2------------
Steve French84afc292005-12-02 13:32:45 -08003Use fsuid (fsgid) more consistently instead of uid (gid). Improve performance
Steve French0a4b92c2006-01-12 15:44:21 -08004of readpages by eliminating one extra memcpy. Allow update of file size
5from remote server even if file is open for write as long as mount is
6directio.

Steve French23e7dd72005-10-20 13:44:56 -07008Version 1.39
9------------
Steve French3abb9272005-11-28 08:16:13 -080010Defer close of a file handle slightly if pending writes depend on that handle
Steve French23e7dd72005-10-20 13:44:56 -070011(this reduces the EBADF bad file handle errors that can be logged under heavy
Steve French3c50c612005-11-10 17:31:33 -080012stress on writes). Modify cifs Kconfig options to expose CONFIG_CIFS_STATS2
Steve French3abb9272005-11-28 08:16:13 -080013Fix SFU style symlinks and mknod needed for servers which do not support the
14CIFS Unix Extensions. Fix setfacl/getfacl on bigendian. Timeout negative
15dentries so files that the client sees as deleted but that later get created
Steve French6473a552005-11-29 20:20:10 -080016on the server will be recognized. Add client side permission check on setattr.
Steve French83451872005-12-01 17:12:59 -080017Timeout stuck requests better (where server has never responded or sent corrupt
18responses)
Steve French23e7dd72005-10-20 13:44:56 -070019
Steve French190fdeb2005-10-10 11:48:26 -070020Version 1.38
21------------
22Fix tcp socket retransmission timeouts (e.g. on ENOSPACE from the socket)
23to be smaller at first (but increasing) so large write performance performance
24over GigE is better. Do not hang thread on illegal byte range lock response
25from Windows (Windows can send an RFC1001 size which does not match smb size) by
26allowing an SMBs TCP length to be up to a few bytes longer than it should be.
27wsize and rsize can now be larger than negotiated buffer size if server
28supports large readx/writex, even when directio mount flag not specified.
29Write size will in many cases now be 16K instead of 4K which greatly helps
Steve French4ca9c192005-10-10 19:52:13 -070030file copy performance on lightly loaded networks. Fix oops in dnotify
Steve French1047abc2005-10-11 19:58:06 -070031when experimental config flag enabled. Make cifsFYI more granular.
Steve French190fdeb2005-10-10 11:48:26 -070032
Steve Frencheafe8702005-09-15 21:47:30 -070033Version 1.37
34------------
35Fix readdir caching when unlink removes file in current search buffer,
36and this is followed by a rewind search to just before the deleted entry.
Steve Frenche30dcf32005-09-20 20:49:16 -070037Do not attempt to set ctime unless atime and/or mtime change requested
Steve French20962432005-09-21 22:05:57 -070038(most servers throw it away anyway). Fix length check of received smbs
Steve French70ca7342005-09-22 16:32:06 -070039to be more accurate. Fix big endian problem with mapchars mount option,
40and with a field returned by statfs.
Steve Frencheafe8702005-09-15 21:47:30 -070041
Steve Frenchc46fa8a2005-08-18 20:49:57 -070042Version 1.36
43------------
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -070044Add support for mounting to older pre-CIFS servers such as Windows9x and ME.
Steve French6b8edfe2005-08-23 20:26:03 -070045For these older servers, add option for passing netbios name of server in
Steve French16abbec2005-08-30 13:10:14 -070046on mount (servernetbiosname). Add suspend support for power management, to
47avoid cifsd thread preventing software suspend from working.
Steve Frenchc46fa8a2005-08-18 20:49:57 -070048Add mount option for disabling the default behavior of sending byte range lock
49requests to the server (necessary for certain applications which break with
50mandatory lock behavior such as Evolution), and also mount option for
51requesting case insensitive matching for path based requests (requesting
52case sensitive is the default).
53
Steve Frenchf4cfd692005-07-14 18:29:02 -050054Version 1.35
55------------
56Add writepage performance improvements. Fix path name conversions
57for long filenames on mounts which were done with "mapchars" mount option
Steve Frencha10faeb22005-08-22 21:38:31 -070058specified. Ensure multiplex ids do not collide. Fix case in which
59rmmod can oops if done soon after last unmount. Fix truncated
60search (readdir) output when resume filename was a long filename.
61Fix filename conversion when mapchars mount option was specified and
62filename was a long filename.
Steve Frenchf4cfd692005-07-14 18:29:02 -050063
Steve French11aa0142005-04-28 22:41:10 -070064Version 1.34
65------------
66Fix error mapping of the TOO_MANY_LINKS (hardlinks) case.
Steve French31ca3bc2005-04-28 22:41:11 -070067Do not oops if root user kills cifs oplock kernel thread or
68kills the cifsd thread (NB: killing the cifs kernel threads is not
69recommended, unmount and rmmod cifs will kill them when they are
Steve French68575472005-04-30 11:10:57 -070070no longer needed). Fix readdir to ASCII servers (ie older servers
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -070071which do not support Unicode) and also require asterisk.
Steve French3079ca62005-06-09 14:44:07 -070072Fix out of memory case in which data could be written one page
73off in the page cache.
Steve French11aa0142005-04-28 22:41:10 -070074
Steve French966ca922005-04-28 22:41:08 -070075Version 1.33
76------------
77Fix caching problem, in which readdir of directory containing a file
78which was cached could cause the file's time stamp to be updated
79without invalidating the readahead data (so we could get stale
80file data on the client for that file even as the server copy changed).
Steve Frenchcd634992005-04-28 22:41:10 -070081Cleanup response processing so cifsd can not loop when abnormally
82terminated.
Steve French966ca922005-04-28 22:41:08 -070083
84
Steve Frenchf654bac2005-04-28 22:41:04 -070085Version 1.32
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070086------------
87Fix oops in ls when Transact2 FindFirst (or FindNext) returns more than one
88transact response for an SMB request and search entry split across two frames.
Steve Frenchf654bac2005-04-28 22:41:04 -070089Add support for lsattr (getting ext2/ext3/reiserfs attr flags from the server)
90as new protocol extensions. Do not send Get/Set calls for POSIX ACLs
91unless server explicitly claims to support them in CIFS Unix extensions
Steve Frenchad009ac2005-04-28 22:41:05 -070092POSIX ACL capability bit. Fix packet signing when multiuser mounting with
Steve Frenchcbe04762005-04-28 22:41:05 -070093different users from the same client to the same server. Fix oops in
Steve French6a0b4822005-04-28 22:41:05 -070094cifs_close. Add mount option for remapping reserved characters in
95filenames (also allow recognizing files with created by SFU which have any
Steve French737b7582005-04-28 22:41:06 -070096of these seven reserved characters, except backslash, to be recognized).
Steve French848f3fc2005-04-28 22:41:07 -070097Fix invalid transact2 message (we were sometimes trying to interpret
Steve French099a58f2005-04-28 22:41:07 -070098oplock breaks as SMB responses). Add ioctl for checking that the
99current uid matches the uid of the mounter (needed by umount.cifs).
100Reduce the number of large buffer allocations in cifs response processing
101(significantly reduces memory pressure under heavy stress with multiple
102processes accessing the same server at the same time).
Steve Frenchf654bac2005-04-28 22:41:04 -0700103
104Version 1.31
105------------
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700106Fix updates of DOS attributes and time fields so that files on NT4 servers
107do not get marked delete on close. Display sizes of cifs buffer pools in
108cifs stats. Fix oops in unmount when cifsd thread being killed by
109shutdown. Add generic readv/writev and aio support. Report inode numbers
110consistently in readdir and lookup (when serverino mount option is
111specified use the inode number that the server reports - for both lookup
112and readdir, otherwise by default the locally generated inode number is used
113for inodes created in either path since servers are not always able to
114provide unique inode numbers when exporting multiple volumes from under one
115sharename).
116
117Version 1.30
118------------
119Allow new nouser_xattr mount parm to disable xattr support for user namespace.
120Do not flag user_xattr mount parm in dmesg. Retry failures setting file time
121(mostly affects NT4 servers) by retry with handle based network operation.
122Add new POSIX Query FS Info for returning statfs info more accurately.
123Handle passwords with multiple commas in them.
124
125Version 1.29
126------------
127Fix default mode in sysfs of cifs module parms. Remove old readdir routine.
128Fix capabilities flags for large readx so as to allow reads larger than 64K.
129
130Version 1.28
131------------
132Add module init parm for large SMB buffer size (to allow it to be changed
133from its default of 16K) which is especially useful for large file copy
134when mounting with the directio mount option. Fix oops after
135returning from mount when experimental ExtendedSecurity enabled and
136SpnegoNegotiated returning invalid error. Fix case to retry better when
137peek returns from 1 to 3 bytes on socket which should have more data.
138Fixed path based calls (such as cifs lookup) to handle path names
139longer than 530 (now can handle PATH_MAX). Fix pass through authentication
140from Samba server to DC (Samba required dummy LM password).
141
142Version 1.27
143------------
144Turn off DNOTIFY (directory change notification support) by default
145(unless built with the experimental flag) to fix hang with KDE
146file browser. Fix DNOTIFY flag mappings. Fix hang (in wait_event
147waiting on an SMB response) in SendReceive when session dies but
148reconnects quickly from another task. Add module init parms for
149minimum number of large and small network buffers in the buffer pools,
150and for the maximum number of simultaneous requests.
151
152Version 1.26
153------------
154Add setfacl support to allow setting of ACLs remotely to Samba 3.10 and later
155and other POSIX CIFS compliant servers. Fix error mapping for getfacl
156to EOPNOTSUPP when server does not support posix acls on the wire. Fix
157improperly zeroed buffer in CIFS Unix extensions set times call.
158
159Version 1.25
160------------
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -0700161Fix internationalization problem in cifs readdir with filenames that map to
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700162longer UTF8 strings than the string on the wire was in Unicode. Add workaround
163for readdir to netapp servers. Fix search rewind (seek into readdir to return
164non-consecutive entries). Do not do readdir when server negotiates
165buffer size to small to fit filename. Add support for reading POSIX ACLs from
166the server (add also acl and noacl mount options).
167
168Version 1.24
169------------
170Optionally allow using server side inode numbers, rather than client generated
171ones by specifying mount option "serverino" - this is required for some apps
172to work which double check hardlinked files and have persistent inode numbers.
173
174Version 1.23
175------------
176Multiple bigendian fixes. On little endian systems (for reconnect after
177network failure) fix tcp session reconnect code so we do not try first
178to reconnect on reverse of port 445. Treat reparse points (NTFS junctions)
179as directories rather than symlinks because we can do follow link on them.
180
181Version 1.22
182------------
183Add config option to enable XATTR (extended attribute) support, mapping
184xattr names in the "user." namespace space to SMB/CIFS EAs. Lots of
185minor fixes pointed out by the Stanford SWAT checker (mostly missing
186or out of order NULL pointer checks in little used error paths).
187
188Version 1.21
189------------
190Add new mount parm to control whether mode check (generic_permission) is done
191on the client. If Unix extensions are enabled and the uids on the client
192and server do not match, client permission checks are meaningless on
193server uids that do not exist on the client (this does not affect the
194normal ACL check which occurs on the server). Fix default uid
195on mknod to match create and mkdir. Add optional mount parm to allow
196override of the default uid behavior (in which the server sets the uid
197and gid of newly created files). Normally for network filesystem mounts
198user want the server to set the uid/gid on newly created files (rather than
199using uid of the client processes you would in a local filesystem).
200
201Version 1.20
202------------
203Make transaction counts more consistent. Merge /proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps
204info into /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData. Fix oops in rare oops in readdir
205(in build_wildcard_path_from_dentry). Fix mknod to pass type field
206(block/char/fifo) properly. Remove spurious mount warning log entry when
207credentials passed as mount argument. Set major/minor device number in
208inode for block and char devices when unix extensions enabled.
209
210Version 1.19
211------------
212Fix /proc/fs/cifs/Stats and DebugData display to handle larger
213amounts of return data. Properly limit requests to MAX_REQ (50
214is the usual maximum active multiplex SMB/CIFS requests per server).
215Do not kill cifsd (and thus hurt the other SMB session) when more than one
216session to the same server (but with different userids) exists and one
217of the two user's smb sessions is being removed while leaving the other.
218Do not loop reconnecting in cifsd demultiplex thread when admin
219kills the thread without going through unmount.
220
221Version 1.18
222------------
223Do not rename hardlinked files (since that should be a noop). Flush
224cached write behind data when reopening a file after session abend,
225except when already in write. Grab per socket sem during reconnect
226to avoid oops in sendmsg if overlapping with reconnect. Do not
227reset cached inode file size on readdir for files open for write on
228client.
229
230
231Version 1.17
232------------
233Update number of blocks in file so du command is happier (in Linux a fake
234blocksize of 512 is required for calculating number of blocks in inode).
235Fix prepare write of partial pages to read in data from server if possible.
236Fix race on tcpStatus field between unmount and reconnection code, causing
237cifsd process sometimes to hang around forever. Improve out of memory
238checks in cifs_filldir
239
240Version 1.16
241------------
242Fix incorrect file size in file handle based setattr on big endian hardware.
243Fix oops in build_path_from_dentry when out of memory. Add checks for invalid
244and closing file structs in writepage/partialpagewrite. Add statistics
245for each mounted share (new menuconfig option). Fix endianness problem in
246volume information displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData (only affects
247affects big endian architectures). Prevent renames while constructing
248path names for open, mkdir and rmdir.
249
250Version 1.15
251------------
252Change to mempools for alloc smb request buffers and multiplex structs
253to better handle low memory problems (and potential deadlocks).
254
255Version 1.14
256------------
257Fix incomplete listings of large directories on Samba servers when Unix
258extensions enabled. Fix oops when smb_buffer can not be allocated. Fix
259rename deadlock when writing out dirty pages at same time.
260
261Version 1.13
262------------
263Fix open of files in which O_CREATE can cause the mode to change in
264some cases. Fix case in which retry of write overlaps file close.
265Fix PPC64 build error. Reduce excessive stack usage in smb password
266hashing. Fix overwrite of Linux user's view of file mode to Windows servers.
267
268Version 1.12
269------------
270Fixes for large file copy, signal handling, socket retry, buffer
271allocation and low memory situations.
272
273Version 1.11
274------------
275Better port 139 support to Windows servers (RFC1001/RFC1002 Session_Initialize)
276also now allowing support for specifying client netbiosname. NT4 support added.
277
278Version 1.10
279------------
280Fix reconnection (and certain failed mounts) to properly wake up the
281blocked users thread so it does not seem hung (in some cases was blocked
282until the cifs receive timeout expired). Fix spurious error logging
283to kernel log when application with open network files killed.
284
285Version 1.09
286------------
287Fix /proc/fs module unload warning message (that could be logged
288to the kernel log). Fix intermittent failure in connectathon
289test7 (hardlink count not immediately refreshed in case in which
290inode metadata can be incorrectly kept cached when time near zero)
291
292Version 1.08
293------------
294Allow file_mode and dir_mode (specified at mount time) to be enforced
295locally (the server already enforced its own ACLs too) for servers
296that do not report the correct mode (do not support the
297CIFS Unix Extensions).
298
299Version 1.07
300------------
301Fix some small memory leaks in some unmount error paths. Fix major leak
302of cache pages in readpages causing multiple read oriented stress
303testcases (including fsx, and even large file copy) to fail over time.
304
305Version 1.06
306------------
307Send NTCreateX with ATTR_POSIX if Linux/Unix extensions negotiated with server.
308This allows files that differ only in case and improves performance of file
309creation and file open to such servers. Fix semaphore conflict which causes
310slow delete of open file to Samba (which unfortunately can cause an oplock
311break to self while vfs_unlink held i_sem) which can hang for 20 seconds.
312
313Version 1.05
314------------
315fixes to cifs_readpages for fsx test case
316
317Version 1.04
318------------
319Fix caching data integrity bug when extending file size especially when no
320oplock on file. Fix spurious logging of valid already parsed mount options
321that are parsed outside of the cifs vfs such as nosuid.
322
323
324Version 1.03
325------------
326Connect to server when port number override not specified, and tcp port
327unitialized. Reset search to restart at correct file when kernel routine
328filldir returns error during large directory searches (readdir).
329
330Version 1.02
331------------
332Fix caching problem when files opened by multiple clients in which
333page cache could contain stale data, and write through did
334not occur often enough while file was still open when read ahead
335(read oplock) not allowed. Treat "sep=" when first mount option
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -0700336as an override of comma as the default separator between mount
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700337options.
338
339Version 1.01
340------------
341Allow passwords longer than 16 bytes. Allow null password string.
342
343Version 1.00
344------------
345Gracefully clean up failed mounts when attempting to mount to servers such as
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -0700346Windows 98 that terminate tcp sessions during protocol negotiation. Handle
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700347embedded commas in mount parsing of passwords.
348
349Version 0.99
350------------
351Invalidate local inode cached pages on oplock break and when last file
352instance is closed so that the client does not continue using stale local
353copy rather than later modified server copy of file. Do not reconnect
354when server drops the tcp session prematurely before negotiate
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -0700355protocol response. Fix oops in reopen_file when dentry freed. Allow
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700356the support for CIFS Unix Extensions to be disabled via proc interface.
357
358Version 0.98
359------------
360Fix hang in commit_write during reconnection of open files under heavy load.
361Fix unload_nls oops in a mount failure path. Serialize writes to same socket
362which also fixes any possible races when cifs signatures are enabled in SMBs
363being sent out of signature sequence number order.
364
365Version 0.97
366------------
367Fix byte range locking bug (endian problem) causing bad offset and
368length.
369
370Version 0.96
371------------
372Fix oops (in send_sig) caused by CIFS unmount code trying to
373wake up the demultiplex thread after it had exited. Do not log
374error on harmless oplock release of closed handle.
375
376Version 0.95
377------------
378Fix unsafe global variable usage and password hash failure on gcc 3.3.1
379Fix problem reconnecting secondary mounts to same server after session
380failure. Fix invalid dentry - race in mkdir when directory gets created
381by another client between the lookup and mkdir.
382
383Version 0.94
384------------
385Fix to list processing in reopen_files. Fix reconnection when server hung
386but tcpip session still alive. Set proper timeout on socket read.
387
388Version 0.93
389------------
390Add missing mount options including iocharset. SMP fixes in write and open.
391Fix errors in reconnecting after TCP session failure. Fix module unloading
392of default nls codepage
393
394Version 0.92
395------------
396Active smb transactions should never go negative (fix double FreeXid). Fix

435during auto reconnection to server after server recovered from failure.
436
437Version 0.84
438------------
439Finish support for Linux 2.5 open/create changes, which removes the
440redundant NTCreate/QPathInfo/close that was sent during file create.
441Enable oplock by default. Enable packet signing by default (needed to
442access many recent Windows servers)
443
444Version 0.83
445------------
446Fix oops when mounting to long server names caused by inverted parms to kmalloc.
447Fix MultiuserMount (/proc/fs/cifs configuration setting) so that when enabled
448we will choose a cifs user session (smb uid) that better matches the local
449uid if a) the mount uid does not match the current uid and b) we have another

517allows disabling caching of attribute information for
518lookups.
519
520Version 0.71
521------------
522Add more oplock handling (distributed caching code). Remove
523dead code. Remove excessive stack space utilization from
524symlink routines.
525
526Version 0.70
527------------
528Fix oops in get dfs referral (triggered when null path sent in to
529mount). Add support for overriding rsize at mount time.
530
531Version 0.69
532------------
533Fix buffer overrun in readdir which caused intermittent kernel oopses.
534Fix writepage code to release kmap on write data. Allow "-ip=" new
535mount option to be passed in on parameter distinct from the first part
536(server name portion of) the UNC name. Allow override of the
537tcp port of the target server via new mount option "-port="
538
539Version 0.68
540------------
541Fix search handle leak on rewind. Fix setuid and gid so that they are
542reflected in the local inode immediately. Cleanup of whitespace
543to make 2.4 and 2.5 versions more consistent.
544
545
546Version 0.67
547------------
548Fix signal sending so that captive thread (cifsd) exits on umount
549(which was causing the warning in kmem_cache_free of the request buffers
550at rmmod time). This had broken as a sideeffect of the recent global
551kernel change to daemonize. Fix memory leak in readdir code which
552showed up in "ls -R" (and applications that did search rewinding).
553
554Version 0.66
555------------
556Reconnect tids and fids after session reconnection (still do not
557reconnect byte range locks though). Fix problem caching
558lookup information for directory inodes, improving performance,
559especially in deep directory trees. Fix various build warnings.
560
561Version 0.65
562------------

572
573Version 0.63
574------------
575Fix memory leak in AllocMidQEntry.
576Finish reconnection logic, so connection with server can be dropped

578
579Version 0.62
580------------
581Fix temporary socket leak when bad userid or password specified
582(or other SMBSessSetup failure). Increase maximum buffer size to slightly

584sizes. Add support for readpages
585
586Version 0.61
587------------
588Fix oops when username not passed in on mount. Extensive fixes and improvements
589to error logging (strip redundant newlines, change debug macros to ensure newline
590passed in and to be more consistent). Fix writepage wrong file handle problem,
591a readonly file handle could be incorrectly used to attempt to write out
592file updates through the page cache to multiply open files. This could cause
593the iozone benchmark to fail on the fwrite test. Fix bug mounting two different
594shares to the same Windows server when using different usernames
595(doing this to Samba servers worked but Windows was rejecting it) - now it is
596possible to use different userids when connecting to the same server from a
597Linux client. Fix oops when treeDisconnect called during unmount on
598previously freed socket.
599
600Version 0.60

612Changed read and write to go through pagecache. Added additional address space operations.
613Memory mapped operations now working.
614
615Version 0.57
616------------
617Added writepage code for additional memory mapping support. Fixed leak in xids causing
618the simultaneous operations counter (/proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps) to increase on
619every stat call. Additional formatting cleanup.
620
621Version 0.56
622------------

693
694Version 0.41
695------------
696Various minor fixes for Connectathon Posix "basic" file i/o test suite. Directory caching fixed so hardlinked
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -0700697files now return the correct number of links on fstat as they are repeatedly linked and unlinked.

725
726Version 0.34
727------------
728Fixed dentry caching bug, misc. cleanup
729
730Version 0.33
731------------
732Fixed 2.5 support to handle build and configure changes as well as misc. 2.5 changes. Now can build
733on current 2.5 beta version (2.5.24) of the Linux kernel as well as on 2.4 Linux kernels.

741
742Version 0.31
743------------
7441) Fixed lockrange to be correct (it was one byte too short)
745
7462) Fixed GETLK (i.e. the fcntl call to test a range of bytes in a file to see if locked) to correctly
747show range as locked when there is a conflict with an existing lock.
748
7493) default file perms are now 2767 (indicating support for mandatory locks) instead of 777 for directories
750in most cases. Eventually will offer optional ability to query server for the correct perms.

7523) Fixed eventual trap when mounting twice to different shares on the same server when the first succeeded
753but the second one was invalid and failed (the second one was incorrectly disconnecting the tcp and smb
754session)
755
7564) Fixed error logging of valid mount options
757
7585) Removed logging of password field.
759
7606) Moved negotiate, treeDisconnect and uloggoffX (only tConx and SessSetup remain in connect.c) to cifssmb.c
761and cleaned them up and made them more consistent with other cifs functions.
762
7637) Server support for Unix extensions is now fully detected and FindFirst is implemented both ways
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -0700764(with or without Unix extensions) but FindNext and QueryPathInfo with the Unix extensions are not completed,
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700765nor is the symlink support using the Unix extensions
