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

  282. Version 0.87
  283. ------------
  284. Fix oops on big endian readdir. Set blksize to be even power of two (2**blkbits) to fix

  300. Version 0.83
  301. ------------
  302. Fix oops when mounting to long server names caused by inverted parms to kmalloc.
  303. Fix MultiuserMount (/proc/fs/cifs configuration setting) so that when enabled
  304. we will choose a cifs user session (smb uid) that better matches the local
  305. uid if a) the mount uid does not match the current uid and b) we have another
  306. session to the same server (ip address) for a different mount which

  317. network interoperability since it is common for
  318. packet signing to be required now. Fix statfs (stat -f)
  319. which recently started returning errors due to
  320. invalid value (-1 instead of 0) being set in the
  321. struct kstatfs f_ffiles field.
  322. Version 0.80
  323. -----------
  324. Fix oops on stopping oplock thread when removing cifs when
  325. built as module.
  326. Version 0.79
  327. ------------
  328. Fix mount options for ro (readonly), uid, gid and file and directory mode.
  329. Version 0.78
  330. ------------
  331. Fix errors displayed on failed mounts to be more understandable.
  332. Fixed various incorrect or misleading smb to posix error code mappings.
  333. Version 0.77
  334. ------------
  335. Fix display of NTFS DFS junctions to display as symlinks.
  336. They are the network equivalent. Fix oops in
  337. cifs_partialpagewrite caused by missing spinlock protection
  338. of openfile linked list. Allow writebehind caching errors to
  339. be returned to the application at file close.
  340. Version 0.76
  341. ------------
  342. Clean up options displayed in /proc/mounts by show_options to
  343. be more consistent with other filesystems.

  347. presence or absence of read only dos attribute in mode
  348. bits for servers that do not support CIFS Unix extensions.
  349. Fix shortened results on readdir of large directories to
  350. servers supporting CIFS Unix extensions (caused by
  351. incorrect resume key).
  352. Version 0.74
  353. ------------
  354. Fix truncate bug (set file size) that could cause hangs e.g. running fsx
  355. Version 0.73

  362. allows disabling caching of attribute information for
  363. lookups.
  364. Version 0.71
  365. ------------
  366. Add more oplock handling (distributed caching code). Remove
  367. dead code. Remove excessive stack space utilization from
  368. symlink routines.
  369. Version 0.70
  370. ------------

  376. Fix writepage code to release kmap on write data. Allow "-ip=" new
  377. mount option to be passed in on parameter distinct from the first part
  378. (server name portion of) the UNC name. Allow override of the
  379. tcp port of the target server via new mount option "-port="
  380. Version 0.68
  381. ------------
  382. Fix search handle leak on rewind. Fix setuid and gid so that they are
  383. reflected in the local inode immediately. Cleanup of whitespace
  384. to make 2.4 and 2.5 versions more consistent.
  385. Version 0.67
  386. ------------
  387. Fix signal sending so that captive thread (cifsd) exits on umount
  388. (which was causing the warning in kmem_cache_free of the request buffers
  389. at rmmod time). This had broken as a sideeffect of the recent global
  390. kernel change to daemonize. Fix memory leak in readdir code which
  391. showed up in "ls -R" (and applications that did search rewinding).
  392. Version 0.66
  393. ------------
  394. Reconnect tids and fids after session reconnection (still do not
  395. reconnect byte range locks though). Fix problem caching
  396. lookup information for directory inodes, improving performance,
  397. especially in deep directory trees. Fix various build warnings.

  404. ------------
  405. Fix data corruption (in partial page after truncate) that caused fsx to
  406. fail to Windows servers. Cleaned up some extraneous error logging in
  407. common error paths. Add generic sendfile support.
  408. Version 0.63
  409. ------------
  410. Fix memory leak in AllocMidQEntry.
  411. Finish reconnection logic, so connection with server can be dropped
  412. (or server rebooted) and the cifs client will reconnect.
  413. Version 0.62
  414. ------------
  415. Fix temporary socket leak when bad userid or password specified
  416. (or other SMBSessSetup failure). Increase maximum buffer size to slightly
  417. over 16K to allow negotiation of up to Samba and Windows server default read
  418. sizes. Add support for readpages
  419. Version 0.61
  420. ------------
  421. Fix oops when username not passed in on mount. Extensive fixes and improvements
  422. to error logging (strip redundant newlines, change debug macros to ensure newline
  423. passed in and to be more consistent). Fix writepage wrong file handle problem,
  424. a readonly file handle could be incorrectly used to attempt to write out
  425. file updates through the page cache to multiply open files. This could cause
  426. the iozone benchmark to fail on the fwrite test. Fix bug mounting two different
  427. shares to the same Windows server when using different usernames
  428. (doing this to Samba servers worked but Windows was rejecting it) - now it is
  429. possible to use different userids when connecting to the same server from a
  430. Linux client. Fix oops when treeDisconnect called during unmount on
  431. previously freed socket.
  432. Version 0.60
  433. ------------
  434. Fix oops in readpages caused by not setting address space operations in inode in
  435. rare code path.
  436. Version 0.59
  437. ------------
  438. Includes support for deleting of open files and renaming over existing files (per POSIX
  439. requirement). Add readlink support for Windows junction points (directory symlinks).
  440. Version 0.58
  441. ------------
  442. Changed read and write to go through pagecache. Added additional address space operations.
  443. Memory mapped operations now working.
  444. Version 0.57
  445. ------------
  446. Added writepage code for additional memory mapping support. Fixed leak in xids causing
  447. the simultaneous operations counter (/proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps) to increase on
  448. every stat call. Additional formatting cleanup.
  449. Version 0.56
  450. ------------

  456. the smb session and tree connection and mid related global variables.
  457. Version 0.54
  458. ------------
  459. Fix problem with captive thread hanging around at unmount time. Adjust to 2.5.42-pre
  460. changes to superblock layout. Remove wasteful allocation of smb buffers (now the send
  461. buffer is reused for responses). Add more oplock handling. Additional minor cleanup.
  462. Version 0.53
  463. ------------

  473. ------------
  474. Update mount so the -unc mount option is no longer required (the ip address can be specified
  475. in a UNC style device name. Implementation of readpage/writepage started.

  512. ------------
  513. Implemented "Raw" (i.e. not encapsulated in SPNEGO) NTLMSSP (i.e. the Security Provider Interface used to negotiate
  514. session advanced session authentication). Raw NTLMSSP is preferred by Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP.

  533. Version 0.34
  534. ------------
  535. Fixed dentry caching bug, misc. cleanup
  536. Version 0.33
  537. ------------
  538. Fixed 2.5 support to handle build and configure changes as well as misc. 2.5 changes. Now can build

  540. Support for STATUS codes (newer 32 bit NT error codes) added. DFS support begun to be added.
  541. Version 0.32
  542. ------------
  543. Unix extensions (symlink, readlink, hardlink, chmod and some chgrp and chown) implemented

  545. Version 0.31
  546. ------------
  547. 1) Fixed lockrange to be correct (it was one byte too short)
  548. 2) Fixed GETLK (i.e. the fcntl call to test a range of bytes in a file to see if locked) to correctly
  549. show range as locked when there is a conflict with an existing lock.
  550. 3) default file perms are now 2767 (indicating support for mandatory locks) instead of 777 for directories
  551. in most cases. Eventually will offer optional ability to query server for the correct perms.
  552. 3) Fixed eventual trap when mounting twice to different shares on the same server when the first succeeded
  553. but the second one was invalid and failed (the second one was incorrectly disconnecting the tcp and smb
  554. session)
  555. 4) Fixed error logging of valid mount options
  556. 5) Removed logging of password field.
  557. 6) Moved negotiate, treeDisconnect and uloggoffX (only tConx and SessSetup remain in connect.c) to cifssmb.c
  558. and cleaned them up and made them more consistent with other cifs functions.
  559. 7) Server support for Unix extensions is now fully detected and FindFirst is implemented both ways
  560. (with or without Unix exentions) but FindNext and QueryPathInfo with the Unix extensions are not completed,
  561. nor is the symlink support using the Unix extensions
  562. 8) Started adding the readlink and follow_link code
