EA (xattr) routines hardened -to more strictly handle corrupt frames. - -Version 1.61 ------------- -Fix append problem to Samba servers (files opened with O_APPEND could -have duplicated data). Fix oops in cifs_lookup. Workaround problem -mounting to OS/400 Netserve. Fix oops in cifs_get_tcp_session. -Disable use of server inode numbers when server only -partially supports them (e.g. for one server querying inode numbers on -FindFirst fails but QPathInfo queries works). Fix oops with dfs in -cifs_put_smb_ses. Fix mmap to work on directio mounts (needed -for OpenOffice when on forcedirectio mount e.g.) - -Version 1.60 -------------- -Fix memory leak in reconnect. Fix oops in DFS mount error path. -Set s_maxbytes to smaller (the max that vfs can handle) so that -sendfile will now work over cifs mounts again. Add noforcegid -and noforceuid mount parameters. Fix small mem leak when using -ntlmv2. Fix 2nd mount to same server but with different port to -be allowed (rather than reusing the 1st port) - only when the -user explicitly overrides the port on the 2nd mount. - -Version 1.59 ------------- -Client uses server inode numbers (which are persistent) rather than -client generated ones by default (mount option "serverino" turned -on by default if server supports it). Add forceuid and forcegid -mount options (so that when negotiating unix extensions specifying -which uid mounted does not immediately force the server's reported -uids to be overridden). Add support for scope mount parm. Improve -hard link detection to use same inode for both. Do not set -read-only dos attribute on directories (for chmod) since Windows -explorer special cases this attribute bit for directories for -a different purpose. - -Version 1.58 ------------- -Guard against buffer overruns in various UCS-2 to UTF-8 string conversions -when the UTF-8 string is composed of unusually long (more than 4 byte) converted -characters. Add support for mounting root of a share which redirects immediately -to DFS target. Convert string conversion functions from Unicode to more -accurately mark string length before allocating memory (which may help the -rare cases where a UTF-8 string is much larger than the UCS2 string that -we converted from). Fix endianness of the vcnum field used during -session setup to distinguish multiple mounts to same server from different -userids. Raw NTLMSSP fixed (it requires /proc/fs/cifs/experimental -flag to be set to 2, and mount must enable krb5 to turn on extended security). -Performance of file create to Samba improved (posix create on lookup -removes 1 of 2 network requests sent on file create) - -Version 1.57 ------------- -Improve support for multiple security contexts to the same server. We -used to use the same "vcnumber" for all connections which could cause -the server to treat subsequent connections, especially those that -are authenticated as guest, as reconnections, invalidating the earlier -user's smb session. This fix allows cifs to mount multiple times to the -same server with different userids without risking invalidating earlier -established security contexts. fsync now sends SMB Flush operation -to better ensure that we wait for server to write all of the data to -server disk (not just write it over the network). Add new mount -parameter to allow user to disable sending the (slow) SMB flush on -fsync if desired (fsync still flushes all cached write data to the server). -Posix file open support added (turned off after one attempt if server -fails to support it properly, as with Samba server versions prior to 3.3.2) -Fix "redzone overwritten" bug in cifs_put_tcon (CIFSTcon may allocate too -little memory for the "nativeFileSystem" field returned by the server -during mount). Endian convert inode numbers if necessary (makes it easier -to compare inode numbers on network files from big endian systems). - -Version 1.56 ------------- -Add "forcemandatorylock" mount option to allow user to use mandatory -rather than posix (advisory) byte range locks, even though server would -support posix byte range locks. Fix query of root inode when prefixpath -specified and user does not have access to query information about the -top of the share. Fix problem in 2.6.28 resolving DFS paths to -Samba servers (worked to Windows). Fix rmdir so that pending search -(readdir) requests do not get invalid results which include the now -removed directory. Fix oops in cifs_dfs_ref.c when prefixpath is not reachable -when using DFS. Add better file create support to servers which support -the CIFS POSIX protocol extensions (this adds support for new flags -on create, and improves semantics for write of locked ranges). - -Version 1.55 ------------- -Various fixes to make delete of open files behavior more predictable -(when delete of an open file fails we mark the file as "delete-on-close" -in a way that more servers accept, but only if we can first rename the -file to a temporary name). Add experimental support for more safely -handling fcntl(F_SETLEASE). Convert cifs to using blocking tcp -sends, and also let tcp autotune the socket send and receive buffers. -This reduces the number of EAGAIN errors returned by TCP/IP in -high stress workloads (and the number of retries on socket writes -when sending large SMBWriteX requests). Fix case in which a portion of -data can in some cases not get written to the file on the server before the -file is closed. Fix DFS parsing to properly handle path consumed field, -and to handle certain codepage conversions better. Fix mount and -umount race that can cause oops in mount or umount or reconnect. - -Version 1.54 ------------- -Fix premature write failure on congested networks (we would give up -on EAGAIN from the socket too quickly on large writes). -Cifs_mkdir and cifs_create now respect the setgid bit on parent dir. -Fix endian problems in acl (mode from/to cifs acl) on bigendian -architectures. Fix problems with preserving timestamps on copying open -files (e.g. "cp -a") to Windows servers. For mkdir and create honor setgid bit -on parent directory when server supports Unix Extensions but not POSIX -create. Update cifs.upcall version to handle new Kerberos sec flags -(this requires update of cifs.upcall program from Samba). Fix memory leak -on dns_upcall (resolving DFS referralls). Fix plain text password -authentication (requires setting SecurityFlags to 0x30030 to enable -lanman and plain text though). Fix writes to be at correct offset when -file is open with O_APPEND and file is on a directio (forcediretio) mount. -Fix bug in rewinding readdir directory searches. Add nodfs mount option. - -Version 1.53 ------------- -DFS support added (Microsoft Distributed File System client support needed -for referrals which enable a hierarchical name space among servers). -Disable temporary caching of mode bits to servers which do not support -storing of mode (e.g. Windows servers, when client mounts without cifsacl -mount option) and add new "dynperm" mount option to enable temporary caching -of mode (enable old behavior). Fix hang on mount caused when server crashes -tcp session during negotiate protocol. - -Version 1.52 ------------- -Fix oops on second mount to server when null auth is used. -Enable experimental Kerberos support. Return writebehind errors on flush -and sync so that events like out of disk space get reported properly on -cached files. Fix setxattr failure to certain Samba versions. Fix mount -of second share to disconnected server session (autoreconnect on this). -Add ability to modify cifs acls for handling chmod (when mounted with -cifsacl flag). Fix prefixpath path separator so we can handle mounts -with prefixpaths longer than one directory (one path component) when -mounted to Windows servers. Fix slow file open when cifsacl -enabled. Fix memory leak in FindNext when the SMB call returns -EBADF. - - -Version 1.51 ------------- -Fix memory leak in statfs when mounted to very old servers (e.g. -Windows 9x). Add new feature "POSIX open" which allows servers -which support the current POSIX Extensions to provide better semantics -(e.g. delete for open files opened with posix open). Take into -account umask on posix mkdir not just older style mkdir. Add -ability to mount to IPC$ share (which allows CIFS named pipes to be -opened, read and written as if they were files). When 1st tree -connect fails (e.g. due to signing negotiation failure) fix -leak that causes cifsd not to stop and rmmod to fail to cleanup -cifs_request_buffers pool. Fix problem with POSIX Open/Mkdir on -bigendian architectures. Fix possible memory corruption when -EAGAIN returned on kern_recvmsg. Return better error if server -requires packet signing but client has disabled it. When mounted -with cifsacl mount option - mode bits are approximated based -on the contents of the ACL of the file or directory. When cifs -mount helper is missing convert make sure that UNC name -has backslash (not forward slash) between ip address of server -and the share name. - -Version 1.50 ------------- -Fix NTLMv2 signing. NFS server mounted over cifs works (if cifs mount is -done with "serverino" mount option). Add support for POSIX Unlink -(helps with certain sharing violation cases when server such as -Samba supports newer POSIX CIFS Protocol Extensions). Add "nounix" -mount option to allow disabling the CIFS Unix Extensions for just -that mount. Fix hang on spinlock in find_writable_file (race when -reopening file after session crash). Byte range unlock request to -windows server could unlock more bytes (on server copy of file) -than intended if start of unlock request is well before start of -a previous byte range lock that we issued. - -Version 1.49 ------------- -IPv6 support. Enable ipv6 addresses to be passed on mount (put the ipv6 -address after the "ip=" mount option, at least until mount.cifs is fixed to -handle DNS host to ipv6 name translation). Accept override of uid or gid -on mount even when Unix Extensions are negotiated (it used to be ignored -when Unix Extensions were ignored). This allows users to override the -default uid and gid for files when they are certain that the uids or -gids on the server do not match those of the client. Make "sec=none" -mount override username (so that null user connection is attempted) -to match what documentation said. Support for very large reads, over 127K, -available to some newer servers (such as Samba 3.0.26 and later but -note that it also requires setting CIFSMaxBufSize at module install -time to a larger value which may hurt performance in some cases). -Make sign option force signing (or fail if server does not support it). - -Version 1.48 ------------- -Fix mtime bouncing around from local idea of last write times to remote time. -Fix hang (in i_size_read) when simultaneous size update of same remote file -on smp system corrupts sequence number. Do not reread unnecessarily partial page -(which we are about to overwrite anyway) when writing out file opened rw. -When DOS attribute of file on non-Unix server's file changes on the server side -from read-only back to read-write, reflect this change in default file mode -(we had been leaving a file's mode read-only until the inode were reloaded). -Allow setting of attribute back to ATTR_NORMAL (removing readonly dos attribute -when archive dos attribute not set and we are changing mode back to writeable -on server which does not support the Unix Extensions). Remove read only dos -attribute on chmod when adding any write permission (ie on any of -user/group/other (not all of user/group/other ie 0222) when -mounted to windows. Add support for POSIX MkDir (slight performance -enhancement and eliminates the network race between the mkdir and set -path info of the mode). - - -Version 1.47 ------------- -Fix oops in list_del during mount caused by unaligned string. -Fix file corruption which could occur on some large file -copies caused by writepages page i/o completion bug. -Seek to SEEK_END forces check for update of file size for non-cached -files. Allow file size to be updated on remote extend of locally open, -non-cached file. Fix reconnect to newer Samba servers (or other servers -which support the CIFS Unix/POSIX extensions) so that we again tell the -server the Unix/POSIX cifs capabilities which we support (SetFSInfo). -Add experimental support for new POSIX Open/Mkdir (which returns -stat information on the open, and allows setting the mode). - -Version 1.46 ------------- -Support deep tree mounts. Better support OS/2, Win9x (DOS) time stamps. -Allow null user to be specified on mount ("username="). Do not return -EINVAL on readdir when filldir fails due to overwritten blocksize -(fixes FC problem). Return error in rename 2nd attempt retry (ie report -if rename by handle also fails, after rename by path fails, we were -not reporting whether the retry worked or not). Fix NTLMv2 to -work to Windows servers (mount with option "sec=ntlmv2"). - -Version 1.45 ------------- -Do not time out lockw calls when using posix extensions. Do not -time out requests if server still responding reasonably fast -on requests on other threads. Improve POSIX locking emulation, -(lock cancel now works, and unlock of merged range works even -to Windows servers now). Fix oops on mount to lanman servers -(win9x, os/2 etc.) when null password. Do not send listxattr -(SMB to query all EAs) if nouser_xattr specified. Fix SE Linux -problem (instantiate inodes/dentries in right order for readdir). - -Version 1.44 ------------- -Rewritten sessionsetup support, including support for legacy SMB -session setup needed for OS/2 and older servers such as Windows 95 and 98. -Fix oops on ls to OS/2 servers. Add support for level 1 FindFirst -so we can do search (ls etc.) to OS/2. Do not send NTCreateX -or recent levels of FindFirst unless server says it supports NT SMBs -(instead use legacy equivalents from LANMAN dialect). Fix to allow -NTLMv2 authentication support (now can use stronger password hashing -on mount if corresponding /proc/fs/cifs/SecurityFlags is set (0x4004). -Allow override of global cifs security flags on mount via "sec=" option(s). - -Version 1.43 ------------- -POSIX locking to servers which support CIFS POSIX Extensions -(disabled by default controlled by proc/fs/cifs/Experimental). -Handle conversion of long share names (especially Asian languages) -to Unicode during mount. Fix memory leak in sess struct on reconnect. -Fix rare oops after acpi suspend. Fix O_TRUNC opens to overwrite on -cifs open which helps rare case when setpathinfo fails or server does -not support it. - -Version 1.42 ------------- -Fix slow oplock break when mounted to different servers at the same time and -the tids match and we try to find matching fid on wrong server. Fix read -looping when signing required by server (2.6.16 kernel only). Fix readdir -vs. rename race which could cause each to hang. Return . and .. even -if server does not. Allow searches to skip first three entries and -begin at any location. Fix oops in find_writeable_file. - -Version 1.41 ------------- -Fix NTLMv2 security (can be enabled in /proc/fs/cifs) so customers can -configure stronger authentication. Fix sfu symlinks so they can -be followed (not just recognized). Fix wraparound of bcc on -read responses when buffer size over 64K and also fix wrap of -max smb buffer size when CIFSMaxBufSize over 64K. Fix oops in -cifs_user_read and cifs_readpages (when EAGAIN on send of smb -on socket is returned over and over). Add POSIX (advisory) byte range -locking support (requires server with newest CIFS UNIX Extensions -to the protocol implemented). Slow down negprot slightly in port 139 -RFC1001 case to give session_init time on buggy servers. - -Version 1.40 ------------- -Use fsuid (fsgid) more consistently instead of uid (gid). Improve performance -of readpages by eliminating one extra memcpy. Allow update of file size -from remote server even if file is open for write as long as mount is -directio. Recognize share mode security and send NTLM encrypted password -on tree connect if share mode negotiated. - -Version 1.39 ------------- -Defer close of a file handle slightly if pending writes depend on that handle -(this reduces the EBADF bad file handle errors that can be logged under heavy -stress on writes). Modify cifs Kconfig options to expose CONFIG_CIFS_STATS2 -Fix SFU style symlinks and mknod needed for servers which do not support the -CIFS Unix Extensions. Fix setfacl/getfacl on bigendian. Timeout negative -dentries so files that the client sees as deleted but that later get created -on the server will be recognized. Add client side permission check on setattr. -Timeout stuck requests better (where server has never responded or sent corrupt -responses) - -Version 1.38 ------------- -Fix tcp socket retransmission timeouts (e.g. on ENOSPACE from the socket) -to be smaller at first (but increasing) so large write performance performance -over GigE is better. Do not hang thread on illegal byte range lock response -from Windows (Windows can send an RFC1001 size which does not match smb size) by -allowing an SMBs TCP length to be up to a few bytes longer than it should be. -wsize and rsize can now be larger than negotiated buffer size if server -supports large readx/writex, even when directio mount flag not specified. -Write size will in many cases now be 16K instead of 4K which greatly helps -file copy performance on lightly loaded networks. Fix oops in dnotify -when experimental config flag enabled. Make cifsFYI more granular. - -Version 1.37 ------------- -Fix readdir caching when unlink removes file in current search buffer, -and this is followed by a rewind search to just before the deleted entry. -Do not attempt to set ctime unless atime and/or mtime change requested -(most servers throw it away anyway). Fix length check of received smbs -to be more accurate. Fix big endian problem with mapchars mount option, -and with a field returned by statfs. - -Version 1.36 ------------- -Add support for mounting to older pre-CIFS servers such as Windows9x and ME. -For these older servers, add option for passing netbios name of server in -on mount (servernetbiosname). Add suspend support for power management, to -avoid cifsd thread preventing software suspend from working. -Add mount option for disabling the default behavior of sending byte range lock -requests to the server (necessary for certain applications which break with -mandatory lock behavior such as Evolution), and also mount option for -requesting case insensitive matching for path based requests (requesting -case sensitive is the default). - -Version 1.35 ------------- -Add writepage performance improvements. Fix path name conversions -for long filenames on mounts which were done with "mapchars" mount option -specified. Ensure multiplex ids do not collide. Fix case in which -rmmod can oops if done soon after last unmount. Fix truncated -search (readdir) output when resume filename was a long filename. -Fix filename conversion when mapchars mount option was specified and -filename was a long filename. - -Version 1.34 ------------- -Fix error mapping of the TOO_MANY_LINKS (hardlinks) case. -Do not oops if root user kills cifs oplock kernel thread or -kills the cifsd thread (NB: killing the cifs kernel threads is not -recommended, unmount and rmmod cifs will kill them when they are -no longer needed). Fix readdir to ASCII servers (ie older servers -which do not support Unicode) and also require asterisk. -Fix out of memory case in which data could be written one page -off in the page cache. - -Version 1.33 ------------- -Fix caching problem, in which readdir of directory containing a file -which was cached could cause the file's time stamp to be updated -without invalidating the readahead data (so we could get stale -file data on the client for that file even as the server copy changed). -Cleanup response processing so cifsd can not loop when abnormally -terminated. - - -Version 1.32 ------------- -Fix oops in ls when Transact2 FindFirst (or FindNext) returns more than one -transact response for an SMB request and search entry split across two frames. -Add support for lsattr (getting ext2/ext3/reiserfs attr flags from the server) -as new protocol extensions. Do not send Get/Set calls for POSIX ACLs -unless server explicitly claims to support them in CIFS Unix extensions -POSIX ACL capability bit. Fix packet signing when multiuser mounting with -different users from the same client to the same server. Fix oops in -cifs_close. Add mount option for remapping reserved characters in -filenames (also allow recognizing files with created by SFU which have any -of these seven reserved characters, except backslash, to be recognized). -Fix invalid transact2 message (we were sometimes trying to interpret -oplock breaks as SMB responses). Add ioctl for checking that the -current uid matches the uid of the mounter (needed by umount.cifs). -Reduce the number of large buffer allocations in cifs response processing -(significantly reduces memory pressure under heavy stress with multiple -processes accessing the same server at the same time). - -Version 1.31 ------------- -Fix updates of DOS attributes and time fields so that files on NT4 servers -do not get marked delete on close. Display sizes of cifs buffer pools in -cifs stats. Fix oops in unmount when cifsd thread being killed by -shutdown. Add generic readv/writev and aio support. Report inode numbers -consistently in readdir and lookup (when serverino mount option is -specified use the inode number that the server reports - for both lookup -and readdir, otherwise by default the locally generated inode number is used -for inodes created in either path since servers are not always able to -provide unique inode numbers when exporting multiple volumes from under one -sharename). - -Version 1.30 ------------- -Allow new nouser_xattr mount parm to disable xattr support for user namespace. -Do not flag user_xattr mount parm in dmesg. Retry failures setting file time -(mostly affects NT4 servers) by retry with handle based network operation. -Add new POSIX Query FS Info for returning statfs info more accurately. -Handle passwords with multiple commas in them. - -Version 1.29 ------------- -Fix default mode in sysfs of cifs module parms. Remove old readdir routine. -Fix capabilities flags for large readx so as to allow reads larger than 64K. - -Version 1.28 ------------- -Add module init parm for large SMB buffer size (to allow it to be changed -from its default of 16K) which is especially useful for large file copy -when mounting with the directio mount option. Fix oops after -returning from mount when experimental ExtendedSecurity enabled and -SpnegoNegotiated returning invalid error. Fix case to retry better when -peek returns from 1 to 3 bytes on socket which should have more data. -Fixed path based calls (such as cifs lookup) to handle path names -longer than 530 (now can handle PATH_MAX). Fix pass through authentication -from Samba server to DC (Samba required dummy LM password). - -Version 1.27 ------------- -Turn off DNOTIFY (directory change notification support) by default -(unless built with the experimental flag) to fix hang with KDE -file browser. Fix DNOTIFY flag mappings. Fix hang (in wait_event -waiting on an SMB response) in SendReceive when session dies but -reconnects quickly from another task. Add module init parms for -minimum number of large and small network buffers in the buffer pools, -and for the maximum number of simultaneous requests. - -Version 1.26 ------------- -Add setfacl support to allow setting of ACLs remotely to Samba 3.10 and later -and other POSIX CIFS compliant servers. Fix error mapping for getfacl -to EOPNOTSUPP when server does not support posix acls on the wire. Fix -improperly zeroed buffer in CIFS Unix extensions set times call. - -Version 1.25 ------------- -Fix internationalization problem in cifs readdir with filenames that map to -longer UTF-8 strings than the string on the wire was in Unicode. Add workaround -for readdir to netapp servers. Fix search rewind (seek into readdir to return -non-consecutive entries). Do not do readdir when server negotiates -buffer size to small to fit filename. Add support for reading POSIX ACLs from -the server (add also acl and noacl mount options). - -Version 1.24 ------------- -Optionally allow using server side inode numbers, rather than client generated -ones by specifying mount option "serverino" - this is required for some apps -to work which double check hardlinked files and have persistent inode numbers. - -Version 1.23 ------------- -Multiple bigendian fixes. On little endian systems (for reconnect after -network failure) fix tcp session reconnect code so we do not try first -to reconnect on reverse of port 445. Treat reparse points (NTFS junctions) -as directories rather than symlinks because we can do follow link on them. - -Version 1.22 ------------- -Add config option to enable XATTR (extended attribute) support, mapping -xattr names in the "user." namespace space to SMB/CIFS EAs. Lots of -minor fixes pointed out by the Stanford SWAT checker (mostly missing -or out of order NULL pointer checks in little used error paths). - -Version 1.21 ------------- -Add new mount parm to control whether mode check (generic_permission) is done -on the client. If Unix extensions are enabled and the uids on the client -and server do not match, client permission checks are meaningless on -server uids that do not exist on the client (this does not affect the -normal ACL check which occurs on the server). Fix default uid -on mknod to match create and mkdir. Add optional mount parm to allow -override of the default uid behavior (in which the server sets the uid -and gid of newly created files). Normally for network filesystem mounts -user want the server to set the uid/gid on newly created files (rather than -using uid of the client processes you would in a local filesystem). - -Version 1.20 ------------- -Make transaction counts more consistent. Merge /proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps -info into /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData. Fix oops in rare oops in readdir -(in build_wildcard_path_from_dentry). Fix mknod to pass type field -(block/char/fifo) properly. Remove spurious mount warning log entry when -credentials passed as mount argument. Set major/minor device number in -inode for block and char devices when unix extensions enabled. - -Version 1.19 ------------- -Fix /proc/fs/cifs/Stats and DebugData display to handle larger -amounts of return data. Properly limit requests to MAX_REQ (50 -is the usual maximum active multiplex SMB/CIFS requests per server). -Do not kill cifsd (and thus hurt the other SMB session) when more than one -session to the same server (but with different userids) exists and one -of the two user's smb sessions is being removed while leaving the other. -Do not loop reconnecting in cifsd demultiplex thread when admin -kills the thread without going through unmount. - -Version 1.18 ------------- -Do not rename hardlinked files (since that should be a noop). Flush -cached write behind data when reopening a file after session abend, -except when already in write. Grab per socket sem during reconnect -to avoid oops in sendmsg if overlapping with reconnect. Do not -reset cached inode file size on readdir for files open for write on -client. - - -Version 1.17 ------------- -Update number of blocks in file so du command is happier (in Linux a fake -blocksize of 512 is required for calculating number of blocks in inode). -Fix prepare write of partial pages to read in data from server if possible. -Fix race on tcpStatus field between unmount and reconnection code, causing -cifsd process sometimes to hang around forever. Improve out of memory -checks in cifs_filldir - -Version 1.16 ------------- -Fix incorrect file size in file handle based setattr on big endian hardware. -Fix oops in build_path_from_dentry when out of memory. Add checks for invalid -and closing file structs in writepage/partialpagewrite. Add statistics -for each mounted share (new menuconfig option). Fix endianness problem in -volume information displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData (only affects -affects big endian architectures). Prevent renames while constructing -path names for open, mkdir and rmdir. - -Version 1.15 ------------- -Change to mempools for alloc smb request buffers and multiplex structs -to better handle low memory problems (and potential deadlocks). - -Version 1.14 ------------- -Fix incomplete listings of large directories on Samba servers when Unix -extensions enabled. Fix oops when smb_buffer can not be allocated. Fix -rename deadlock when writing out dirty pages at same time. - -Version 1.13 ------------- -Fix open of files in which O_CREATE can cause the mode to change in -some cases. Fix case in which retry of write overlaps file close. -Fix PPC64 build error. Reduce excessive stack usage in smb password -hashing. Fix overwrite of Linux user's view of file mode to Windows servers. - -Version 1.12 ------------- -Fixes for large file copy, signal handling, socket retry, buffer -allocation and low memory situations. - -Version 1.11 ------------- -Better port 139 support to Windows servers (RFC1001/RFC1002 Session_Initialize) -also now allowing support for specifying client netbiosname. NT4 support added. - -Version 1.10 ------------- -Fix reconnection (and certain failed mounts) to properly wake up the -blocked users thread so it does not seem hung (in some cases was blocked -until the cifs receive timeout expired). Fix spurious error logging -to kernel log when application with open network files killed. - -Version 1.09 ------------- -Fix /proc/fs module unload warning message (that could be logged -to the kernel log). Fix intermittent failure in connectathon -test7 (hardlink count not immediately refreshed in case in which -inode metadata can be incorrectly kept cached when time near zero) - -Version 1.08 ------------- -Allow file_mode and dir_mode (specified at mount time) to be enforced -locally (the server already enforced its own ACLs too) for servers -that do not report the correct mode (do not support the -CIFS Unix Extensions). - -Version 1.07 ------------- -Fix some small memory leaks in some unmount error paths. Fix major leak -of cache pages in readpages causing multiple read oriented stress -testcases (including fsx, and even large file copy) to fail over time. - -Version 1.06 ------------- -Send NTCreateX with ATTR_POSIX if Linux/Unix extensions negotiated with server. -This allows files that differ only in case and improves performance of file -creation and file open to such servers. Fix semaphore conflict which causes -slow delete of open file to Samba (which unfortunately can cause an oplock -break to self while vfs_unlink held i_sem) which can hang for 20 seconds. - -Version 1.05 ------------- -fixes to cifs_readpages for fsx test case - -Version 1.04 ------------- -Fix caching data integrity bug when extending file size especially when no -oplock on file. Fix spurious logging of valid already parsed mount options -that are parsed outside of the cifs vfs such as nosuid. - - -Version 1.03 ------------- -Connect to server when port number override not specified, and tcp port -unitialized. Reset search to restart at correct file when kernel routine -filldir returns error during large directory searches (readdir). - -Version 1.02 ------------- -Fix caching problem when files opened by multiple clients in which -page cache could contain stale data, and write through did -not occur often enough while file was still open when read ahead -(read oplock) not allowed. Treat "sep=" when first mount option -as an override of comma as the default separator between mount -options. - -Version 1.01 ------------- -Allow passwords longer than 16 bytes. Allow null password string. - -Version 1.00 ------------- -Gracefully clean up failed mounts when attempting to mount to servers such as -Windows 98 that terminate tcp sessions during protocol negotiation. Handle -embedded commas in mount parsing of passwords. - -Version 0.99 ------------- -Invalidate local inode cached pages on oplock break and when last file -instance is closed so that the client does not continue using stale local -copy rather than later modified server copy of file. Do not reconnect -when server drops the tcp session prematurely before negotiate -protocol response. Fix oops in reopen_file when dentry freed. Allow -the support for CIFS Unix Extensions to be disabled via proc interface. - -Version 0.98 ------------- -Fix hang in commit_write during reconnection of open files under heavy load. -Fix unload_nls oops in a mount failure path.
