Steve Frenchc46fa8a2005-08-18 20:49:57 -07001Version 1.36
2------------
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -07003Add support for mounting to older pre-CIFS servers such as Windows9x and ME.
Steve French6b8edfe2005-08-23 20:26:03 -07004For these older servers, add option for passing netbios name of server in
Steve French16abbec2005-08-30 13:10:14 -07005on mount (servernetbiosname). Add suspend support for power management, to
6avoid cifsd thread preventing software suspend from working.
Steve Frenchc46fa8a2005-08-18 20:49:57 -07007Add mount option for disabling the default behavior of sending byte range lock
8requests to the server (necessary for certain applications which break with
9mandatory lock behavior such as Evolution), and also mount option for
10requesting case insensitive matching for path based requests (requesting
11case sensitive is the default).
12
Steve Frenchf4cfd692005-07-14 18:29:02 -050013Version 1.35
14------------
15Add writepage performance improvements. Fix path name conversions
16for long filenames on mounts which were done with "mapchars" mount option
Steve Frencha10faeb22005-08-22 21:38:31 -070017specified. Ensure multiplex ids do not collide. Fix case in which
18rmmod can oops if done soon after last unmount. Fix truncated
19search (readdir) output when resume filename was a long filename.
20Fix filename conversion when mapchars mount option was specified and
21filename was a long filename.
Steve Frenchf4cfd692005-07-14 18:29:02 -050022
Steve French11aa0142005-04-28 22:41:10 -070023Version 1.34
24------------
25Fix error mapping of the TOO_MANY_LINKS (hardlinks) case.
Steve French31ca3bc2005-04-28 22:41:11 -070026Do not oops if root user kills cifs oplock kernel thread or
27kills the cifsd thread (NB: killing the cifs kernel threads is not
28recommended, unmount and rmmod cifs will kill them when they are
Steve French68575472005-04-30 11:10:57 -070029no longer needed). Fix readdir to ASCII servers (ie older servers
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -070030which do not support Unicode) and also require asterisk.
Steve French3079ca62005-06-09 14:44:07 -070031Fix out of memory case in which data could be written one page
32off in the page cache.
Steve French11aa0142005-04-28 22:41:10 -070033
Steve French966ca922005-04-28 22:41:08 -070034Version 1.33
35------------
36Fix caching problem, in which readdir of directory containing a file
37which was cached could cause the file's time stamp to be updated
38without invalidating the readahead data (so we could get stale
39file data on the client for that file even as the server copy changed).
Steve Frenchcd634992005-04-28 22:41:10 -070040Cleanup response processing so cifsd can not loop when abnormally
41terminated.
Steve French966ca922005-04-28 22:41:08 -070042
43
Steve Frenchf654bac2005-04-28 22:41:04 -070044Version 1.32
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070045------------
46Fix oops in ls when Transact2 FindFirst (or FindNext) returns more than one
47transact response for an SMB request and search entry split across two frames.
Steve Frenchf654bac2005-04-28 22:41:04 -070048Add support for lsattr (getting ext2/ext3/reiserfs attr flags from the server)
49as new protocol extensions. Do not send Get/Set calls for POSIX ACLs
50unless server explicitly claims to support them in CIFS Unix extensions
Steve Frenchad009ac2005-04-28 22:41:05 -070051POSIX ACL capability bit. Fix packet signing when multiuser mounting with
Steve Frenchcbe04762005-04-28 22:41:05 -070052different users from the same client to the same server. Fix oops in
Steve French6a0b4822005-04-28 22:41:05 -070053cifs_close. Add mount option for remapping reserved characters in
54filenames (also allow recognizing files with created by SFU which have any
Steve French737b7582005-04-28 22:41:06 -070055of these seven reserved characters, except backslash, to be recognized).
Steve French848f3fc2005-04-28 22:41:07 -070056Fix invalid transact2 message (we were sometimes trying to interpret
Steve French099a58f2005-04-28 22:41:07 -070057oplock breaks as SMB responses). Add ioctl for checking that the
58current uid matches the uid of the mounter (needed by umount.cifs).
59Reduce the number of large buffer allocations in cifs response processing
60(significantly reduces memory pressure under heavy stress with multiple
61processes accessing the same server at the same time).
Steve Frenchf654bac2005-04-28 22:41:04 -070062
63Version 1.31
64------------
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070065Fix updates of DOS attributes and time fields so that files on NT4 servers
66do not get marked delete on close. Display sizes of cifs buffer pools in
67cifs stats. Fix oops in unmount when cifsd thread being killed by
68shutdown. Add generic readv/writev and aio support. Report inode numbers
69consistently in readdir and lookup (when serverino mount option is
70specified use the inode number that the server reports - for both lookup
71and readdir, otherwise by default the locally generated inode number is used
72for inodes created in either path since servers are not always able to
73provide unique inode numbers when exporting multiple volumes from under one
74sharename).
75
76Version 1.30
77------------
78Allow new nouser_xattr mount parm to disable xattr support for user namespace.
79Do not flag user_xattr mount parm in dmesg. Retry failures setting file time
80(mostly affects NT4 servers) by retry with handle based network operation.
81Add new POSIX Query FS Info for returning statfs info more accurately.
82Handle passwords with multiple commas in them.
83
84Version 1.29
85------------
86Fix default mode in sysfs of cifs module parms. Remove old readdir routine.
87Fix capabilities flags for large readx so as to allow reads larger than 64K.
88
89Version 1.28
90------------
91Add module init parm for large SMB buffer size (to allow it to be changed
92from its default of 16K) which is especially useful for large file copy
93when mounting with the directio mount option. Fix oops after
94returning from mount when experimental ExtendedSecurity enabled and
95SpnegoNegotiated returning invalid error. Fix case to retry better when
96peek returns from 1 to 3 bytes on socket which should have more data.
97Fixed path based calls (such as cifs lookup) to handle path names
98longer than 530 (now can handle PATH_MAX). Fix pass through authentication
99from Samba server to DC (Samba required dummy LM password).
100
101Version 1.27
102------------
103Turn off DNOTIFY (directory change notification support) by default
104(unless built with the experimental flag) to fix hang with KDE
105file browser. Fix DNOTIFY flag mappings. Fix hang (in wait_event
106waiting on an SMB response) in SendReceive when session dies but
107reconnects quickly from another task. Add module init parms for
108minimum number of large and small network buffers in the buffer pools,
109and for the maximum number of simultaneous requests.
110
111Version 1.26
112------------
113Add setfacl support to allow setting of ACLs remotely to Samba 3.10 and later
114and other POSIX CIFS compliant servers. Fix error mapping for getfacl
115to EOPNOTSUPP when server does not support posix acls on the wire. Fix
116improperly zeroed buffer in CIFS Unix extensions set times call.
117
118Version 1.25
119------------
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -0700120Fix internationalization problem in cifs readdir with filenames that map to
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700121longer UTF8 strings than the string on the wire was in Unicode. Add workaround
122for readdir to netapp servers. Fix search rewind (seek into readdir to return
123non-consecutive entries). Do not do readdir when server negotiates
124buffer size to small to fit filename. Add support for reading POSIX ACLs from
125the server (add also acl and noacl mount options).
126
127Version 1.24
128------------
129Optionally allow using server side inode numbers, rather than client generated
130ones by specifying mount option "serverino" - this is required for some apps
131to work which double check hardlinked files and have persistent inode numbers.
132
133Version 1.23
134------------
135Multiple bigendian fixes. On little endian systems (for reconnect after
136network failure) fix tcp session reconnect code so we do not try first
137to reconnect on reverse of port 445. Treat reparse points (NTFS junctions)
138as directories rather than symlinks because we can do follow link on them.
139
140Version 1.22
141------------
142Add config option to enable XATTR (extended attribute) support, mapping
143xattr names in the "user." namespace space to SMB/CIFS EAs. Lots of
144minor fixes pointed out by the Stanford SWAT checker (mostly missing
145or out of order NULL pointer checks in little used error paths).
146
147Version 1.21
148------------
149Add new mount parm to control whether mode check (generic_permission) is done
150on the client. If Unix extensions are enabled and the uids on the client
151and server do not match, client permission checks are meaningless on
152server uids that do not exist on the client (this does not affect the
153normal ACL check which occurs on the server). Fix default uid
154on mknod to match create and mkdir. Add optional mount parm to allow
155override of the default uid behavior (in which the server sets the uid
156and gid of newly created files). Normally for network filesystem mounts
157user want the server to set the uid/gid on newly created files (rather than
158using uid of the client processes you would in a local filesystem).
159
160Version 1.20
161------------
162Make transaction counts more consistent. Merge /proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps
163info into /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData. Fix oops in rare oops in readdir
164(in build_wildcard_path_from_dentry). Fix mknod to pass type field
165(block/char/fifo) properly. Remove spurious mount warning log entry when
166credentials passed as mount argument. Set major/minor device number in
167inode for block and char devices when unix extensions enabled.
168
169Version 1.19
170------------
171Fix /proc/fs/cifs/Stats and DebugData display to handle larger
172amounts of return data. Properly limit requests to MAX_REQ (50
173is the usual maximum active multiplex SMB/CIFS requests per server).
174Do not kill cifsd (and thus hurt the other SMB session) when more than one
175session to the same server (but with different userids) exists and one
176of the two user's smb sessions is being removed while leaving the other.
177Do not loop reconnecting in cifsd demultiplex thread when admin
178kills the thread without going through unmount.
179
180Version 1.18
181------------
182Do not rename hardlinked files (since that should be a noop). Flush
183cached write behind data when reopening a file after session abend,
184except when already in write. Grab per socket sem during reconnect
185to avoid oops in sendmsg if overlapping with reconnect. Do not
186reset cached inode file size on readdir for files open for write on
187client.
188
189
190Version 1.17
191------------
192Update number of blocks in file so du command is happier (in Linux a fake
193blocksize of 512 is required for calculating number of blocks in inode).
194Fix prepare write of partial pages to read in data from server if possible.
195Fix race on tcpStatus field between unmount and reconnection code, causing
196cifsd process sometimes to hang around forever. Improve out of memory
197checks in cifs_filldir
198
199Version 1.16
200------------
201Fix incorrect file size in file handle based setattr on big endian hardware.
202Fix oops in build_path_from_dentry when out of memory. Add checks for invalid
203and closing file structs in writepage/partialpagewrite. Add statistics
204for each mounted share (new menuconfig option). Fix endianness problem in
205volume information displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData (only affects
206affects big endian architectures). Prevent renames while constructing
207path names for open, mkdir and rmdir.
208
209Version 1.15
210------------
211Change to mempools for alloc smb request buffers and multiplex structs
212to better handle low memory problems (and potential deadlocks).
213
214Version 1.14
215------------
216Fix incomplete listings of large directories on Samba servers when Unix
217extensions enabled. Fix oops when smb_buffer can not be allocated. Fix
218rename deadlock when writing out dirty pages at same time.
219
220Version 1.13
221------------
222Fix open of files in which O_CREATE can cause the mode to change in
223some cases. Fix case in which retry of write overlaps file close.
224Fix PPC64 build error. Reduce excessive stack usage in smb password
225hashing. Fix overwrite of Linux user's view of file mode to Windows servers.
226
227Version 1.12
228------------
229Fixes for large file copy, signal handling, socket retry, buffer
230allocation and low memory situations.
231
232Version 1.11
233------------
234Better port 139 support to Windows servers (RFC1001/RFC1002 Session_Initialize)
235also now allowing support for specifying client netbiosname. NT4 support added.
236
237Version 1.10
238------------
239Fix reconnection (and certain failed mounts) to properly wake up the
240blocked users thread so it does not seem hung (in some cases was blocked
241until the cifs receive timeout expired). Fix spurious error logging
242to kernel log when application with open network files killed.
243
244Version 1.09
245------------
246Fix /proc/fs module unload warning message (that could be logged
247to the kernel log). Fix intermittent failure in connectathon
248test7 (hardlink count not immediately refreshed in case in which
249inode metadata can be incorrectly kept cached when time near zero)
250
251Version 1.08
252------------
253Allow file_mode and dir_mode (specified at mount time) to be enforced
254locally (the server already enforced its own ACLs too) for servers
255that do not report the correct mode (do not support the
256CIFS Unix Extensions).
257
258Version 1.07
259------------
260Fix some small memory leaks in some unmount error paths. Fix major leak
261of cache pages in readpages causing multiple read oriented stress
262testcases (including fsx, and even large file copy) to fail over time.
263
264Version 1.06
265------------
266Send NTCreateX with ATTR_POSIX if Linux/Unix extensions negotiated with server.
267This allows files that differ only in case and improves performance of file
268creation and file open to such servers. Fix semaphore conflict which causes
269slow delete of open file to Samba (which unfortunately can cause an oplock
270break to self while vfs_unlink held i_sem) which can hang for 20 seconds.
271
272Version 1.05
273------------
274fixes to cifs_readpages for fsx test case
275
276Version 1.04
277------------
278Fix caching data integrity bug when extending file size especially when no
279oplock on file. Fix spurious logging of valid already parsed mount options
280that are parsed outside of the cifs vfs such as nosuid.
281
282
283Version 1.03
284------------
285Connect to server when port number override not specified, and tcp port
286unitialized. Reset search to restart at correct file when kernel routine
287filldir returns error during large directory searches (readdir).
288
289Version 1.02
290------------
291Fix caching problem when files opened by multiple clients in which
292page cache could contain stale data, and write through did
293not occur often enough while file was still open when read ahead
294(read oplock) not allowed. Treat "sep=" when first mount option
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -0700295as an override of comma as the default separator between mount
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700296options.
297
298Version 1.01
299------------
300Allow passwords longer than 16 bytes. Allow null password string.
301
302Version 1.00
303------------
304Gracefully clean up failed mounts when attempting to mount to servers such as
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -0700305Windows 98 that terminate tcp sessions during protocol negotiation. Handle
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700306embedded commas in mount parsing of passwords.
307
308Version 0.99
309------------
310Invalidate local inode cached pages on oplock break and when last file
311instance is closed so that the client does not continue using stale local
312copy rather than later modified server copy of file. Do not reconnect
313when server drops the tcp session prematurely before negotiate
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -0700314protocol response. Fix oops in reopen_file when dentry freed. Allow
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700315the support for CIFS Unix Extensions to be disabled via proc interface.
316
317Version 0.98
318------------
319Fix hang in commit_write during reconnection of open files under heavy load.
320Fix unload_nls oops in a mount failure path. Serialize writes to same socket
321which also fixes any possible races when cifs signatures are enabled in SMBs
322being sent out of signature sequence number order.

325------------
326Fix byte range locking bug (endian problem) causing bad offset and
327length.
328
329Version 0.96
330------------
331Fix oops (in send_sig) caused by CIFS unmount code trying to

402
403Version 0.83
404------------
405Fix oops when mounting to long server names caused by inverted parms to kmalloc.
406Fix MultiuserMount (/proc/fs/cifs configuration setting) so that when enabled
407we will choose a cifs user session (smb uid) that better matches the local
408uid if a) the mount uid does not match the current uid and b) we have another
409session to the same server (ip address) for a different mount which

415code (distributed caching) to properly send response to oplock
416break from server.
417
418Version 0.81
419------------
420Finish up CIFS packet digital signing for the default
421NTLM security case. This should help Windows 2003
422network interoperability since it is common for
423packet signing to be required now. Fix statfs (stat -f)
424which recently started returning errors due to
425invalid value (-1 instead of 0) being set in the
426struct kstatfs f_ffiles field.
427
428Version 0.80
429-----------
430Fix oops on stopping oplock thread when removing cifs when
431built as module.
432
433Version 0.79
434------------
435Fix mount options for ro (readonly), uid, gid and file and directory mode.
436
437Version 0.78
438------------
439Fix errors displayed on failed mounts to be more understandable.
440Fixed various incorrect or misleading smb to posix error code mappings.
441
442Version 0.77
443------------
444Fix display of NTFS DFS junctions to display as symlinks.
445They are the network equivalent. Fix oops in
446cifs_partialpagewrite caused by missing spinlock protection
447of openfile linked list. Allow writebehind caching errors to
448be returned to the application at file close.
449
450Version 0.76
451------------
452Clean up options displayed in /proc/mounts by show_options to
453be more consistent with other filesystems.
454
455Version 0.75
456------------

459bits for servers that do not support CIFS Unix extensions.
460Fix shortened results on readdir of large directories to
461servers supporting CIFS Unix extensions (caused by
462incorrect resume key).
463
464Version 0.74
465------------
466Fix truncate bug (set file size) that could cause hangs e.g. running fsx
467
468Version 0.73
469------------
470unload nls if mount fails.
471
472Version 0.72
473------------
474Add resume key support to search (readdir) code to workaround
475Windows bug. Add /proc/fs/cifs/LookupCacheEnable which
476allows disabling caching of attribute information for
477lookups.
478
479Version 0.71
480------------
481Add more oplock handling (distributed caching code). Remove
482dead code. Remove excessive stack space utilization from
483symlink routines.
484
485Version 0.70
486------------
487Fix oops in get dfs referral (triggered when null path sent in to
488mount). Add support for overriding rsize at mount time.
489
490Version 0.69
491------------
492Fix buffer overrun in readdir which caused intermittent kernel oopses.
493Fix writepage code to release kmap on write data. Allow "-ip=" new
494mount option to be passed in on parameter distinct from the first part
495(server name portion of) the UNC name. Allow override of the
496tcp port of the target server via new mount option "-port="
497
498Version 0.68
499------------
500Fix search handle leak on rewind. Fix setuid and gid so that they are
501reflected in the local inode immediately. Cleanup of whitespace
502to make 2.4 and 2.5 versions more consistent.
503
504
505Version 0.67
506------------
507Fix signal sending so that captive thread (cifsd) exits on umount
508(which was causing the warning in kmem_cache_free of the request buffers
509at rmmod time). This had broken as a sideeffect of the recent global
510kernel change to daemonize. Fix memory leak in readdir code which
511showed up in "ls -R" (and applications that did search rewinding).
512
513Version 0.66
514------------
515Reconnect tids and fids after session reconnection (still do not
516reconnect byte range locks though). Fix problem caching
517lookup information for directory inodes, improving performance,
518especially in deep directory trees. Fix various build warnings.
519
520Version 0.65
521------------
522Finish fixes to commit write for caching/readahead consistency. fsx
523now works to Samba servers. Fix oops caused when readahead
524was interrupted by a signal.
525
526Version 0.64
527------------
528Fix data corruption (in partial page after truncate) that caused fsx to
529fail to Windows servers. Cleaned up some extraneous error logging in
530common error paths. Add generic sendfile support.
531
532Version 0.63
533------------
534Fix memory leak in AllocMidQEntry.
535Finish reconnection logic, so connection with server can be dropped
536(or server rebooted) and the cifs client will reconnect.
537
538Version 0.62
539------------
540Fix temporary socket leak when bad userid or password specified
541(or other SMBSessSetup failure). Increase maximum buffer size to slightly
542over 16K to allow negotiation of up to Samba and Windows server default read
543sizes. Add support for readpages
544
545Version 0.61
546------------
547Fix oops when username not passed in on mount. Extensive fixes and improvements
548to error logging (strip redundant newlines, change debug macros to ensure newline
549passed in and to be more consistent). Fix writepage wrong file handle problem,
550a readonly file handle could be incorrectly used to attempt to write out
551file updates through the page cache to multiply open files. This could cause
552the iozone benchmark to fail on the fwrite test. Fix bug mounting two different
553shares to the same Windows server when using different usernames
554(doing this to Samba servers worked but Windows was rejecting it) - now it is
555possible to use different userids when connecting to the same server from a
556Linux client. Fix oops when treeDisconnect called during unmount on
557previously freed socket.
558
559Version 0.60

567requirement). Add readlink support for Windows junction points (directory symlinks).
568
569Version 0.58
570------------
571Changed read and write to go through pagecache. Added additional address space operations.
572Memory mapped operations now working.
573
574Version 0.57
575------------
576Added writepage code for additional memory mapping support. Fixed leak in xids causing
577the simultaneous operations counter (/proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps) to increase on
578every stat call. Additional formatting cleanup.
579
580Version 0.56
581------------
582Fix bigendian bug in order of time conversion. Merge 2.5 to 2.4 version. Formatting cleanup.
583

589
590Version 0.54
591------------
592Fix problem with captive thread hanging around at unmount time. Adjust to 2.5.42-pre
593changes to superblock layout. Remove wasteful allocation of smb buffers (now the send
594buffer is reused for responses). Add more oplock handling. Additional minor cleanup.
595
596Version 0.53

652
653Version 0.41
654------------
655Various minor fixes for Connectathon Posix "basic" file i/o test suite. Directory caching fixed so hardlinked
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -0700656files now return the correct number of links on fstat as they are repeatedly linked and unlinked.

683although corresponding function not fully implemented in the vfs yet
684
685Version 0.34
686------------
687Fixed dentry caching bug, misc. cleanup
688
689Version 0.33
690------------
691Fixed 2.5 support to handle build and configure changes as well as misc. 2.5 changes. Now can build
692on current 2.5 beta version (2.5.24) of the Linux kernel as well as on 2.4 Linux kernels.

700
701Version 0.31
702------------
7031) Fixed lockrange to be correct (it was one byte too short)
704
7052) Fixed GETLK (i.e. the fcntl call to test a range of bytes in a file to see if locked) to correctly
706show range as locked when there is a conflict with an existing lock.
707
7083) default file perms are now 2767 (indicating support for mandatory locks) instead of 777 for directories
709in most cases. Eventually will offer optional ability to query server for the correct perms.
710
7113) Fixed eventual trap when mounting twice to different shares on the same server when the first succeeded
712but the second one was invalid and failed (the second one was incorrectly disconnecting the tcp and smb
713session)
714
7154) Fixed error logging of valid mount options
716
7175) Removed logging of password field.
718
7196) Moved negotiate, treeDisconnect and uloggoffX (only tConx and SessSetup remain in connect.c) to cifssmb.c
720and cleaned them up and made them more consistent with other cifs functions.
721
7227) Server support for Unix extensions is now fully detected and FindFirst is implemented both ways
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -0700723(with or without Unix extensions) but FindNext and QueryPathInfo with the Unix extensions are not completed,
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700724nor is the symlink support using the Unix extensions
