  1. Version 1.34
  2. ------------
  3. Fix error mapping of the TOO_MANY_LINKS (hardlinks) case.
  4. Do not oops if root user kills cifs oplock kernel thread or
  5. kills the cifsd thread (NB: killing the cifs kernel threads is not
  6. recommended, unmount and rmmod cifs will kill them when they are
  7. no longer needed). Fix readdir to ASCII servers (ie older servers
  8. which do not support Unicode) and also require asterik.
  9. Fix out of memory case in which data could be written one page
  10. off in the page cache.
  11. Version 1.33
  12. ------------
  13. Fix caching problem, in which readdir of directory containing a file
  14. which was cached could cause the file's time stamp to be updated
  15. without invalidating the readahead data (so we could get stale
  16. file data on the client for that file even as the server copy changed).
  17. Cleanup response processing so cifsd can not loop when abnormally
  18. terminated.
  19. Version 1.32
  20. ------------
  21. Fix oops in ls when Transact2 FindFirst (or FindNext) returns more than one
  22. transact response for an SMB request and search entry split across two frames.
  23. Add support for lsattr (getting ext2/ext3/reiserfs attr flags from the server)
  24. as new protocol extensions. Do not send Get/Set calls for POSIX ACLs
  25. unless server explicitly claims to support them in CIFS Unix extensions
  26. POSIX ACL capability bit. Fix packet signing when multiuser mounting with
  27. different users from the same client to the same server. Fix oops in
  28. cifs_close. Add mount option for remapping reserved characters in
  29. filenames (also allow recognizing files with created by SFU which have any
  30. of these seven reserved characters, except backslash, to be recognized).
  31. Fix invalid transact2 message (we were sometimes trying to interpret
  32. oplock breaks as SMB responses). Add ioctl for checking that the
  33. current uid matches the uid of the mounter (needed by umount.cifs).
  34. Reduce the number of large buffer allocations in cifs response processing
  35. (significantly reduces memory pressure under heavy stress with multiple
  36. processes accessing the same server at the same time).
  37. Version 1.31
  38. ------------
  39. Fix updates of DOS attributes and time fields so that files on NT4 servers
  40. do not get marked delete on close. Display sizes of cifs buffer pools in
  41. cifs stats. Fix oops in unmount when cifsd thread being killed by
  42. shutdown. Add generic readv/writev and aio support. Report inode numbers
  43. consistently in readdir and lookup (when serverino mount option is
  44. specified use the inode number that the server reports - for both lookup
  45. and readdir, otherwise by default the locally generated inode number is used
  46. for inodes created in either path since servers are not always able to
  47. provide unique inode numbers when exporting multiple volumes from under one
  48. sharename).
  49. Version 1.30
  50. ------------
  51. Allow new nouser_xattr mount parm to disable xattr support for user namespace.
  52. Do not flag user_xattr mount parm in dmesg. Retry failures setting file time
  53. (mostly affects NT4 servers) by retry with handle based network operation.
  54. Add new POSIX Query FS Info for returning statfs info more accurately.
  55. Handle passwords with multiple commas in them.
  56. Version 1.29
  57. ------------
  58. Fix default mode in sysfs of cifs module parms. Remove old readdir routine.
  59. Fix capabilities flags for large readx so as to allow reads larger than 64K.
  60. Version 1.28
  61. ------------
  62. Add module init parm for large SMB buffer size (to allow it to be changed
  63. from its default of 16K) which is especially useful for large file copy
  64. when mounting with the directio mount option. Fix oops after
  65. returning from mount when experimental ExtendedSecurity enabled and
  66. SpnegoNegotiated returning invalid error. Fix case to retry better when
  67. peek returns from 1 to 3 bytes on socket which should have more data.
  68. Fixed path based calls (such as cifs lookup) to handle path names
  69. longer than 530 (now can handle PATH_MAX). Fix pass through authentication
  70. from Samba server to DC (Samba required dummy LM password).
  71. Version 1.27
  72. ------------
  73. Turn off DNOTIFY (directory change notification support) by default
  74. (unless built with the experimental flag) to fix hang with KDE
  75. file browser. Fix DNOTIFY flag mappings. Fix hang (in wait_event
  76. waiting on an SMB response) in SendReceive when session dies but
  77. reconnects quickly from another task. Add module init parms for
  78. minimum number of large and small network buffers in the buffer pools,
  79. and for the maximum number of simultaneous requests.
  80. Version 1.26
  81. ------------
  82. Add setfacl support to allow setting of ACLs remotely to Samba 3.10 and later
  83. and other POSIX CIFS compliant servers. Fix error mapping for getfacl
  84. to EOPNOTSUPP when server does not support posix acls on the wire. Fix
  85. improperly zeroed buffer in CIFS Unix extensions set times call.
  86. Version 1.25
  87. ------------
  88. Fix internationlization problem in cifs readdir with filenames that map to
  89. longer UTF8 strings than the string on the wire was in Unicode. Add workaround
  90. for readdir to netapp servers. Fix search rewind (seek into readdir to return
  91. non-consecutive entries). Do not do readdir when server negotiates
  92. buffer size to small to fit filename. Add support for reading POSIX ACLs from
  93. the server (add also acl and noacl mount options).
  94. Version 1.24
  95. ------------
  96. Optionally allow using server side inode numbers, rather than client generated
  97. ones by specifying mount option "serverino" - this is required for some apps
  98. to work which double check hardlinked files and have persistent inode numbers.
  99. Version 1.23
  100. ------------
  101. Multiple bigendian fixes. On little endian systems (for reconnect after
  102. network failure) fix tcp session reconnect code so we do not try first
  103. to reconnect on reverse of port 445. Treat reparse points (NTFS junctions)
  104. as directories rather than symlinks because we can do follow link on them.
  105. Version 1.22
  106. ------------
  107. Add config option to enable XATTR (extended attribute) support, mapping
  108. xattr names in the "user." namespace space to SMB/CIFS EAs. Lots of
  109. minor fixes pointed out by the Stanford SWAT checker (mostly missing
  110. or out of order NULL pointer checks in little used error paths).
  111. Version 1.21
  112. ------------
  113. Add new mount parm to control whether mode check (generic_permission) is done
  114. on the client. If Unix extensions are enabled and the uids on the client
  115. and server do not match, client permission checks are meaningless on
  116. server uids that do not exist on the client (this does not affect the
  117. normal ACL check which occurs on the server). Fix default uid
  118. on mknod to match create and mkdir. Add optional mount parm to allow
  119. override of the default uid behavior (in which the server sets the uid
  120. and gid of newly created files). Normally for network filesystem mounts
  121. user want the server to set the uid/gid on newly created files (rather than
  122. using uid of the client processes you would in a local filesystem).
  123. Version 1.20
  124. ------------
  125. Make transaction counts more consistent. Merge /proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps
  126. info into /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData. Fix oops in rare oops in readdir
  127. (in build_wildcard_path_from_dentry). Fix mknod to pass type field
  128. (block/char/fifo) properly. Remove spurious mount warning log entry when
  129. credentials passed as mount argument. Set major/minor device number in
  130. inode for block and char devices when unix extensions enabled.
  131. Version 1.19
  132. ------------
  133. Fix /proc/fs/cifs/Stats and DebugData display to handle larger
  134. amounts of return data. Properly limit requests to MAX_REQ (50
  135. is the usual maximum active multiplex SMB/CIFS requests per server).
  136. Do not kill cifsd (and thus hurt the other SMB session) when more than one
  137. session to the same server (but with different userids) exists and one
  138. of the two user's smb sessions is being removed while leaving the other.
  139. Do not loop reconnecting in cifsd demultiplex thread when admin
  140. kills the thread without going through unmount.
  141. Version 1.18
  142. ------------
  143. Do not rename hardlinked files (since that should be a noop). Flush
  144. cached write behind data when reopening a file after session abend,
  145. except when already in write. Grab per socket sem during reconnect
  146. to avoid oops in sendmsg if overlapping with reconnect. Do not
  147. reset cached inode file size on readdir for files open for write on
  148. client.
  149. Version 1.17
  150. ------------
  151. Update number of blocks in file so du command is happier (in Linux a fake
  152. blocksize of 512 is required for calculating number of blocks in inode).
  153. Fix prepare write of partial pages to read in data from server if possible.
  154. Fix race on tcpStatus field between unmount and reconnection code, causing
  155. cifsd process sometimes to hang around forever. Improve out of memory
  156. checks in cifs_filldir
  157. Version 1.16
  158. ------------
  159. Fix incorrect file size in file handle based setattr on big endian hardware.
  160. Fix oops in build_path_from_dentry when out of memory. Add checks for invalid
  161. and closing file structs in writepage/partialpagewrite. Add statistics
  162. for each mounted share (new menuconfig option). Fix endianness problem in
  163. volume information displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData (only affects
  164. affects big endian architectures). Prevent renames while constructing
  165. path names for open, mkdir and rmdir.
  166. Version 1.15
  167. ------------
  168. Change to mempools for alloc smb request buffers and multiplex structs
  169. to better handle low memory problems (and potential deadlocks).
  170. Version 1.14
  171. ------------
  172. Fix incomplete listings of large directories on Samba servers when Unix
  173. extensions enabled. Fix oops when smb_buffer can not be allocated. Fix
  174. rename deadlock when writing out dirty pages at same time.
  175. Version 1.13
  176. ------------
  177. Fix open of files in which O_CREATE can cause the mode to change in
  178. some cases. Fix case in which retry of write overlaps file close.
  179. Fix PPC64 build error. Reduce excessive stack usage in smb password
  180. hashing. Fix overwrite of Linux user's view of file mode to Windows servers.
  181. Version 1.12
  182. ------------
  183. Fixes for large file copy, signal handling, socket retry, buffer
  184. allocation and low memory situations.
  185. Version 1.11
  186. ------------
  187. Better port 139 support to Windows servers (RFC1001/RFC1002 Session_Initialize)
  188. also now allowing support for specifying client netbiosname. NT4 support added.
  189. Version 1.10
  190. ------------
  191. Fix reconnection (and certain failed mounts) to properly wake up the
  192. blocked users thread so it does not seem hung (in some cases was blocked
  193. until the cifs receive timeout expired). Fix spurious error logging
  194. to kernel log when application with open network files killed.
  195. Version 1.09
  196. ------------
  197. Fix /proc/fs module unload warning message (that could be logged
  198. to the kernel log). Fix intermittent failure in connectathon
  199. test7 (hardlink count not immediately refreshed in case in which
  200. inode metadata can be incorrectly kept cached when time near zero)
  201. Version 1.08
  202. ------------
  203. Allow file_mode and dir_mode (specified at mount time) to be enforced
  204. locally (the server already enforced its own ACLs too) for servers
  205. that do not report the correct mode (do not support the
  206. CIFS Unix Extensions).
  207. Version 1.07
  208. ------------
  209. Fix some small memory leaks in some unmount error paths. Fix major leak
  210. of cache pages in readpages causing multiple read oriented stress
  211. testcases (including fsx, and even large file copy) to fail over time.
  212. Version 1.06
  213. ------------
  214. Send NTCreateX with ATTR_POSIX if Linux/Unix extensions negotiated with server.
  215. This allows files that differ only in case and improves performance of file
  216. creation and file open to such servers. Fix semaphore conflict which causes
  217. slow delete of open file to Samba (which unfortunately can cause an oplock
  218. break to self while vfs_unlink held i_sem) which can hang for 20 seconds.
  219. Version 1.05
  220. ------------
  221. fixes to cifs_readpages for fsx test case
  222. Version 1.04
  223. ------------
  224. Fix caching data integrity bug when extending file size especially when no
  225. oplock on file. Fix spurious logging of valid already parsed mount options
  226. that are parsed outside of the cifs vfs such as nosuid.
  227. Version 1.03
  228. ------------
  229. Connect to server when port number override not specified, and tcp port
  230. unitialized. Reset search to restart at correct file when kernel routine
  231. filldir returns error during large directory searches (readdir).
  232. Version 1.02
  233. ------------
  234. Fix caching problem when files opened by multiple clients in which
  235. page cache could contain stale data, and write through did
  236. not occur often enough while file was still open when read ahead
  237. (read oplock) not allowed. Treat "sep=" when first mount option
  238. as an overrride of comma as the default separator between mount
  239. options.
  240. Version 1.01
  241. ------------
  242. Allow passwords longer than 16 bytes. Allow null password string.
  243. Version 1.00
  244. ------------
  245. Gracefully clean up failed mounts when attempting to mount to servers such as
  246. Windows 98 that terminate tcp sessions during prototocol negotiation. Handle
  247. embedded commas in mount parsing of passwords.
  248. Version 0.99
  249. ------------
  250. Invalidate local inode cached pages on oplock break and when last file
  251. instance is closed so that the client does not continue using stale local
  252. copy rather than later modified server copy of file. Do not reconnect
  253. when server drops the tcp session prematurely before negotiate
  254. protocol response. Fix oops in roepen_file when dentry freed. Allow
  255. the support for CIFS Unix Extensions to be disabled via proc interface.
  256. Version 0.98
  257. ------------
  258. Fix hang in commit_write during reconnection of open files under heavy load.
  259. Fix unload_nls oops in a mount failure path. Serialize writes to same socket
  260. which also fixes any possible races when cifs signatures are enabled in SMBs
  261. being sent out of signature sequence number order.
  262. Version 0.97
  263. ------------
  264. Fix byte range locking bug (endian problem) causing bad offset and
  265. length.
  266. Version 0.96
  267. ------------
  268. Fix oops (in send_sig) caused by CIFS unmount code trying to
  269. wake up the demultiplex thread after it had exited. Do not log
  270. error on harmless oplock release of closed handle.
  271. Version 0.95
  272. ------------
  273. Fix unsafe global variable usage and password hash failure on gcc 3.3.1
  274. Fix problem reconnecting secondary mounts to same server after session
  275. failure. Fix invalid dentry - race in mkdir when directory gets created
  276. by another client between the lookup and mkdir.

  288. Active smb transactions should never go negative (fix double FreeXid). Fix
  289. list processing in file routines. Check return code on kmalloc in open.
  290. Fix spinlock usage for SMP.
  291. Version 0.91
  292. ------------
  293. Fix oops in reopen_files when invalid dentry. drop dentry on server rename
  294. and on revalidate errors. Fix cases where pid is now tgid. Fix return code
  295. on create hard link when server does not support them.

  301. ------------
  302. Fix oops on write to dead tcp session. Remove error log write for case when file open
  303. O_CREAT but not O_EXCL
  304. Version 0.88
  305. ------------
  306. Fix non-POSIX behavior on rename of open file and delete of open file by taking

  308. Retry on ENOSPC and EAGAIN socket errors.
  309. Version 0.87
  310. ------------
  311. Fix oops on big endian readdir. Set blksize to be even power of two (2**blkbits) to fix

  325. Enable oplock by default. Enable packet signing by default (needed to
  326. access many recent Windows servers)
  327. Version 0.83
  328. ------------
  329. Fix oops when mounting to long server names caused by inverted parms to kmalloc.
  330. Fix MultiuserMount (/proc/fs/cifs configuration setting) so that when enabled
  331. we will choose a cifs user session (smb uid) that better matches the local
  332. uid if a) the mount uid does not match the current uid and b) we have another
  333. session to the same server (ip address) for a different mount which
  334. matches the current local uid.

  374. presence or absence of read only dos attribute in mode
  375. bits for servers that do not support CIFS Unix extensions.
  376. Fix shortened results on readdir of large directories to
  377. servers supporting CIFS Unix extensions (caused by
  378. incorrect resume key).
  379. Version 0.74

  399. mount). Add support for overriding rsize at mount time.
  400. Version 0.69
  401. ------------
  402. Fix buffer overrun in readdir which caused intermittent kernel oopses.
  403. Fix writepage code to release kmap on write data. Allow "-ip=" new
  404. mount option to be passed in on parameter distinct from the first part
  405. (server name portion of) the UNC name. Allow override of the
  406. tcp port of the target server via new mount option "-port="
  407. Version 0.68
  408. ------------
  409. Fix search handle leak on rewind. Fix setuid and gid so that they are
  410. reflected in the local inode immediately. Cleanup of whitespace
  411. to make 2.4 and 2.5 versions more consistent.
  412. Version 0.67
  413. ------------
  414. Fix signal sending so that captive thread (cifsd) exits on umount
  415. (which was causing the warning in kmem_cache_free of the request buffers
  416. at rmmod time). This had broken as a sideeffect of the recent global
  417. kernel change to daemonize. Fix memory leak in readdir code which
  418. showed up in "ls -R" (and applications that did search rewinding).
  419. Version 0.66

  431. ------------
  432. Fix data corruption (in partial page after truncate) that caused fsx to
  433. fail to Windows servers. Cleaned up some extraneous error logging in
  434. common error paths. Add generic sendfile support.
  435. Version 0.63
  436. ------------
  437. Fix memory leak in AllocMidQEntry.
  438. Finish reconnection logic, so connection with server can be dropped
  439. (or server rebooted) and the cifs client will reconnect.
  440. Version 0.62
  441. ------------
  442. Fix temporary socket leak when bad userid or password specified
  443. (or other SMBSessSetup failure). Increase maximum buffer size to slightly
  444. over 16K to allow negotiation of up to Samba and Windows server default read
  445. sizes. Add support for readpages
  446. Version 0.61
  447. ------------
  448. Fix oops when username not passed in on mount. Extensive fixes and improvements
  449. to error logging (strip redundant newlines, change debug macros to ensure newline
  450. passed in and to be more consistent). Fix writepage wrong file handle problem,
  451. a readonly file handle could be incorrectly used to attempt to write out
  452. file updates through the page cache to multiply open files. This could cause
  453. the iozone benchmark to fail on the fwrite test. Fix bug mounting two different
  454. shares to the same Windows server when using different usernames
  455. (doing this to Samba servers worked but Windows was rejecting it) - now it is
  456. possible to use different userids when connecting to the same server from a
  457. Linux client. Fix oops when treeDisconnect called during unmount on
  458. previously freed socket.
  459. Version 0.60
  460. ------------
  461. Fix oops in readpages caused by not setting address space operations in inode in
  462. rare code path.

  464. ------------
  465. Includes support for deleting of open files and renaming over existing files (per POSIX
  466. requirement). Add readlink support for Windows junction points (directory symlinks).
  467. Version 0.58
  468. ------------
  469. Changed read and write to go through pagecache. Added additional address space operations.
  470. Memory mapped operations now working.
  471. Version 0.57
  472. ------------

  560. Version 0.34
  561. ------------
  562. Fixed dentry caching bug, misc. cleanup
  563. Version 0.33
  564. ------------
  565. Fixed 2.5 support to handle build and configure changes as well as misc. 2.5 changes. Now can build

  572. Version 0.31
  573. ------------
  574. 1) Fixed lockrange to be correct (it was one byte too short)
  575. 2) Fixed GETLK (i.e. the fcntl call to test a range of bytes in a file to see if locked) to correctly
  576. show range as locked when there is a conflict with an existing lock.
  577. 3) default file perms are now 2767 (indicating support for mandatory locks) instead of 777 for directories
  578. in most cases. Eventually will offer optional ability to query server for the correct perms.
  579. 3) Fixed eventual trap when mounting twice to different shares on the same server when the first succeeded
  580. but the second one was invalid and failed (the second one was incorrectly disconnecting the tcp and smb
  581. session)
  582. 4) Fixed error logging of valid mount options
  583. 5) Removed logging of password field.
  584. 6) Moved negotiate, treeDisconnect and uloggoffX (only tConx and SessSetup remain in connect.c) to cifssmb.c
  585. and cleaned them up and made them more consistent with other cifs functions.
  586. 7) Server support for Unix extensions is now fully detected and FindFirst is implemented both ways
  587. (with or without Unix exentions) but FindNext and QueryPathInfo with the Unix extensions are not completed,
  588. nor is the symlink support using the Unix extensions
  589. 8) Started adding the readlink and follow_link code
