Steve French190fdeb2005-10-10 11:48:26 -07001Version 1.38
2------------
3Fix tcp socket retransmission timeouts (e.g. on ENOSPACE from the socket)
4to be smaller at first (but increasing) so large write performance performance
5over GigE is better. Do not hang thread on illegal byte range lock response
6from Windows (Windows can send an RFC1001 size which does not match smb size) by
7allowing an SMBs TCP length to be up to a few bytes longer than it should be.
8wsize and rsize can now be larger than negotiated buffer size if server
9supports large readx/writex, even when directio mount flag not specified.
10Write size will in many cases now be 16K instead of 4K which greatly helps
Steve French4ca9c192005-10-10 19:52:13 -070011file copy performance on lightly loaded networks. Fix oops in dnotify
12when experimental config flag enabled.

Steve Frencheafe8702005-09-15 21:47:30 -070014Version 1.37
15------------
16Fix readdir caching when unlink removes file in current search buffer,
17and this is followed by a rewind search to just before the deleted entry.
Steve Frenche30dcf32005-09-20 20:49:16 -070018Do not attempt to set ctime unless atime and/or mtime change requested
Steve French20962432005-09-21 22:05:57 -070019(most servers throw it away anyway). Fix length check of received smbs
Steve French70ca7342005-09-22 16:32:06 -070020to be more accurate. Fix big endian problem with mapchars mount option,
21and with a field returned by statfs.
Steve Frencheafe8702005-09-15 21:47:30 -070022
Steve Frenchc46fa8a2005-08-18 20:49:57 -070023Version 1.36
24------------
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -070025Add support for mounting to older pre-CIFS servers such as Windows9x and ME.
Steve French6b8edfe2005-08-23 20:26:03 -070026For these older servers, add option for passing netbios name of server in
Steve French16abbec2005-08-30 13:10:14 -070027on mount (servernetbiosname). Add suspend support for power management, to
28avoid cifsd thread preventing software suspend from working.
Steve Frenchc46fa8a2005-08-18 20:49:57 -070029Add mount option for disabling the default behavior of sending byte range lock
30requests to the server (necessary for certain applications which break with
31mandatory lock behavior such as Evolution), and also mount option for
32requesting case insensitive matching for path based requests (requesting
33case sensitive is the default).
34
Steve Frenchf4cfd692005-07-14 18:29:02 -050035Version 1.35
36------------
37Add writepage performance improvements. Fix path name conversions
38for long filenames on mounts which were done with "mapchars" mount option
Steve Frencha10faeb22005-08-22 21:38:31 -070039specified. Ensure multiplex ids do not collide. Fix case in which
40rmmod can oops if done soon after last unmount. Fix truncated
41search (readdir) output when resume filename was a long filename.
42Fix filename conversion when mapchars mount option was specified and
43filename was a long filename.
Steve Frenchf4cfd692005-07-14 18:29:02 -050044
Steve French11aa0142005-04-28 22:41:10 -070045Version 1.34
46------------
47Fix error mapping of the TOO_MANY_LINKS (hardlinks) case.
Steve French31ca3bc2005-04-28 22:41:11 -070048Do not oops if root user kills cifs oplock kernel thread or
49kills the cifsd thread (NB: killing the cifs kernel threads is not
50recommended, unmount and rmmod cifs will kill them when they are
Steve French68575472005-04-30 11:10:57 -070051no longer needed). Fix readdir to ASCII servers (ie older servers
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -070052which do not support Unicode) and also require asterisk.
Steve French3079ca62005-06-09 14:44:07 -070053Fix out of memory case in which data could be written one page
54off in the page cache.
Steve French11aa0142005-04-28 22:41:10 -070055
Steve French966ca922005-04-28 22:41:08 -070056Version 1.33
57------------
58Fix caching problem, in which readdir of directory containing a file
59which was cached could cause the file's time stamp to be updated
60without invalidating the readahead data (so we could get stale
61file data on the client for that file even as the server copy changed).
Steve Frenchcd634992005-04-28 22:41:10 -070062Cleanup response processing so cifsd can not loop when abnormally
63terminated.
Steve French966ca922005-04-28 22:41:08 -070064
65
Steve Frenchf654bac2005-04-28 22:41:04 -070066Version 1.32
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070067------------
68Fix oops in ls when Transact2 FindFirst (or FindNext) returns more than one
69transact response for an SMB request and search entry split across two frames.
Steve Frenchf654bac2005-04-28 22:41:04 -070070Add support for lsattr (getting ext2/ext3/reiserfs attr flags from the server)
71as new protocol extensions. Do not send Get/Set calls for POSIX ACLs
72unless server explicitly claims to support them in CIFS Unix extensions
Steve Frenchad009ac2005-04-28 22:41:05 -070073POSIX ACL capability bit. Fix packet signing when multiuser mounting with
Steve Frenchcbe04762005-04-28 22:41:05 -070074different users from the same client to the same server. Fix oops in
Steve French6a0b4822005-04-28 22:41:05 -070075cifs_close. Add mount option for remapping reserved characters in
76filenames (also allow recognizing files with created by SFU which have any
Steve French737b7582005-04-28 22:41:06 -070077of these seven reserved characters, except backslash, to be recognized).
Steve French848f3fc2005-04-28 22:41:07 -070078Fix invalid transact2 message (we were sometimes trying to interpret
Steve French099a58f2005-04-28 22:41:07 -070079oplock breaks as SMB responses). Add ioctl for checking that the
80current uid matches the uid of the mounter (needed by umount.cifs).
81Reduce the number of large buffer allocations in cifs response processing
82(significantly reduces memory pressure under heavy stress with multiple
83processes accessing the same server at the same time).
Steve Frenchf654bac2005-04-28 22:41:04 -070084
85Version 1.31
86------------
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070087Fix updates of DOS attributes and time fields so that files on NT4 servers
88do not get marked delete on close. Display sizes of cifs buffer pools in
89cifs stats. Fix oops in unmount when cifsd thread being killed by
90shutdown. Add generic readv/writev and aio support. Report inode numbers
91consistently in readdir and lookup (when serverino mount option is
92specified use the inode number that the server reports - for both lookup
93and readdir, otherwise by default the locally generated inode number is used
94for inodes created in either path since servers are not always able to
95provide unique inode numbers when exporting multiple volumes from under one
96sharename).
97
98Version 1.30
99------------
100Allow new nouser_xattr mount parm to disable xattr support for user namespace.
101Do not flag user_xattr mount parm in dmesg. Retry failures setting file time
102(mostly affects NT4 servers) by retry with handle based network operation.
103Add new POSIX Query FS Info for returning statfs info more accurately.
104Handle passwords with multiple commas in them.
105
106Version 1.29
107------------
108Fix default mode in sysfs of cifs module parms. Remove old readdir routine.
109Fix capabilities flags for large readx so as to allow reads larger than 64K.
110
111Version 1.28
112------------
113Add module init parm for large SMB buffer size (to allow it to be changed
114from its default of 16K) which is especially useful for large file copy
115when mounting with the directio mount option. Fix oops after
116returning from mount when experimental ExtendedSecurity enabled and
117SpnegoNegotiated returning invalid error. Fix case to retry better when
118peek returns from 1 to 3 bytes on socket which should have more data.
119Fixed path based calls (such as cifs lookup) to handle path names
120longer than 530 (now can handle PATH_MAX). Fix pass through authentication
121from Samba server to DC (Samba required dummy LM password).
122
123Version 1.27
124------------
125Turn off DNOTIFY (directory change notification support) by default
126(unless built with the experimental flag) to fix hang with KDE
127file browser. Fix DNOTIFY flag mappings. Fix hang (in wait_event
128waiting on an SMB response) in SendReceive when session dies but
129reconnects quickly from another task. Add module init parms for
130minimum number of large and small network buffers in the buffer pools,
131and for the maximum number of simultaneous requests.
132
133Version 1.26
134------------
135Add setfacl support to allow setting of ACLs remotely to Samba 3.10 and later
136and other POSIX CIFS compliant servers. Fix error mapping for getfacl
137to EOPNOTSUPP when server does not support posix acls on the wire. Fix
138improperly zeroed buffer in CIFS Unix extensions set times call.
139
140Version 1.25
141------------
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -0700142Fix internationalization problem in cifs readdir with filenames that map to
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700143longer UTF8 strings than the string on the wire was in Unicode. Add workaround
144for readdir to netapp servers. Fix search rewind (seek into readdir to return
145non-consecutive entries). Do not do readdir when server negotiates
146buffer size to small to fit filename. Add support for reading POSIX ACLs from
147the server (add also acl and noacl mount options).
148
149Version 1.24
150------------
151Optionally allow using server side inode numbers, rather than client generated
152ones by specifying mount option "serverino" - this is required for some apps
153to work which double check hardlinked files and have persistent inode numbers.
154
155Version 1.23
156------------
157Multiple bigendian fixes. On little endian systems (for reconnect after
158network failure) fix tcp session reconnect code so we do not try first
159to reconnect on reverse of port 445. Treat reparse points (NTFS junctions)
160as directories rather than symlinks because we can do follow link on them.
161
162Version 1.22
163------------
164Add config option to enable XATTR (extended attribute) support, mapping
165xattr names in the "user." namespace space to SMB/CIFS EAs. Lots of
166minor fixes pointed out by the Stanford SWAT checker (mostly missing
167or out of order NULL pointer checks in little used error paths).
168
169Version 1.21
170------------
171Add new mount parm to control whether mode check (generic_permission) is done
172on the client. If Unix extensions are enabled and the uids on the client
173and server do not match, client permission checks are meaningless on
174server uids that do not exist on the client (this does not affect the
175normal ACL check which occurs on the server). Fix default uid
176on mknod to match create and mkdir. Add optional mount parm to allow
177override of the default uid behavior (in which the server sets the uid
178and gid of newly created files). Normally for network filesystem mounts
179user want the server to set the uid/gid on newly created files (rather than
180using uid of the client processes you would in a local filesystem).
181
182Version 1.20
183------------
184Make transaction counts more consistent. Merge /proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps
185info into /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData. Fix oops in rare oops in readdir
186(in build_wildcard_path_from_dentry). Fix mknod to pass type field
187(block/char/fifo) properly. Remove spurious mount warning log entry when
188credentials passed as mount argument. Set major/minor device number in
189inode for block and char devices when unix extensions enabled.
190
191Version 1.19
192------------
193Fix /proc/fs/cifs/Stats and DebugData display to handle larger
194amounts of return data. Properly limit requests to MAX_REQ (50
195is the usual maximum active multiplex SMB/CIFS requests per server).
196Do not kill cifsd (and thus hurt the other SMB session) when more than one
197session to the same server (but with different userids) exists and one
198of the two user's smb sessions is being removed while leaving the other.
199Do not loop reconnecting in cifsd demultiplex thread when admin
200kills the thread without going through unmount.
201
202Version 1.18
203------------
204Do not rename hardlinked files (since that should be a noop). Flush
205cached write behind data when reopening a file after session abend,
206except when already in write. Grab per socket sem during reconnect
207to avoid oops in sendmsg if overlapping with reconnect. Do not
208reset cached inode file size on readdir for files open for write on
209client.
210
211
212Version 1.17
213------------
214Update number of blocks in file so du command is happier (in Linux a fake
215blocksize of 512 is required for calculating number of blocks in inode).
216Fix prepare write of partial pages to read in data from server if possible.
217Fix race on tcpStatus field between unmount and reconnection code, causing
218cifsd process sometimes to hang around forever. Improve out of memory
219checks in cifs_filldir
220
221Version 1.16
222------------
223Fix incorrect file size in file handle based setattr on big endian hardware.
224Fix oops in build_path_from_dentry when out of memory. Add checks for invalid
225and closing file structs in writepage/partialpagewrite. Add statistics
226for each mounted share (new menuconfig option). Fix endianness problem in
227volume information displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData (only affects
228affects big endian architectures). Prevent renames while constructing
229path names for open, mkdir and rmdir.
230
231Version 1.15
232------------
233Change to mempools for alloc smb request buffers and multiplex structs
234to better handle low memory problems (and potential deadlocks).
235
236Version 1.14
237------------
238Fix incomplete listings of large directories on Samba servers when Unix
239extensions enabled. Fix oops when smb_buffer can not be allocated. Fix
240rename deadlock when writing out dirty pages at same time.
241
242Version 1.13
243------------
244Fix open of files in which O_CREATE can cause the mode to change in
245some cases. Fix case in which retry of write overlaps file close.
246Fix PPC64 build error. Reduce excessive stack usage in smb password
247hashing. Fix overwrite of Linux user's view of file mode to Windows servers.
248
249Version 1.12
250------------
251Fixes for large file copy, signal handling, socket retry, buffer
252allocation and low memory situations.
253
254Version 1.11
255------------
256Better port 139 support to Windows servers (RFC1001/RFC1002 Session_Initialize)
257also now allowing support for specifying client netbiosname. NT4 support added.
258
259Version 1.10
260------------
261Fix reconnection (and certain failed mounts) to properly wake up the
262blocked users thread so it does not seem hung (in some cases was blocked
263until the cifs receive timeout expired). Fix spurious error logging
264to kernel log when application with open network files killed.
265
266Version 1.09
267------------
268Fix /proc/fs module unload warning message (that could be logged
269to the kernel log). Fix intermittent failure in connectathon
270test7 (hardlink count not immediately refreshed in case in which
271inode metadata can be incorrectly kept cached when time near zero)
272
273Version 1.08
274------------
275Allow file_mode and dir_mode (specified at mount time) to be enforced
276locally (the server already enforced its own ACLs too) for servers
277that do not report the correct mode (do not support the
278CIFS Unix Extensions).
279
280Version 1.07
281------------
282Fix some small memory leaks in some unmount error paths. Fix major leak
283of cache pages in readpages causing multiple read oriented stress
284testcases (including fsx, and even large file copy) to fail over time.
285
286Version 1.06
287------------
288Send NTCreateX with ATTR_POSIX if Linux/Unix extensions negotiated with server.
289This allows files that differ only in case and improves performance of file
290creation and file open to such servers. Fix semaphore conflict which causes
291slow delete of open file to Samba (which unfortunately can cause an oplock
292break to self while vfs_unlink held i_sem) which can hang for 20 seconds.
293
294Version 1.05
295------------
296fixes to cifs_readpages for fsx test case
297
298Version 1.04
299------------
300Fix caching data integrity bug when extending file size especially when no
301oplock on file. Fix spurious logging of valid already parsed mount options
302that are parsed outside of the cifs vfs such as nosuid.
303
304
305Version 1.03
306------------
307Connect to server when port number override not specified, and tcp port
308unitialized. Reset search to restart at correct file when kernel routine
309filldir returns error during large directory searches (readdir).
310
311Version 1.02
312------------
313Fix caching problem when files opened by multiple clients in which
314page cache could contain stale data, and write through did
315not occur often enough while file was still open when read ahead
316(read oplock) not allowed. Treat "sep=" when first mount option
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -0700317as an override of comma as the default separator between mount
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700318options.
319
320Version 1.01
321------------
322Allow passwords longer than 16 bytes. Allow null password string.
323
324Version 1.00
325------------
326Gracefully clean up failed mounts when attempting to mount to servers such as
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -0700327Windows 98 that terminate tcp sessions during protocol negotiation. Handle
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700328embedded commas in mount parsing of passwords.
329
330Version 0.99
331------------
332Invalidate local inode cached pages on oplock break and when last file
333instance is closed so that the client does not continue using stale local
334copy rather than later modified server copy of file. Do not reconnect
335when server drops the tcp session prematurely before negotiate
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -0700336protocol response. Fix oops in reopen_file when dentry freed. Allow
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700337the support for CIFS Unix Extensions to be disabled via proc interface.
338
339Version 0.98
340------------
341Fix hang in commit_write during reconnection of open files under heavy load.
342Fix unload_nls oops in a mount failure path. Serialize writes to same socket
343which also fixes any possible races when cifs signatures are enabled in SMBs
344being sent out of signature sequence number order.
345
346Version 0.97
347------------
348Fix byte range locking bug (endian problem) causing bad offset and
349length.
350
351Version 0.96
352------------
353Fix oops (in send_sig) caused by CIFS unmount code trying to
354wake up the demultiplex thread after it had exited. Do not log
355error on harmless oplock release of closed handle.
356
357Version 0.95
358------------
359Fix unsafe global variable usage and password hash failure on gcc 3.3.1
360Fix problem reconnecting secondary mounts to same server after session
361failure. Fix invalid dentry - race in mkdir when directory gets created
362by another client between the lookup and mkdir.
363
364Version 0.94
365------------
366Fix to list processing in reopen_files. Fix reconnection when server hung
367but tcpip session still alive. Set proper timeout on socket read.
368
369Version 0.93
370------------
371Add missing mount options including iocharset. SMP fixes in write and open.
372Fix errors in reconnecting after TCP session failure. Fix module unloading
373of default nls codepage
374

393------------
394Fix oops on write to dead tcp session. Remove error log write for case when file open
395O_CREAT but not O_EXCL
396
397Version 0.88
398------------
399Fix non-POSIX behavior on rename of open file and delete of open file by taking
400advantage of trans2 SetFileInfo rename facility if available on target server.
401Retry on ENOSPC and EAGAIN socket errors.
402
403Version 0.87
404------------
405Fix oops on big endian readdir. Set blksize to be even power of two (2**blkbits) to fix
406allocation size miscalculation. After oplock token lost do not read through
407cache.

416during auto reconnection to server after server recovered from failure.
417
418Version 0.84
419------------
420Finish support for Linux 2.5 open/create changes, which removes the
421redundant NTCreate/QPathInfo/close that was sent during file create.
422Enable oplock by default. Enable packet signing by default (needed to
423access many recent Windows servers)
424
425Version 0.83
426------------
427Fix oops when mounting to long server names caused by inverted parms to kmalloc.
428Fix MultiuserMount (/proc/fs/cifs configuration setting) so that when enabled
429we will choose a cifs user session (smb uid) that better matches the local
430uid if a) the mount uid does not match the current uid and b) we have another
431session to the same server (ip address) for a different mount which
432matches the current local uid.
433

435------------
436Add support for mknod of block or character devices. Fix oplock
437code (distributed caching) to properly send response to oplock
438break from server.
439
440Version 0.81
441------------
442Finish up CIFS packet digital signing for the default
443NTLM security case. This should help Windows 2003
444network interoperability since it is common for
445packet signing to be required now. Fix statfs (stat -f)
446which recently started returning errors due to
447invalid value (-1 instead of 0) being set in the
448struct kstatfs f_ffiles field.
449

469of openfile linked list. Allow writebehind caching errors to
470be returned to the application at file close.
471
472Version 0.76

474Clean up options displayed in /proc/mounts by show_options to
475be more consistent with other filesystems.
476
477Version 0.75

485
486Version 0.74
487------------

510mount). Add support for overriding rsize at mount time.
511
512Version 0.69
513------------
514Fix buffer overrun in readdir which caused intermittent kernel oopses.
515Fix writepage code to release kmap on write data. Allow "-ip=" new

518tcp port of the target server via new mount option "-port="
519
520Version 0.68
521------------
522Fix search handle leak on rewind. Fix setuid and gid so that they are
523reflected in the local inode immediately. Cleanup of whitespace
524to make 2.4 and 2.5 versions more consistent.
525
526
527Version 0.67
528------------
529Fix signal sending so that captive thread (cifsd) exits on umount
530(which was causing the warning in kmem_cache_free of the request buffers
531at rmmod time). This had broken as a sideeffect of the recent global
532kernel change to daemonize. Fix memory leak in readdir code which
533showed up in "ls -R" (and applications that did search rewinding).
534
535Version 0.66
536------------
537Reconnect tids and fids after session reconnection (still do not
538reconnect byte range locks though). Fix problem caching

551fail to Windows servers. Cleaned up some extraneous error logging in
552common error paths. Add generic sendfile support.
553
554Version 0.63
555------------
556Fix memory leak in AllocMidQEntry.
557Finish reconnection logic, so connection with server can be dropped
558(or server rebooted) and the cifs client will reconnect.
559
560Version 0.62
561------------
562Fix temporary socket leak when bad userid or password specified
563(or other SMBSessSetup failure). Increase maximum buffer size to slightly
564over 16K to allow negotiation of up to Samba and Windows server default read
565sizes. Add support for readpages
566
567Version 0.61
568------------
569Fix oops when username not passed in on mount. Extensive fixes and improvements
570to error logging (strip redundant newlines, change debug macros to ensure newline
571passed in and to be more consistent). Fix writepage wrong file handle problem,
572a readonly file handle could be incorrectly used to attempt to write out
573file updates through the page cache to multiply open files. This could cause
574the iozone benchmark to fail on the fwrite test. Fix bug mounting two different
575shares to the same Windows server when using different usernames
576(doing this to Samba servers worked but Windows was rejecting it) - now it is
577possible to use different userids when connecting to the same server from a
578Linux client. Fix oops when treeDisconnect called during unmount on
579previously freed socket.
580
581Version 0.60

593Changed read and write to go through pagecache. Added additional address space operations.
594Memory mapped operations now working.
595
596Version 0.57
597------------
598Added writepage code for additional memory mapping support. Fixed leak in xids causing
599the simultaneous operations counter (/proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps) to increase on
600every stat call. Additional formatting cleanup.
601
602Version 0.56
603------------

674
675Version 0.41
676------------
677Various minor fixes for Connectathon Posix "basic" file i/o test suite. Directory caching fixed so hardlinked
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -0700678files now return the correct number of links on fstat as they are repeatedly linked and unlinked.
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700679
680Version 0.40
681------------

706
707Version 0.34
708------------
709Fixed dentry caching bug, misc. cleanup
710
711Version 0.33
712------------
713Fixed 2.5 support to handle build and configure changes as well as misc. 2.5 changes. Now can build
714on current 2.5 beta version (2.5.24) of the Linux kernel as well as on 2.4 Linux kernels.

722
723Version 0.31
724------------
7251) Fixed lockrange to be correct (it was one byte too short)
726
7272) Fixed GETLK (i.e. the fcntl call to test a range of bytes in a file to see if locked) to correctly
728show range as locked when there is a conflict with an existing lock.
729
7303) default file perms are now 2767 (indicating support for mandatory locks) instead of 777 for directories
731in most cases. Eventually will offer optional ability to query server for the correct perms.
732
7333) Fixed eventual trap when mounting twice to different shares on the same server when the first succeeded
734but the second one was invalid and failed (the second one was incorrectly disconnecting the tcp and smb
735session)
736
7374) Fixed error logging of valid mount options
738
7395) Removed logging of password field.
740
7416) Moved negotiate, treeDisconnect and uloggoffX (only tConx and SessSetup remain in connect.c) to cifssmb.c
742and cleaned them up and made them more consistent with other cifs functions.
743
7447) Server support for Unix extensions is now fully detected and FindFirst is implemented both ways
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -0700745(with or without Unix extensions) but FindNext and QueryPathInfo with the Unix extensions are not completed,
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700746nor is the symlink support using the Unix extensions
