  1. Version 1.51
  2. ------------
  3. Fix memory leak in statfs when mounted to very old servers (e.g.
  4. Windows 9x). Add new feature "POSIX open" which allows servers
  5. which support the current POSIX Extensions to provide better semantics
  6. (e.g. delete for open files opened with posix open). Take into
  7. account umask on posix mkdir not just older style mkdir. Add
  8. ability to mount to IPC$ share (which allows CIFS named pipes to be
  9. opened, read and written as if they were files). When 1st tree
  10. connect fails (e.g. due to signing negotiation failure) fix
  11. leak that causes cifsd not to stop and rmmod to fail to cleanup
  12. cifs_request_buffers pool. Fix problem with POSIX Open/Mkdir on
  13. bigendian architectures. Fix possible memory corruption when
  14. EAGAIN returned on kern_recvmsg. Return better error if server
  15. requires packet signing but client has disabled it.
  16. Version 1.50
  17. ------------
  18. Fix NTLMv2 signing. NFS server mounted over cifs works (if cifs mount is
  19. done with "serverino" mount option). Add support for POSIX Unlink
  20. (helps with certain sharing violation cases when server such as
  21. Samba supports newer POSIX CIFS Protocol Extensions). Add "nounix"
  22. mount option to allow disabling the CIFS Unix Extensions for just
  23. that mount. Fix hang on spinlock in find_writable_file (race when
  24. reopening file after session crash). Byte range unlock request to
  25. windows server could unlock more bytes (on server copy of file)
  26. than intended if start of unlock request is well before start of
  27. a previous byte range lock that we issued.
  28. Version 1.49
  29. ------------
  30. IPv6 support. Enable ipv6 addresses to be passed on mount (put the ipv6
  31. address after the "ip=" mount option, at least until mount.cifs is fixed to
  32. handle DNS host to ipv6 name translation). Accept override of uid or gid
  33. on mount even when Unix Extensions are negotiated (it used to be ignored
  34. when Unix Extensions were ignored). This allows users to override the
  35. default uid and gid for files when they are certain that the uids or
  36. gids on the server do not match those of the client. Make "sec=none"
  37. mount override username (so that null user connection is attempted)
  38. to match what documentation said. Support for very large reads, over 127K,
  39. available to some newer servers (such as Samba 3.0.26 and later but
  40. note that it also requires setting CIFSMaxBufSize at module install
  41. time to a larger value which may hurt performance in some cases).
  42. Make sign option force signing (or fail if server does not support it).
  43. Version 1.48
  44. ------------
  45. Fix mtime bouncing around from local idea of last write times to remote time.
  46. Fix hang (in i_size_read) when simultaneous size update of same remote file
  47. on smp system corrupts sequence number. Do not reread unnecessarily partial page
  48. (which we are about to overwrite anyway) when writing out file opened rw.
  49. When DOS attribute of file on non-Unix server's file changes on the server side
  50. from read-only back to read-write, reflect this change in default file mode
  51. (we had been leaving a file's mode read-only until the inode were reloaded).
  52. Allow setting of attribute back to ATTR_NORMAL (removing readonly dos attribute
  53. when archive dos attribute not set and we are changing mode back to writeable
  54. on server which does not support the Unix Extensions). Remove read only dos
  55. attribute on chmod when adding any write permission (ie on any of
  56. user/group/other (not all of user/group/other ie 0222) when
  57. mounted to windows. Add support for POSIX MkDir (slight performance
  58. enhancement and eliminates the network race between the mkdir and set
  59. path info of the mode).
  60. Version 1.47
  61. ------------
  62. Fix oops in list_del during mount caused by unaligned string.
  63. Fix file corruption which could occur on some large file
  64. copies caused by writepages page i/o completion bug.
  65. Seek to SEEK_END forces check for update of file size for non-cached
  66. files. Allow file size to be updated on remote extend of locally open,
  67. non-cached file. Fix reconnect to newer Samba servers (or other servers
  68. which support the CIFS Unix/POSIX extensions) so that we again tell the
  69. server the Unix/POSIX cifs capabilities which we support (SetFSInfo).
  70. Add experimental support for new POSIX Open/Mkdir (which returns
  71. stat information on the open, and allows setting the mode).
  72. Version 1.46
  73. ------------
  74. Support deep tree mounts. Better support OS/2, Win9x (DOS) time stamps.
  75. Allow null user to be specified on mount ("username="). Do not return
  76. EINVAL on readdir when filldir fails due to overwritten blocksize
  77. (fixes FC problem). Return error in rename 2nd attempt retry (ie report
  78. if rename by handle also fails, after rename by path fails, we were
  79. not reporting whether the retry worked or not). Fix NTLMv2 to
  80. work to Windows servers (mount with option "sec=ntlmv2").
  81. Version 1.45
  82. ------------
  83. Do not time out lockw calls when using posix extensions. Do not
  84. time out requests if server still responding reasonably fast
  85. on requests on other threads. Improve POSIX locking emulation,
  86. (lock cancel now works, and unlock of merged range works even
  87. to Windows servers now). Fix oops on mount to lanman servers
  88. (win9x, os/2 etc.) when null password. Do not send listxattr
  89. (SMB to query all EAs) if nouser_xattr specified. Fix SE Linux
  90. problem (instantiate inodes/dentries in right order for readdir).
  91. Version 1.44
  92. ------------
  93. Rewritten sessionsetup support, including support for legacy SMB
  94. session setup needed for OS/2 and older servers such as Windows 95 and 98.
  95. Fix oops on ls to OS/2 servers. Add support for level 1 FindFirst
  96. so we can do search (ls etc.) to OS/2. Do not send NTCreateX
  97. or recent levels of FindFirst unless server says it supports NT SMBs
  98. (instead use legacy equivalents from LANMAN dialect). Fix to allow
  99. NTLMv2 authentication support (now can use stronger password hashing
  100. on mount if corresponding /proc/fs/cifs/SecurityFlags is set (0x4004).
  101. Allow override of global cifs security flags on mount via "sec=" option(s).
  102. Version 1.43
  103. ------------
  104. POSIX locking to servers which support CIFS POSIX Extensions
  105. (disabled by default controlled by proc/fs/cifs/Experimental).
  106. Handle conversion of long share names (especially Asian languages)
  107. to Unicode during mount. Fix memory leak in sess struct on reconnect.
  108. Fix rare oops after acpi suspend. Fix O_TRUNC opens to overwrite on
  109. cifs open which helps rare case when setpathinfo fails or server does
  110. not support it.
  111. Version 1.42
  112. ------------
  113. Fix slow oplock break when mounted to different servers at the same time and
  114. the tids match and we try to find matching fid on wrong server. Fix read
  115. looping when signing required by server (2.6.16 kernel only). Fix readdir
  116. vs. rename race which could cause each to hang. Return . and .. even
  117. if server does not. Allow searches to skip first three entries and
  118. begin at any location. Fix oops in find_writeable_file.
  119. Version 1.41
  120. ------------
  121. Fix NTLMv2 security (can be enabled in /proc/fs/cifs) so customers can
  122. configure stronger authentication. Fix sfu symlinks so they can
  123. be followed (not just recognized). Fix wraparound of bcc on
  124. read responses when buffer size over 64K and also fix wrap of
  125. max smb buffer size when CIFSMaxBufSize over 64K. Fix oops in
  126. cifs_user_read and cifs_readpages (when EAGAIN on send of smb
  127. on socket is returned over and over). Add POSIX (advisory) byte range
  128. locking support (requires server with newest CIFS UNIX Extensions
  129. to the protocol implemented). Slow down negprot slightly in port 139
  130. RFC1001 case to give session_init time on buggy servers.
  131. Version 1.40
  132. ------------
  133. Use fsuid (fsgid) more consistently instead of uid (gid). Improve performance
  134. of readpages by eliminating one extra memcpy. Allow update of file size
  135. from remote server even if file is open for write as long as mount is
  136. directio. Recognize share mode security and send NTLM encrypted password
  137. on tree connect if share mode negotiated.
  138. Version 1.39
  139. ------------
  140. Defer close of a file handle slightly if pending writes depend on that handle
  141. (this reduces the EBADF bad file handle errors that can be logged under heavy
  142. stress on writes). Modify cifs Kconfig options to expose CONFIG_CIFS_STATS2
  143. Fix SFU style symlinks and mknod needed for servers which do not support the
  144. CIFS Unix Extensions. Fix setfacl/getfacl on bigendian. Timeout negative
  145. dentries so files that the client sees as deleted but that later get created
  146. on the server will be recognized. Add client side permission check on setattr.
  147. Timeout stuck requests better (where server has never responded or sent corrupt
  148. responses)
  149. Version 1.38
  150. ------------
  151. Fix tcp socket retransmission timeouts (e.g. on ENOSPACE from the socket)
  152. to be smaller at first (but increasing) so large write performance performance
  153. over GigE is better. Do not hang thread on illegal byte range lock response
  154. from Windows (Windows can send an RFC1001 size which does not match smb size) by
  155. allowing an SMBs TCP length to be up to a few bytes longer than it should be.
  156. wsize and rsize can now be larger than negotiated buffer size if server
  157. supports large readx/writex, even when directio mount flag not specified.
  158. Write size will in many cases now be 16K instead of 4K which greatly helps
  159. file copy performance on lightly loaded networks. Fix oops in dnotify
  160. when experimental config flag enabled. Make cifsFYI more granular.
  161. Version 1.37
  162. ------------
  163. Fix readdir caching when unlink removes file in current search buffer,
  164. and this is followed by a rewind search to just before the deleted entry.
  165. Do not attempt to set ctime unless atime and/or mtime change requested
  166. (most servers throw it away anyway). Fix length check of received smbs
  167. to be more accurate. Fix big endian problem with mapchars mount option,
  168. and with a field returned by statfs.
  169. Version 1.36
  170. ------------
  171. Add support for mounting to older pre-CIFS servers such as Windows9x and ME.
  172. For these older servers, add option for passing netbios name of server in
  173. on mount (servernetbiosname). Add suspend support for power management, to
  174. avoid cifsd thread preventing software suspend from working.
  175. Add mount option for disabling the default behavior of sending byte range lock
  176. requests to the server (necessary for certain applications which break with
  177. mandatory lock behavior such as Evolution), and also mount option for
  178. requesting case insensitive matching for path based requests (requesting
  179. case sensitive is the default).
  180. Version 1.35
  181. ------------
  182. Add writepage performance improvements. Fix path name conversions
  183. for long filenames on mounts which were done with "mapchars" mount option
  184. specified. Ensure multiplex ids do not collide. Fix case in which
  185. rmmod can oops if done soon after last unmount. Fix truncated
  186. search (readdir) output when resume filename was a long filename.
  187. Fix filename conversion when mapchars mount option was specified and
  188. filename was a long filename.
  189. Version 1.34
  190. ------------
  191. Fix error mapping of the TOO_MANY_LINKS (hardlinks) case.
  192. Do not oops if root user kills cifs oplock kernel thread or
  193. kills the cifsd thread (NB: killing the cifs kernel threads is not
  194. recommended, unmount and rmmod cifs will kill them when they are
  195. no longer needed). Fix readdir to ASCII servers (ie older servers
  196. which do not support Unicode) and also require asterisk.
  197. Fix out of memory case in which data could be written one page
  198. off in the page cache.
  199. Version 1.33
  200. ------------
  201. Fix caching problem, in which readdir of directory containing a file
  202. which was cached could cause the file's time stamp to be updated
  203. without invalidating the readahead data (so we could get stale
  204. file data on the client for that file even as the server copy changed).
  205. Cleanup response processing so cifsd can not loop when abnormally
  206. terminated.
  207. Version 1.32
  208. ------------
  209. Fix oops in ls when Transact2 FindFirst (or FindNext) returns more than one
  210. transact response for an SMB request and search entry split across two frames.
  211. Add support for lsattr (getting ext2/ext3/reiserfs attr flags from the server)
  212. as new protocol extensions. Do not send Get/Set calls for POSIX ACLs
  213. unless server explicitly claims to support them in CIFS Unix extensions
  214. POSIX ACL capability bit. Fix packet signing when multiuser mounting with
  215. different users from the same client to the same server. Fix oops in
  216. cifs_close. Add mount option for remapping reserved characters in
  217. filenames (also allow recognizing files with created by SFU which have any
  218. of these seven reserved characters, except backslash, to be recognized).
  219. Fix invalid transact2 message (we were sometimes trying to interpret
  220. oplock breaks as SMB responses). Add ioctl for checking that the
  221. current uid matches the uid of the mounter (needed by umount.cifs).
  222. Reduce the number of large buffer allocations in cifs response processing
  223. (significantly reduces memory pressure under heavy stress with multiple
  224. processes accessing the same server at the same time).
  225. Version 1.31
  226. ------------
  227. Fix updates of DOS attributes and time fields so that files on NT4 servers
  228. do not get marked delete on close. Display sizes of cifs buffer pools in
  229. cifs stats. Fix oops in unmount when cifsd thread being killed by
  230. shutdown. Add generic readv/writev and aio support. Report inode numbers
  231. consistently in readdir and lookup (when serverino mount option is
  232. specified use the inode number that the server reports - for both lookup
  233. and readdir, otherwise by default the locally generated inode number is used
  234. for inodes created in either path since servers are not always able to
  235. provide unique inode numbers when exporting multiple volumes from under one
  236. sharename).
  237. Version 1.30
  238. ------------
  239. Allow new nouser_xattr mount parm to disable xattr support for user namespace.
  240. Do not flag user_xattr mount parm in dmesg. Retry failures setting file time
  241. (mostly affects NT4 servers) by retry with handle based network operation.
  242. Add new POSIX Query FS Info for returning statfs info more accurately.
  243. Handle passwords with multiple commas in them.
  244. Version 1.29
  245. ------------
  246. Fix default mode in sysfs of cifs module parms. Remove old readdir routine.
  247. Fix capabilities flags for large readx so as to allow reads larger than 64K.
  248. Version 1.28
  249. ------------
  250. Add module init parm for large SMB buffer size (to allow it to be changed
  251. from its default of 16K) which is especially useful for large file copy
  252. when mounting with the directio mount option. Fix oops after
  253. returning from mount when experimental ExtendedSecurity enabled and
  254. SpnegoNegotiated returning invalid error. Fix case to retry better when
  255. peek returns from 1 to 3 bytes on socket which should have more data.
  256. Fixed path based calls (such as cifs lookup) to handle path names
  257. longer than 530 (now can handle PATH_MAX). Fix pass through authentication
  258. from Samba server to DC (Samba required dummy LM password).
  259. Version 1.27
  260. ------------
  261. Turn off DNOTIFY (directory change notification support) by default
  262. (unless built with the experimental flag) to fix hang with KDE
  263. file browser. Fix DNOTIFY flag mappings. Fix hang (in wait_event
  264. waiting on an SMB response) in SendReceive when session dies but
  265. reconnects quickly from another task. Add module init parms for
  266. minimum number of large and small network buffers in the buffer pools,
  267. and for the maximum number of simultaneous requests.
  268. Version 1.26
  269. ------------
  270. Add setfacl support to allow setting of ACLs remotely to Samba 3.10 and later
  271. and other POSIX CIFS compliant servers. Fix error mapping for getfacl
  272. to EOPNOTSUPP when server does not support posix acls on the wire. Fix
  273. improperly zeroed buffer in CIFS Unix extensions set times call.
  274. Version 1.25
  275. ------------
  276. Fix internationalization problem in cifs readdir with filenames that map to
  277. longer UTF-8 strings than the string on the wire was in Unicode. Add workaround
  278. for readdir to netapp servers. Fix search rewind (seek into readdir to return
  279. non-consecutive entries). Do not do readdir when server negotiates
  280. buffer size to small to fit filename. Add support for reading POSIX ACLs from
  281. the server (add also acl and noacl mount options).
  282. Version 1.24
  283. ------------
  284. Optionally allow using server side inode numbers, rather than client generated
  285. ones by specifying mount option "serverino" - this is required for some apps
  286. to work which double check hardlinked files and have persistent inode numbers.
  287. Version 1.23
  288. ------------
  289. Multiple bigendian fixes. On little endian systems (for reconnect after
  290. network failure) fix tcp session reconnect code so we do not try first
  291. to reconnect on reverse of port 445. Treat reparse points (NTFS junctions)
  292. as directories rather than symlinks because we can do follow link on them.
  293. Version 1.22
  294. ------------
  295. Add config option to enable XATTR (extended attribute) support, mapping
  296. xattr names in the "user." namespace space to SMB/CIFS EAs. Lots of
  297. minor fixes pointed out by the Stanford SWAT checker (mostly missing
  298. or out of order NULL pointer checks in little used error paths).
  299. Version 1.21
  300. ------------
  301. Add new mount parm to control whether mode check (generic_permission) is done
  302. on the client. If Unix extensions are enabled and the uids on the client
  303. and server do not match, client permission checks are meaningless on
  304. server uids that do not exist on the client (this does not affect the
  305. normal ACL check which occurs on the server). Fix default uid
  306. on mknod to match create and mkdir. Add optional mount parm to allow
  307. override of the default uid behavior (in which the server sets the uid
  308. and gid of newly created files). Normally for network filesystem mounts
  309. user want the server to set the uid/gid on newly created files (rather than
  310. using uid of the client processes you would in a local filesystem).
  311. Version 1.20
  312. ------------
  313. Make transaction counts more consistent. Merge /proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps
  314. info into /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData. Fix oops in rare oops in readdir
  315. (in build_wildcard_path_from_dentry). Fix mknod to pass type field
  316. (block/char/fifo) properly. Remove spurious mount warning log entry when
  317. credentials passed as mount argument. Set major/minor device number in
  318. inode for block and char devices when unix extensions enabled.
  319. Version 1.19
  320. ------------
  321. Fix /proc/fs/cifs/Stats and DebugData display to handle larger
  322. amounts of return data. Properly limit requests to MAX_REQ (50
  323. is the usual maximum active multiplex SMB/CIFS requests per server).
  324. Do not kill cifsd (and thus hurt the other SMB session) when more than one
  325. session to the same server (but with different userids) exists and one
  326. of the two user's smb sessions is being removed while leaving the other.
  327. Do not loop reconnecting in cifsd demultiplex thread when admin
  328. kills the thread without going through unmount.
  329. Version 1.18
  330. ------------
  331. Do not rename hardlinked files (since that should be a noop). Flush
  332. cached write behind data when reopening a file after session abend,
  333. except when already in write. Grab per socket sem during reconnect
  334. to avoid oops in sendmsg if overlapping with reconnect. Do not
  335. reset cached inode file size on readdir for files open for write on
  336. client.
  337. Version 1.17
  338. ------------
  339. Update number of blocks in file so du command is happier (in Linux a fake
  340. blocksize of 512 is required for calculating number of blocks in inode).
  341. Fix prepare write of partial pages to read in data from server if possible.
  342. Fix race on tcpStatus field between unmount and reconnection code, causing
  343. cifsd process sometimes to hang around forever. Improve out of memory
  344. checks in cifs_filldir
  345. Version 1.16
  346. ------------
  347. Fix incorrect file size in file handle based setattr on big endian hardware.
  348. Fix oops in build_path_from_dentry when out of memory. Add checks for invalid
  349. and closing file structs in writepage/partialpagewrite. Add statistics
  350. for each mounted share (new menuconfig option). Fix endianness problem in
  351. volume information displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData (only affects
  352. affects big endian architectures). Prevent renames while constructing
  353. path names for open, mkdir and rmdir.
  354. Version 1.15
  355. ------------
  356. Change to mempools for alloc smb request buffers and multiplex structs
  357. to better handle low memory problems (and potential deadlocks).
  358. Version 1.14
  359. ------------
  360. Fix incomplete listings of large directories on Samba servers when Unix
  361. extensions enabled. Fix oops when smb_buffer can not be allocated. Fix
  362. rename deadlock when writing out dirty pages at same time.
  363. Version 1.13
  364. ------------
  365. Fix open of files in which O_CREATE can cause the mode to change in
  366. some cases. Fix case in which retry of write overlaps file close.
  367. Fix PPC64 build error. Reduce excessive stack usage in smb password
  368. hashing. Fix overwrite of Linux user's view of file mode to Windows servers.
  369. Version 1.12
  370. ------------
  371. Fixes for large file copy, signal handling, socket retry, buffer
  372. allocation and low memory situations.
  373. Version 1.11
  374. ------------
  375. Better port 139 support to Windows servers (RFC1001/RFC1002 Session_Initialize)
  376. also now allowing support for specifying client netbiosname. NT4 support added.
  377. Version 1.10
  378. ------------
  379. Fix reconnection (and certain failed mounts) to properly wake up the
  380. blocked users thread so it does not seem hung (in some cases was blocked
  381. until the cifs receive timeout expired). Fix spurious error logging
  382. to kernel log when application with open network files killed.
  383. Version 1.09
  384. ------------
  385. Fix /proc/fs module unload warning message (that could be logged
  386. to the kernel log). Fix intermittent failure in connectathon
  387. test7 (hardlink count not immediately refreshed in case in which
  388. inode metadata can be incorrectly kept cached when time near zero)
  389. Version 1.08
  390. ------------
  391. Allow file_mode and dir_mode (specified at mount time) to be enforced
  392. locally (the server already enforced its own ACLs too) for servers
  393. that do not report the correct mode (do not support the
  394. CIFS Unix Extensions).
  395. Version 1.07
  396. ------------
  397. Fix some small memory leaks in some unmount error paths. Fix major leak
  398. of cache pages in readpages causing multiple read oriented stress
  399. testcases (including fsx, and even large file copy) to fail over time.
  400. Version 1.06
  401. ------------
  402. Send NTCreateX with ATTR_POSIX if Linux/Unix extensions negotiated with server.
  403. This allows files that differ only in case and improves performance of file
  404. creation and file open to such servers. Fix semaphore conflict which causes
  405. slow delete of open file to Samba (which unfortunately can cause an oplock
  406. break to self while vfs_unlink held i_sem) which can hang for 20 seconds.
  407. Version 1.05
  408. ------------
  409. fixes to cifs_readpages for fsx test case
  410. Version 1.04
  411. ------------
  412. Fix caching data integrity bug when extending file size especially when no
  413. oplock on file. Fix spurious logging of valid already parsed mount options
  414. that are parsed outside of the cifs vfs such as nosuid.
  415. Version 1.03
  416. ------------
  417. Connect to server when port number override not specified, and tcp port
  418. unitialized. Reset search to restart at correct file when kernel routine
  419. filldir returns error during large directory searches (readdir).
  420. Version 1.02
  421. ------------
  422. Fix caching problem when files opened by multiple clients in which
  423. page cache could contain stale data, and write through did
  424. not occur often enough while file was still open when read ahead
  425. (read oplock) not allowed. Treat "sep=" when first mount option
  426. as an override of comma as the default separator between mount
  427. options.
  428. Version 1.01
  429. ------------
  430. Allow passwords longer than 16 bytes. Allow null password string.
  431. Version 1.00
  432. ------------
  433. Gracefully clean up failed mounts when attempting to mount to servers such as
  434. Windows 98 that terminate tcp sessions during protocol negotiation. Handle
  435. embedded commas in mount parsing of passwords.
  436. Version 0.99
  437. ------------
  438. Invalidate local inode cached pages on oplock break and when last file
  439. instance is closed so that the client does not continue using stale local
  440. copy rather than later modified server copy of file. Do not reconnect
  441. when server drops the tcp session prematurely before negotiate
  442. protocol response. Fix oops in reopen_file when dentry freed. Allow
  443. the support for CIFS Unix Extensions to be disabled via proc interface.
  444. Version 0.98
  445. ------------
  446. Fix hang in commit_write during reconnection of open files under heavy load.
  447. Fix unload_nls oops in a mount failure path. Serialize writes to same socket
  448. which also fixes any possible races when cifs signatures are enabled in SMBs
  449. being sent out of signature sequence number order.
  450. Version 0.97
  451. ------------
  452. Fix byte range locking bug (endian problem) causing bad offset and
  453. length.
  454. Version 0.96
  455. ------------
  456. Fix oops (in send_sig) caused by CIFS unmount code trying to
  457. wake up the demultiplex thread after it had exited. Do not log
  458. error on harmless oplock release of closed handle.
  459. Version 0.95
  460. ------------
  461. Fix unsafe global variable usage and password hash failure on gcc 3.3.1
  462. Fix problem reconnecting secondary mounts to same server after session
  463. failure. Fix invalid dentry - race in mkdir when directory gets created
  464. by another client between the lookup and mkdir.
  465. Version 0.94
  466. ------------
  467. Fix to list processing in reopen_files. Fix reconnection when server hung

  512. redundant NTCreate/QPathInfo/close that was sent during file create.
  513. Enable oplock by default. Enable packet signing by default (needed to
  514. access many recent Windows servers)
  515. Version 0.83
  516. ------------
  517. Fix oops when mounting to long server names caused by inverted parms to kmalloc.
  518. Fix MultiuserMount (/proc/fs/cifs configuration setting) so that when enabled
  519. we will choose a cifs user session (smb uid) that better matches the local
  520. uid if a) the mount uid does not match the current uid and b) we have another
  521. session to the same server (ip address) for a different mount which

  548. Version 0.77
  549. ------------
  550. Fix display of NTFS DFS junctions to display as symlinks.
  551. They are the network equivalent. Fix oops in
  552. cifs_partialpagewrite caused by missing spinlock protection
  553. of openfile linked list. Allow writebehind caching errors to
  554. be returned to the application at file close.
  555. Version 0.76
  556. ------------
  557. Clean up options displayed in /proc/mounts by show_options to
  558. be more consistent with other filesystems.
  559. Version 0.75
  560. ------------
  561. Fix delete of readonly file to Windows servers. Reflect
  562. presence or absence of read only dos attribute in mode
  563. bits for servers that do not support CIFS Unix extensions.
  564. Fix shortened results on readdir of large directories to
  565. servers supporting CIFS Unix extensions (caused by
  566. incorrect resume key).
  567. Version 0.74
  568. ------------
  569. Fix truncate bug (set file size) that could cause hangs e.g. running fsx
  570. Version 0.73
  571. ------------
  572. unload nls if mount fails.
  573. Version 0.72
  574. ------------
  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
  578. lookups.
  579. Version 0.71
  580. ------------
  581. Add more oplock handling (distributed caching code). Remove
  582. dead code. Remove excessive stack space utilization from
  583. symlink routines.
  584. Version 0.70
  585. ------------
  586. Fix oops in get dfs referral (triggered when null path sent in to
  587. mount). Add support for overriding rsize at mount time.
  588. Version 0.69
  589. ------------
  590. Fix buffer overrun in readdir which caused intermittent kernel oopses.
  591. Fix writepage code to release kmap on write data. Allow "-ip=" new
  592. mount option to be passed in on parameter distinct from the first part
  593. (server name portion of) the UNC name. Allow override of the
  594. tcp port of the target server via new mount option "-port="
  595. Version 0.68
  596. ------------
  597. Fix search handle leak on rewind. Fix setuid and gid so that they are
  598. reflected in the local inode immediately. Cleanup of whitespace
  599. to make 2.4 and 2.5 versions more consistent.
  600. Version 0.67
  601. ------------
  602. Fix signal sending so that captive thread (cifsd) exits on umount
  603. (which was causing the warning in kmem_cache_free of the request buffers
  604. at rmmod time). This had broken as a sideeffect of the recent global
  605. kernel change to daemonize. Fix memory leak in readdir code which
  606. showed up in "ls -R" (and applications that did search rewinding).
  607. Version 0.66
  608. ------------
  609. Reconnect tids and fids after session reconnection (still do not
  610. reconnect byte range locks though). Fix problem caching
  611. lookup information for directory inodes, improving performance,
  612. especially in deep directory trees. Fix various build warnings.
  613. Version 0.65
  614. ------------
  615. Finish fixes to commit write for caching/readahead consistency. fsx
  616. now works to Samba servers. Fix oops caused when readahead
  617. was interrupted by a signal.
  618. Version 0.64
  619. ------------
  620. Fix data corruption (in partial page after truncate) that caused fsx to
  621. fail to Windows servers. Cleaned up some extraneous error logging in
  622. common error paths. Add generic sendfile support.
  623. Version 0.63
  624. ------------
  625. Fix memory leak in AllocMidQEntry.
  626. Finish reconnection logic, so connection with server can be dropped
  627. (or server rebooted) and the cifs client will reconnect.
  628. Version 0.62
  629. ------------
  630. Fix temporary socket leak when bad userid or password specified
  631. (or other SMBSessSetup failure). Increase maximum buffer size to slightly
  632. over 16K to allow negotiation of up to Samba and Windows server default read
  633. sizes. Add support for readpages
  634. Version 0.61
  635. ------------
  636. Fix oops when username not passed in on mount. Extensive fixes and improvements
  637. to error logging (strip redundant newlines, change debug macros to ensure newline
  638. passed in and to be more consistent). Fix writepage wrong file handle problem,
  639. a readonly file handle could be incorrectly used to attempt to write out
  640. file updates through the page cache to multiply open files. This could cause
  641. the iozone benchmark to fail on the fwrite test. Fix bug mounting two different
  642. shares to the same Windows server when using different usernames
  643. (doing this to Samba servers worked but Windows was rejecting it) - now it is
  644. possible to use different userids when connecting to the same server from a
  645. Linux client. Fix oops when treeDisconnect called during unmount on
  646. previously freed socket.
  647. Version 0.60
  648. ------------
  649. Fix oops in readpages caused by not setting address space operations in inode in
  650. rare code path.
  651. Version 0.59
  652. ------------
  653. Includes support for deleting of open files and renaming over existing files (per POSIX
  654. requirement). Add readlink support for Windows junction points (directory symlinks).
  655. Version 0.58
  656. ------------
  657. Changed read and write to go through pagecache. Added additional address space operations.
  658. Memory mapped operations now working.
  659. Version 0.57
  660. ------------
  661. Added writepage code for additional memory mapping support. Fixed leak in xids causing
  662. the simultaneous operations counter (/proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps) to increase on
  663. every stat call. Additional formatting cleanup.
  664. Version 0.56
  665. ------------
  666. Fix bigendian bug in order of time conversion. Merge 2.5 to 2.4 version. Formatting cleanup.

  671. the smb session and tree connection and mid related global variables.
  672. Version 0.54
  673. ------------
  674. Fix problem with captive thread hanging around at unmount time. Adjust to 2.5.42-pre
  675. changes to superblock layout. Remove wasteful allocation of smb buffers (now the send
  676. buffer is reused for responses). Add more oplock handling. Additional minor cleanup.
  677. Version 0.53
  678. ------------
  679. More stylistic updates to better match kernel style. Add additional statistics
  680. for filesystem which can be viewed via /proc/fs/cifs. Add more pieces of NTLMv2
  681. and CIFS Packet Signing enablement.
  682. Version 0.52
  683. ------------
  684. Replace call to sleep_on with safer wait_on_event.

  688. ------------
  689. Update mount so the -unc mount option is no longer required (the ip address can be specified
  690. in a UNC style device name. Implementation of readpage/writepage started.

  726. Version 0.40
  727. ------------
  728. Implemented "Raw" (i.e. not encapsulated in SPNEGO) NTLMSSP (i.e. the Security Provider Interface used to negotiate
  729. session advanced session authentication). Raw NTLMSSP is preferred by Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP.
  730. Began implementing support for SPNEGO encapsulation of NTLMSSP based session authentication blobs

  732. Version 0.38
  733. ------------
  734. Introduced optional mount helper utility mount.cifs and made coreq changes to cifs vfs to enable
  735. it. Fixed a few bugs in the DFS code (e.g. bcc two bytes too short and incorrect uid in PDU).
  736. Version 0.37
  737. ------------
  738. Rewrote much of connection and mount/unmount logic to handle bugs with
  739. multiple uses to same share, multiple users to same server etc.
  740. Version 0.36
  741. ------------
  742. Fixed major problem with dentry corruption (missing call to dput)
  743. Version 0.35
  744. ------------
  745. Rewrite of readdir code to fix bug. Various fixes for bigendian machines.
  746. Begin adding oplock support. Multiusermount and oplockEnabled flags added to /proc/fs/cifs
  747. although corresponding function not fully implemented in the vfs yet
  748. Version 0.34
  749. ------------
  750. Fixed dentry caching bug, misc. cleanup
  751. Version 0.33
  752. ------------
  753. Fixed 2.5 support to handle build and configure changes as well as misc. 2.5 changes. Now can build
  754. on current 2.5 beta version (2.5.24) of the Linux kernel as well as on 2.4 Linux kernels.
  755. Support for STATUS codes (newer 32 bit NT error codes) added. DFS support begun to be added.
  756. Version 0.32
  757. ------------
  758. Unix extensions (symlink, readlink, hardlink, chmod and some chgrp and chown) implemented
  759. and tested against Samba 2.2.5
  760. Version 0.31
  761. ------------
  762. 1) Fixed lockrange to be correct (it was one byte too short)
  763. 2) Fixed GETLK (i.e. the fcntl call to test a range of bytes in a file to see if locked) to correctly
  764. show range as locked when there is a conflict with an existing lock.
  765. 3) default file perms are now 2767 (indicating support for mandatory locks) instead of 777 for directories
  766. in most cases. Eventually will offer optional ability to query server for the correct perms.
  767. 3) Fixed eventual trap when mounting twice to different shares on the same server when the first succeeded
  768. but the second one was invalid and failed (the second one was incorrectly disconnecting the tcp and smb
  769. session)
  770. 4) Fixed error logging of valid mount options
  771. 5) Removed logging of password field.
  772. 6) Moved negotiate, treeDisconnect and uloggoffX (only tConx and SessSetup remain in connect.c) to cifssmb.c
  773. and cleaned them up and made them more consistent with other cifs functions.
  774. 7) Server support for Unix extensions is now fully detected and FindFirst is implemented both ways
  775. (with or without Unix extensions) but FindNext and QueryPathInfo with the Unix extensions are not completed,
  776. nor is the symlink support using the Unix extensions
  777. 8) Started adding the readlink and follow_link code
  778. Version 0.3
  779. -----------
  780. Initial drop
