Version 1.62
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Add sockopt=TCP_NODELAY mount option. 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. Serialize writes to same socket
 | 
						|
which also fixes any possible races when cifs signatures are enabled in SMBs
 | 
						|
being sent out of signature sequence number order.    
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.97
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Fix byte range locking bug (endian problem) causing bad offset and
 | 
						|
length.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.96
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Fix oops (in send_sig) caused by CIFS unmount code trying to
 | 
						|
wake up the demultiplex thread after it had exited. Do not log
 | 
						|
error on harmless oplock release of closed handle.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.95
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Fix unsafe global variable usage and password hash failure on gcc 3.3.1
 | 
						|
Fix problem reconnecting secondary mounts to same server after session 
 | 
						|
failure.  Fix invalid dentry - race in mkdir when directory gets created
 | 
						|
by another client between the lookup and mkdir.
 | 
						|
 
 | 
						|
Version 0.94
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Fix to list processing in reopen_files. Fix reconnection when server hung
 | 
						|
but tcpip session still alive.  Set proper timeout on socket read.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.93
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Add missing mount options including iocharset.  SMP fixes in write and open. 
 | 
						|
Fix errors in reconnecting after TCP session failure.  Fix module unloading
 | 
						|
of default nls codepage
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.92
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Active smb transactions should never go negative (fix double FreeXid). Fix
 | 
						|
list processing in file routines. Check return code on kmalloc in open.
 | 
						|
Fix spinlock usage for SMP.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.91
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Fix oops in reopen_files when invalid dentry. drop dentry on server rename 
 | 
						|
and on revalidate errors. Fix cases where pid is now tgid.  Fix return code
 | 
						|
on create hard link when server does not support them. 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.90
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Fix scheduling while atomic error in getting inode info on newly created file. 
 | 
						|
Fix truncate of existing files opened with O_CREAT but not O_TRUNC set.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.89
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Fix oops on write to dead tcp session. Remove error log write for case when file open
 | 
						|
O_CREAT but not O_EXCL
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.88
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Fix non-POSIX behavior on rename of open file and delete of open file by taking 
 | 
						|
advantage of trans2 SetFileInfo rename facility if available on target server.
 | 
						|
Retry on ENOSPC and EAGAIN socket errors.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.87
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Fix oops on big endian readdir.  Set blksize to be even power of two (2**blkbits) to fix
 | 
						|
allocation size miscalculation. After oplock token lost do not read through
 | 
						|
cache. 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.86
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Fix oops on empty file readahead.  Fix for file size handling for locally cached files.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.85
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Fix oops in mkdir when server fails to return inode info. Fix oops in reopen_files
 | 
						|
during auto reconnection to server after server recovered from failure.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.84
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Finish support for Linux 2.5 open/create changes, which removes the
 | 
						|
redundant NTCreate/QPathInfo/close that was sent during file create.
 | 
						|
Enable oplock by default. Enable packet signing by default (needed to 
 | 
						|
access many recent Windows servers)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.83
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Fix oops when mounting to long server names caused by inverted parms to kmalloc.
 | 
						|
Fix MultiuserMount (/proc/fs/cifs configuration setting) so that when enabled
 | 
						|
we will choose a cifs user session (smb uid) that better matches the local
 | 
						|
uid if a) the mount uid does not match the current uid and b) we have another
 | 
						|
session to the same server (ip address) for a different mount which
 | 
						|
matches the current local uid.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.82
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Add support for mknod of block or character devices.  Fix oplock
 | 
						|
code (distributed caching) to properly send response to oplock
 | 
						|
break from server.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.81
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Finish up CIFS packet digital signing for the default
 | 
						|
NTLM security case. This should help Windows 2003
 | 
						|
network interoperability since it is common for
 | 
						|
packet signing to be required now. Fix statfs (stat -f)
 | 
						|
which recently started returning errors due to 
 | 
						|
invalid value (-1 instead of 0) being set in the
 | 
						|
struct kstatfs f_ffiles field.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.80
 | 
						|
-----------
 | 
						|
Fix oops on stopping oplock thread when removing cifs when
 | 
						|
built as module.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.79
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Fix mount options for ro (readonly), uid, gid and file and directory mode. 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.78
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Fix errors displayed on failed mounts to be more understandable.
 | 
						|
Fixed various incorrect or misleading smb to posix error code mappings.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.77
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Fix display of NTFS DFS junctions to display as symlinks.
 | 
						|
They are the network equivalent.  Fix oops in 
 | 
						|
cifs_partialpagewrite caused by missing spinlock protection
 | 
						|
of openfile linked list.  Allow writebehind caching errors to 
 | 
						|
be returned to the application at file close.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.76
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Clean up options displayed in /proc/mounts by show_options to
 | 
						|
be more consistent with other filesystems.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.75
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Fix delete of readonly file to Windows servers.  Reflect
 | 
						|
presence or absence of read only dos attribute in mode
 | 
						|
bits for servers that do not support CIFS Unix extensions.
 | 
						|
Fix shortened results on readdir of large directories to
 | 
						|
servers supporting CIFS Unix extensions (caused by
 | 
						|
incorrect resume key).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.74
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Fix truncate bug (set file size) that could cause hangs e.g. running fsx
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.73
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
unload nls if mount fails.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.72
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Add resume key support to search (readdir) code to workaround
 | 
						|
Windows bug.  Add /proc/fs/cifs/LookupCacheEnable which
 | 
						|
allows disabling caching of attribute information for
 | 
						|
lookups.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.71
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Add more oplock handling (distributed caching code).  Remove
 | 
						|
dead code.  Remove excessive stack space utilization from
 | 
						|
symlink routines.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.70
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Fix oops in get dfs referral (triggered when null path sent in to
 | 
						|
mount).  Add support for overriding rsize at mount time.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.69
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Fix buffer overrun in readdir which caused intermittent kernel oopses.
 | 
						|
Fix writepage code to release kmap on write data.  Allow "-ip=" new 
 | 
						|
mount option to be passed in on parameter distinct from the first part
 | 
						|
(server name portion of) the UNC name.  Allow override of the
 | 
						|
tcp port of the target server via new mount option "-port="  
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.68
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Fix search handle leak on rewind.  Fix setuid and gid so that they are 
 | 
						|
reflected in the local inode immediately.  Cleanup of whitespace
 | 
						|
to make 2.4 and 2.5 versions more consistent.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.67
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Fix signal sending so that captive thread (cifsd) exits on umount 
 | 
						|
(which was causing the warning in kmem_cache_free of the request buffers
 | 
						|
at rmmod time).  This had broken as a sideeffect of the recent global
 | 
						|
kernel change to daemonize.  Fix memory leak in readdir code which
 | 
						|
showed up in "ls -R" (and applications that did search rewinding).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.66
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Reconnect tids and fids after session reconnection (still do not
 | 
						|
reconnect byte range locks though).  Fix problem caching
 | 
						|
lookup information for directory inodes, improving performance,
 | 
						|
especially in deep directory trees.  Fix various build warnings.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.65
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Finish fixes to commit write for caching/readahead consistency.  fsx 
 | 
						|
now works to Samba servers.  Fix oops caused when readahead
 | 
						|
was interrupted by a signal.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.64
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Fix data corruption (in partial page after truncate) that caused fsx to
 | 
						|
fail to Windows servers.  Cleaned up some extraneous error logging in
 | 
						|
common error paths.  Add generic sendfile support.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.63
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Fix memory leak in AllocMidQEntry.
 | 
						|
Finish reconnection logic, so connection with server can be dropped
 | 
						|
(or server rebooted) and the cifs client will reconnect.  
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.62
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Fix temporary socket leak when bad userid or password specified 
 | 
						|
(or other SMBSessSetup failure).  Increase maximum buffer size to slightly
 | 
						|
over 16K to allow negotiation of up to Samba and Windows server default read 
 | 
						|
sizes.  Add support for readpages
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.61
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Fix oops when username not passed in on mount.  Extensive fixes and improvements
 | 
						|
to error logging (strip redundant newlines, change debug macros to ensure newline
 | 
						|
passed in and to be more consistent).  Fix writepage wrong file handle problem,
 | 
						|
a readonly file handle could be incorrectly used to attempt to write out
 | 
						|
file updates through the page cache to multiply open files.  This could cause
 | 
						|
the iozone benchmark to fail on the fwrite test. Fix bug mounting two different
 | 
						|
shares to the same Windows server when using different usernames
 | 
						|
(doing this to Samba servers worked but Windows was rejecting it) - now it is
 | 
						|
possible to use different userids when connecting to the same server from a
 | 
						|
Linux client. Fix oops when treeDisconnect called during unmount on
 | 
						|
previously freed socket.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.60
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|

						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.57
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Added writepage code for additional memory mapping support.  Fixed leak in xids causing
 | 
						|
the simultaneous operations counter (/proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps) to increase on 
 | 
						|
every stat call.  Additional formatting cleanup. 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.56
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
the smb session and tree connection and mid related global variables.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.54

						|
------------
 | 
						|
Fix problem with captive thread hanging around at unmount time.  Adjust to 2.5.42-pre
 | 
						|
changes to superblock layout.   Remove wasteful allocation of smb buffers (now the send 
 | 
						|
buffer is reused for responses).  Add more oplock handling. Additional minor cleanup.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.53
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
More stylistic updates to better match kernel style.  Add additional statistics
 | 
						|
for filesystem which can be viewed via /proc/fs/cifs.  Add more pieces of NTLMv2
 | 
						|
and CIFS Packet Signing enablement.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.52
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Replace call to sleep_on with safer wait_on_event.
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.51
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Update mount so the -unc mount option is no longer required (the ip address can be specified
 | 
						|
in a UNC style device name.   Implementation of readpage/writepage started.
 | 
						|
 |

 | 
						|
Version 0.43
 | 
						|

						|
SessionSetup and NegotiateProtocol now work from Big Endian machines.
 | 
						|
Various Big Endian fixes found during testing on the Linux on 390.  Various fixes for compatibility with older

						|
Version 0.40
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Implemented "Raw" (i.e. not encapsulated in SPNEGO) NTLMSSP (i.e. the Security Provider Interface used to negotiate
 | 
						|
session advanced session authentication).  Raw NTLMSSP is preferred by Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP.
 | 
						|
Began implementing support for SPNEGO encapsulation of NTLMSSP based session authentication blobs
 | 
						|
(which is the mechanism preferred by Windows 2000 server in the absence of Kerberos).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.38
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Introduced optional mount helper utility mount.cifs and made coreq changes to cifs vfs to enable
 | 
						|
it. Fixed a few bugs in the DFS code (e.g. bcc two bytes too short and incorrect uid in PDU).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.37
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Rewrote much of connection and mount/unmount logic to handle bugs with
 |

 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.36
 | 
						|
------------
 |

 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.35
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Rewrite of readdir code to fix bug. Various fixes for bigendian machines.
 | 
						|
Begin adding oplock support.  Multiusermount and oplockEnabled flags added to /proc/fs/cifs
 | 
						|
although corresponding function not fully implemented in the vfs yet
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.34
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Fixed dentry caching bug, misc. cleanup 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.33
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Fixed 2.5 support to handle build and configure changes as well as misc. 2.5 changes.  Now can build
 | 
						|
on current 2.5 beta version (2.5.24) of the Linux kernel as well as on 2.4 Linux kernels.
 | 
						|
Support for STATUS codes (newer 32 bit NT error codes) added.  DFS support begun to be added.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.32
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Unix extensions (symlink, readlink, hardlink, chmod and some chgrp and chown) implemented
 | 
						|
and tested against Samba 2.2.5
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Version 0.31
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
1) Fixed lockrange to be correct (it was one byte too short)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
2) Fixed GETLK (i.e. the fcntl call to test a range of bytes in a file to see if locked) to correctly 
 | 
						|
show range as locked when there is a conflict with an existing lock.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
3) default file perms are now 2767 (indicating support for mandatory locks) instead of 777 for directories
 | 
						|
in most cases.  Eventually will offer optional ability to query server for the correct perms.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
3) Fixed eventual trap when mounting twice to different shares on the same server when the first succeeded 
 | 
						|
but the second one was invalid and failed (the second one was incorrectly disconnecting the tcp and smb
 | 
						|
session) 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
4) Fixed error logging of valid mount options
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
5) Removed logging of password field.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
6) Moved negotiate, treeDisconnect and uloggoffX (only tConx and SessSetup remain in connect.c) to cifssmb.c
 | 
						|
and cleaned them up and made them more consistent with other cifs functions. 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
7) Server support for Unix extensions is now fully detected and FindFirst is implemented both ways 
 | 
						|
(with or without Unix extensions) but FindNext and QueryPathInfo with the Unix extensions are not completed,
 | 
						|
nor is the symlink support using the Unix extensions
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
8) Started adding the readlink and follow_link code 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
