size which does not match smb size) by
86 allowing an SMBs TCP length to be up to a few bytes longer than it should be.
87 wsize and rsize can now be larger than negotiated buffer size if server
88 supports large readx/writex, even when directio mount flag not specified.
89 Write size will in many cases now be 16K instead of 4K which greatly helps
90 file copy performance on lightly loaded networks. Fix oops in dnotify
91 when experimental config flag enabled. Make cifsFYI more granular.
95 Fix readdir caching when unlink removes file in current search buffer,
96 and this is followed by a rewind search to just before the deleted entry.
97 Do not attempt to set ctime unless atime and/or mtime change requested
98 (most servers throw it away anyway). Fix length check of received smbs
99 to be more accurate. Fix big endian problem with mapchars mount option,
100 and with a field returned by statfs.
104 Add support for mounting to older pre-CIFS servers such as Windows9x and ME.
105 For these older servers, add option for passing netbios name of server in
106 on mount (servernetbiosname). Add suspend support for power management, to
107 avoid cifsd thread preventing software suspend from working.
108 Add mount option for disabling the default behavior of sending byte range lock
109 requests to the server (necessary for certain applications which break with
110 mandatory lock behavior such as Evolution), and also mount option for
111 requesting case insensitive matching for path based requests (requesting
112 case sensitive is the default).
116 Add writepage performance improvements. Fix path name conversions
117 for long filenames on mounts which were done with "mapchars" mount option
118 specified. Ensure multiplex ids do not collide. Fix case in which
119 rmmod can oops if done soon after last unmount. Fix truncated
120 search (readdir) output when resume filename was a long filename.
121 Fix filename conversion when mapchars mount option was specified and
122 filename was a long filename.
126 Fix error mapping of the TOO_MANY_LINKS (hardlinks) case.
127 Do not oops if root user kills cifs oplock kernel thread or
128 kills the cifsd thread (NB: killing the cifs kernel threads is not
129 recommended, unmount and rmmod cifs will kill them when they are
130 no longer needed). Fix readdir to ASCII servers (ie older servers
131 which do not support Unicode) and also require asterisk.
132 Fix out of memory case in which data could be written one page
133 off in the page cache.
137 Fix caching problem, in which readdir of directory containing a file
138 which was cached could cause the file's time stamp to be updated
139 without invalidating the readahead data (so we could get stale
140 file data on the client for that file even as the server copy changed).
141 Cleanup response processing so cifsd can not loop when abnormally
147 Fix oops in ls when Transact2 FindFirst (or FindNext) returns more than one
148 transact response for an SMB request and search entry split across two frames.
149 Add support for lsattr (getting ext2/ext3/reiserfs attr flags from the server)
150 as new protocol extensions. Do not send Get/Set calls for POSIX ACLs
151 unless server explicitly claims to support them in CIFS Unix extensions
152 POSIX ACL capability bit. Fix packet signing when multiuser mounting with
153 different users from the same client to the same server. Fix oops in
154 cifs_close. Add mount option for remapping reserved characters in
155 filenames (also allow recognizing files with created by SFU which have any
156 of these seven reserved characters, except backslash, to be recognized).
157 Fix invalid transact2 message (we were sometimes trying to interpret
158 oplock breaks as SMB responses). Add ioctl for checking that the
159 current uid matches the uid of the mounter (needed by umount.cifs).
160 Reduce the number of large buffer allocations in cifs response processing
161 (significantly reduces memory pressure under heavy stress with multiple
162 processes accessing the same server at the same time).
166 Fix updates of DOS attributes and time fields so that files on NT4 servers
167 do not get marked delete on close. Display sizes of cifs buffer pools in
168 cifs stats. Fix oops in unmount when cifsd thread being killed by
169 shutdown. Add generic readv/writev and aio support. Report inode numbers
170 consistently in readdir and lookup (when serverino mount option is
171 specified use the inode number that the server reports - for both lookup
172 and readdir, otherwise by default the locally generated inode number is used
173 for inodes created in either path since servers are not always able to
174 provide unique inode numbers when exporting multiple volumes from under one
179 Allow new nouser_xattr mount parm to disable xattr support for user namespace.
180 Do not flag user_xattr mount parm in dmesg. Retry failures setting file time
181 (mostly affects NT4 servers) by retry with handle based network operation.
182 Add new POSIX Query FS Info for returning statfs info more accurately.
183 Handle passwords with multiple commas in them.
187 Fix default mode in sysfs of cifs module parms. Remove old readdir routine.
188 Fix capabilities flags for large readx so as to allow reads larger than 64K.
192 Add module init parm for large SMB buffer size (to allow it to be changed
193 from its default of 16K) which is especially useful for large file copy
194 when mounting with the directio mount option. Fix oops after
195 returning from mount when experimental ExtendedSecurity enabled and
196 SpnegoNegotiated returning invalid error. Fix case to retry better when
197 peek returns from 1 to 3 bytes on socket which should have more data.
198 Fixed path based calls (such as cifs lookup) to handle path names
199 longer than 530 (now can handle PATH_MAX). Fix pass through authentication
200 from Samba server to DC (Samba required dummy LM password).
204 Turn off DNOTIFY (directory change notification support) by default
205 (unless built with the experimental flag) to fix hang with KDE
206 file browser. Fix DNOTIFY flag mappings. Fix hang (in wait_event
207 waiting on an SMB response) in SendReceive when session dies but
208 reconnects quickly from another task. Add module init parms for
209 minimum number of large and small network buffers in the buffer pools,
210 and for the maximum number of simultaneous requests.
214 Add setfacl support to allow setting of ACLs remotely to Samba 3.10 and later
215 and other POSIX CIFS compliant servers. Fix error mapping for getfacl
216 to EOPNOTSUPP when server does not support posix acls on the wire. Fix
217 improperly zeroed buffer in CIFS Unix extensions set times call.
221 Fix internationalization problem in cifs readdir with filenames that map to
222 longer UTF-8 strings than the string on the wire was in Unicode. Add workaround
223 for readdir to netapp servers. Fix search rewind (seek into readdir to return
224 non-consecutive entries). Do not do readdir when server negotiates
225 buffer size to small to fit filename. Add support for reading POSIX ACLs from
226 the server (add also acl and noacl mount options).
230 Optionally allow using server side inode numbers, rather than client generated
231 ones by specifying mount option "serverino" - this is required for some apps
232 to work which double check hardlinked files and have persistent inode numbers.
236 Multiple bigendian fixes. On little endian systems (for reconnect after
237 network failure) fix tcp session reconnect code so we do not try first
238 to reconnect on reverse of port 445. Treat reparse points (NTFS junctions)
239 as directories rather than symlinks because we can do follow link on them.
243 Add config option to enable XATTR (extended attribute) support, mapping
244 xattr names in the "user." namespace space to SMB/CIFS EAs. Lots of
245 minor fixes pointed out by the Stanford SWAT checker (mostly missing
246 or out of order NULL pointer checks in little used error paths).
250 Add new mount parm to control whether mode check (generic_permission) is done
251 on the client. If Unix extensions are enabled and the uids on the client
252 and server do not match, client permission checks are meaningless on
253 server uids that do not exist on the client (this does not affect the
254 normal ACL check which occurs on the server). Fix default uid
255 on mknod to match create and mkdir. Add optional mount parm to allow
256 override of the default uid behavior (in which the server sets the uid
257 and gid of newly created files). Normally for network filesystem mounts
258 user want the server to set the uid/gid on newly created files (rather than
259 using uid of the client processes you would in a local filesystem).
263 Make transaction counts more consistent. Merge /proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps
264 info into /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData. Fix oops in rare oops in readdir
265 (in build_wildcard_path_from_dentry). Fix mknod to pass type field
266 (block/char/fifo) properly. Remove spurious mount warning log entry when
267 credentials passed as mount argument. Set major/minor device number in
268 inode for block and char devices when unix extensions enabled.
272 Fix /proc/fs/cifs/Stats and DebugData display to handle larger
273 amounts of return data. Properly limit requests to MAX_REQ (50
274 is the usual maximum active multiplex SMB/CIFS requests per server).
275 Do not kill cifsd (and thus hurt the other SMB session) when more than one
276 session to the same server (but with different userids) exists and one
277 of the two user's smb sessions is being removed while leaving the other.
278 Do not loop reconnecting in cifsd demultiplex thread when admin
279 kills the thread without going through unmount.
283 Do not rename hardlinked files (since that should be a noop). Flush
284 cached write behind data when reopening a file after session abend,
285 except when already in write. Grab per socket sem during reconnect
286 to avoid oops in sendmsg if overlapping with reconnect. Do not
287 reset cached inode file size on readdir for files open for write on
293 Update number of blocks in file so du command is happier (in Linux a fake
294 blocksize of 512 is required for calculating number of blocks in inode).
295 Fix prepare write of partial pages to read in data from server if possible.
296 Fix race on tcpStatus field between unmount and reconnection code, causing
297 cifsd process sometimes to hang around forever. Improve out of memory
298 checks in cifs_filldir
302 Fix incorrect file size in file handle based setattr on big endian hardware.
303 Fix oops in build_path_from_dentry when out of memory. Add checks for invalid
304 and closing file structs in writepage/partialpagewrite. Add statistics
305 for each mounted share (new menuconfig option). Fix endianness problem in
306 volume information displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData (only affects
307 affects big endian architectures). Prevent renames while constructing
308 path names for open, mkdir and rmdir.
312 Change to mempools for alloc smb request buffers and multiplex structs
313 to better handle low memory problems (and potential deadlocks).
317 Fix incomplete listings of large directories on Samba servers when Unix
318 extensions enabled. Fix oops when smb_buffer can not be allocated. Fix
319 rename deadlock when writing out dirty pages at same time.
323 Fix open of files in which O_CREATE can cause the mode to change in
324 some cases. Fix case in which retry of write overlaps file close.
325 Fix PPC64 build error. Reduce excessive stack usage in smb password
326 hashing. Fix overwrite of Linux user's view of file mode to Windows servers.
330 Fixes for large file copy, signal handling, socket retry, buffer
331 allocation and low memory situations.
335 Better port 139 support to Windows servers (RFC1001/RFC1002 Session_Initialize)
336 also now allowing support for specifying client netbiosname. NT4 support added.
340 Fix reconnection (and certain failed mounts) to properly wake up the
341 blocked users thread so it does not seem hung (in some cases was blocked
342 until the cifs receive timeout expired). Fix spurious error logging
343 to kernel log when application with open network files killed.
347 Fix /proc/fs module unload warning message (that could be logged
348 to the kernel log). Fix intermittent failure in connectathon
349 test7 (hardlink count not immediately refreshed in case in which
350 inode metadata can be incorrectly kept cached when time near zero)
354 Allow file_mode and dir_mode (specified at mount time) to be enforced
355 locally (the server already enforced its own ACLs too) for servers
356 that do not report the correct mode (do not support the
357 CIFS Unix Extensions).
361 Fix some small memory leaks in some unmount error paths. Fix major leak
362 of cache pages in readpages causing multiple read oriented stress
363 testcases (including fsx, and even large file copy) to fail over time.
367 Send NTCreateX with ATTR_POSIX if Linux/Unix extensions negotiated with server.
368 This allows files that differ only in case and improves performance of file
369 creation and file open to such servers. Fix semaphore conflict which causes
370 slow delete of open file to Samba (which unfortunately can cause an oplock
371 break to self while vfs_unlink held i_sem) which can hang for 20 seconds.
375 fixes to cifs_readpages for fsx test case
379 Fix caching data integrity bug when extending file size especially when no
380 oplock on file. Fix spurious logging of valid already parsed mount options
381 that are parsed outside of the cifs vfs such as nosuid.
386 Connect to server when port number override not specified, and tcp port
387 unitialized. Reset search to restart at correct file when kernel routine
388 filldir returns error during large directory searches (readdir).
392 Fix caching problem when files opened by multiple clients in which
393 page cache could contain stale data, and write through did
394 not occur often enough while file was still open when read ahead
395 (read oplock) not allowed. Treat "sep=" when first mount option
396 as an override of comma as the default separator between mount
401 Allow passwords longer than 16 bytes. Allow null password string.
405 Gracefully clean up failed mounts when attempting to mount to servers such as
406 Windows 98 that terminate tcp sessions during protocol negotiation. Handle
407 embedded commas in mount parsing of passwords.
411 Invalidate local inode cached pages on oplock break and when last file
412 instance is closed so that the client does not continue using stale local
413 copy rather than later modified server copy of file. Do not reconnect
414 when server drops the tcp session prematurely before negotiate
415 protocol response. Fix oops in reopen_file when dentry freed. Allow
416 the support for CIFS Unix Extensions to be disabled via proc interface.
420 Fix hang in commit_write during reconnection of open files under heavy load.
421 Fix unload_nls oops in a mount failure path. Serialize writes to same socket
422 which also fixes any possible races when cifs signatures are enabled in SMBs
423 being sent out of signature sequence number order.
427 Fix byte range locking bug (endian problem) causing bad offset and
432 Fix oops (in send_sig) caused by CIFS unmount code trying to
433 wake up the demultiplex thread after it had exited. Do not log
434 error on harmless oplock release of closed handle.
438 Fix unsafe global variable usage and password hash failure on gcc 3.3.1
439 Fix problem reconnecting secondary mounts to same server after session
440 failure. Fix invalid dentry - race in mkdir when directory gets created
441 by another client between the lookup and mkdir.
445 Fix to list processing in reopen_files. Fix reconnection when server hung
446 but tcpip session still alive. Set proper timeout on socket read.
450 Add missing mount options including iocharset. SMP fixes in write and open.
451 Fix errors in reconnecting after TCP session failure. Fix module unloading
452 of default nls codepage
456 Active smb transactions should never go negative (fix double FreeXid). Fix
457 list processing in file routines. Check return code on kmalloc in open.
458 Fix spinlock usage for SMP.
462 Fix oops in reopen_files when invalid dentry. drop dentry on server rename
463 and on revalidate errors. Fix cases where pid is now tgid. Fix return code
464 on create hard link when server does not support them.
468 Fix scheduling while atomic error in getting inode info on newly created file.
469 Fix truncate of existing files opened with O_CREAT but not O_TRUNC set.
473 Fix oops on write to dead tcp session. Remove error log write for case when file open
474 O_CREAT but not O_EXCL
478 Fix non-POSIX behavior on rename of open file and delete of open file by taking
479 advantage of trans2 SetFileInfo rename facility if available on target server.
480 Retry on ENOSPC and EAGAIN socket errors.
484 Fix oops on big endian readdir. Set blksize to be even power of two (2**blkbits) to fix
485 allocation size miscalculation. After oplock token lost do not read through
490 Fix oops on empty file readahead. Fix for file size handling for locally cached files.
494 Fix oops in mkdir when server fails to return inode info. Fix oops in reopen_files
495 during auto reconnection to server after server recovered from failure.
499 Finish support for Linux 2.5 open/create changes, which removes the
500 redundant NTCreate/QPathInfo/close that was sent during file create.
501 Enable oplock by default. Enable packet signing by default (needed to
502 access many recent Windows servers)
506 Fix oops when mounting to long server names caused by inverted parms to kmalloc.
507 Fix MultiuserMount (/proc/fs/cifs configuration setting) so that when enabled
508 we will choose a cifs user session (smb uid) that better matches the local
509 uid if a) the mount uid does not match the current uid and b) we have another
510 session to the same server (ip address) for a different mount which
511 matches the current local uid.
515 Add support for mknod of block or character devices. Fix oplock
516 code (distributed caching) to properly send response to oplock
521 Finish up CIFS packet digital signing for the default
522 NTLM security case. This should help Windows 2003
523 network interoperability since it is common for
524 packet signing to be required now. Fix statfs (stat -f)
525 which recently started returning errors due to
526 invalid value (-1 instead of 0) being set in the
527 struct kstatfs f_ffiles field.
531 Fix oops on stopping oplock thread when removing cifs when
536 Fix mount options for ro (readonly), uid, gid and file and directory mode.
540 Fix errors displayed on failed mounts to be more understandable.
541 Fixed various incorrect or misleading smb to posix error code mappings.
545 Fix display of NTFS DFS junctions to display as symlinks.
546 They are the network equivalent. Fix oops in
547 cifs_partialpagewrite caused by missing spinlock protection
548 of openfile linked list. Allow writebehind caching errors to
549 be returned to the application at file close.
553 Clean up options displayed in /proc/mounts by show_options to
554 be more consistent with other filesystems.
558 Fix delete of readonly file to Windows servers. Reflect
559 presence or absence of read only dos attribute in mode
560 bits for servers that do not support CIFS Unix extensions.
561 Fix shortened results on readdir of large directories to
562 servers supporting CIFS Unix extensions (caused by
563 incorrect resume key).
567 Fix truncate bug (set file size) that could cause hangs e.g. running fsx
571 unload nls if mount fails.
575 Add resume key support to search (readdir) code to workaround
576 Windows bug. Add /proc/fs/cifs/LookupCacheEnable which
577 allows disabling caching of attribute information for
582 Add more oplock handling (distributed caching code). Remove
583 dead code. Remove excessive stack space utilization from
588 Fix oops in get dfs referral (triggered when null path sent in to
589 mount). Add support for overriding rsize at mount time.
593 Fix buffer overrun in readdir which caused intermittent kernel oopses.
594 Fix writepage code to release kmap on write data. Allow "-ip=" new
595 mount option to be passed in on parameter distinct from the first part
596 (server name portion of) the UNC name. Allow override of the
597 tcp port of the target server via new mount option "-port="
601 Fix search handle leak on rewind. Fix setuid and gid so that they are
602 reflected in the local inode immediately. Cleanup of whitespace
603 to make 2.4 and 2.5 versions more consistent.
608 Fix signal sending so that captive thread (cifsd) exits on umount
609 (which was causing the warning in kmem_cache_free of the request buffers
610 at rmmod time). This had broken as a sideeffect of the recent global
611 kernel change to daemonize. Fix memory leak in readdir code which
612 showed up in "ls -R" (and applications that did search rewinding).
616 Reconnect tids and fids after session reconnection (still do not
617 reconnect byte range locks though). Fix problem caching
618 lookup information for directory inodes, improving performance,
619 especially in deep directory trees. Fix various build warnings.
623 Finish fixes to commit write for caching/readahead consistency. fsx
624 now works to Samba servers. Fix oops caused when readahead
625 was interrupted by a signal.
629 Fix data corruption (in partial page after truncate) that caused fsx to
630 fail to Windows servers. Cleaned up some extraneous error logging in
631 common error paths. Add generic sendfile support.
635 Fix memory leak in AllocMidQEntry.
636 Finish reconnection logic, so connection with server can be dropped
637 (or server rebooted) and the cifs client will reconnect.
641 Fix temporary socket leak when bad userid or password specified
642 (or other SMBSessSetup failure). Increase maximum buffer size to slightly
643 over 16K to allow negotiation of up to Samba and Windows server default read
644 sizes. Add support for readpages
648 Fix oops when username not passed in on mount. Extensive fixes and improvements
649 to error logging (strip redundant newlines, change debug macros to ensure newline
650 passed in and to be more consistent). Fix writepage wrong file handle problem,
651 a readonly file handle could be incorrectly used to attempt to write out
652 file updates through the page cache to multiply open files. This could cause
653 the iozone benchmark to fail on the fwrite test. Fix bug mounting two different
654 shares to the same Windows server when using different usernames
655 (doing this to Samba servers worked but Windows was rejecting it) - now it is
656 possible to use different userids when connecting to the same server from a
657 Linux client. Fix oops when treeDisconnect called during unmount on
658 previously freed socket.
662 Fix oops in readpages caused by not setting address space operations in inode in
667 Includes support for deleting of open files and renaming over existing files (per POSIX
668 requirement). Add readlink support for Windows junction points (directory symlinks).
672 Changed read and write to go through pagecache. Added additional address space operations.
673 Memory mapped operations now working.
677 Added writepage code for additional memory mapping support. Fixed leak in xids causing
678 the simultaneous operations counter (/proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps) to increase on
679 every stat call. Additional formatting cleanup.
683 Fix bigendian bug in order of time conversion. Merge 2.5 to 2.4 version. Formatting cleanup.
687 Fixes from Zwane Mwaikambo for adding missing return code checking in a few places.
688 Also included a modified version of his fix to protect global list manipulation of
689 the smb session and tree connection and mid related global variables.
693 Fix problem with captive thread hanging around at unmount time. Adjust to 2.5.42-pre
694 changes to superblock layout. Remove wasteful allocation of smb buffers (now the send
695 buffer is reused for responses). Add more oplock handling. Additional minor cleanup.
699 More stylistic updates to better match kernel style. Add additional statistics
700 for filesystem which can be viewed via /proc/fs/cifs. Add more pieces of NTLMv2
701 and CIFS Packet Signing enablement.
705 Replace call to sleep_on with safer wait_on_event.
706 Make stylistic changes to better match kernel style recommendations.
707 Remove most typedef usage (except for the PDUs themselves).
711 Update mount so the -unc mount option is no longer required (the ip address can be specified
712 in a UNC style device name. Implementation of readpage/writepage started.
716 Fix intermittent problem with incorrect smb header checking on badly
717 fragmented tcp responses
721 Fixes to setting of allocation size and file size.
725 Various 2.5.38 fixes. Now works on 2.5.38
729 Prepare for 2.5 kernel merge. Remove ifdefs.
733 Socket buffer management fixes. Fix dual free.
737 Various big endian fixes for hardlinks and symlinks and also for dfs.
741 Various big endian fixes for servers with Unix extensions such as Samba
745 Various FindNext fixes for incorrect filenames on large directory searches on big endian
746 clients. basic posix file i/o tests now work on big endian machines, not just le
750 SessionSetup and NegotiateProtocol now work from Big Endian machines.
751 Various Big Endian fixes found during testing on the Linux on 390. Various fixes for compatibility with older
752 versions of 2.4 kernel (now builds and works again on kernels at least as early as 2.4.7).
756 Various minor fixes for Connectathon Posix "basic" file i/o test suite. Directory caching fixed so hardlinked
757 files now return the correct number of links on fstat as they are repeatedly linked and unlinked.
761 Implemented "Raw" (i.e. not encapsulated in SPNEGO) NTLMSSP (i.e. the Security Provider Interface used to negotiate
762 session advanced session authentication). Raw NTLMSSP is preferred by Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP.
763 Began implementing support for SPNEGO encapsulation of NTLMSSP based session authentication blobs
764 (which is the mechanism preferred by Windows 2000 server in the absence of Kerberos).
768 Introduced optional mount helper utility mount.cifs and made coreq changes to cifs vfs to enable
769 it. Fixed a few bugs in the DFS code (e.g. bcc two bytes too short and incorrect uid in PDU).
773 Rewrote much of connection and mount/unmount logic to handle bugs with
774 multiple uses to same share, multiple users to same server etc.
778 Fixed major problem with dentry corruption (missing call to dput)
782 Rewrite of readdir code to fix bug. Various fixes for bigendian machines.
783 Begin adding oplock support. Multiusermount and oplockEnabled flags added to /proc/fs/cifs
784 although corresponding function not fully implemented in the vfs yet
788 Fixed dentry caching bug, misc. cleanup
792 Fixed 2.5 support to handle build and configure changes as well as misc. 2.5 changes. Now can build
793 on current 2.5 beta version (2.5.24) of the Linux kernel as well as on 2.4 Linux kernels.
794 Support for STATUS codes (newer 32 bit NT error codes) added. DFS support begun to be added.
798 Unix extensions (symlink, readlink, hardlink, chmod and some chgrp and chown) implemented
799 and tested against Samba 2.2.5
804 1) Fixed lockrange to be correct (it was one byte too short)
806 2) Fixed GETLK (i.e. the fcntl call to test a range of bytes in a file to see if locked) to correctly
807 show range as locked when there is a conflict with an existing lock.
809 3) default file perms are now 2767 (indicating support for mandatory locks) instead of 777 for directories
810 in most cases. Eventually will offer optional ability to query server for the correct perms.
812 3) Fixed eventual trap when mounting twice to different shares on the same server when the first succeeded
813 but the second one was invalid and failed (the second one was incorrectly disconnecting the tcp and smb
816 4) Fixed error logging of valid mount options
818 5) Removed logging of password field.
820 6) Moved negotiate, treeDisconnect and uloggoffX (only tConx and SessSetup remain in connect.c) to cifssmb.c
821 and cleaned them up and made them more consistent with other cifs functions.
823 7) Server support for Unix extensions is now fully detected and FindFirst is implemented both ways
824 (with or without Unix extensions) but FindNext and QueryPathInfo with the Unix extensions are not completed,
825 nor is the symlink support using the Unix extensions
827 8) Started adding the readlink and follow_link code
