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
11file copy performance on lightly loaded networks.

Steve Frencheafe8702005-09-15 21:47:30 -070013Version 1.37
14------------
15Fix readdir caching when unlink removes file in current search buffer,
16and this is followed by a rewind search to just before the deleted entry.
Steve Frenche30dcf32005-09-20 20:49:16 -070017Do not attempt to set ctime unless atime and/or mtime change requested
Steve French20962432005-09-21 22:05:57 -070018(most servers throw it away anyway). Fix length check of received smbs
Steve French70ca7342005-09-22 16:32:06 -070019to be more accurate. Fix big endian problem with mapchars mount option,
20and with a field returned by statfs.
Steve Frencheafe8702005-09-15 21:47:30 -070021
Steve Frenchc46fa8a2005-08-18 20:49:57 -070022Version 1.36
23------------
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -070024Add support for mounting to older pre-CIFS servers such as Windows9x and ME.
Steve French6b8edfe2005-08-23 20:26:03 -070025For these older servers, add option for passing netbios name of server in
Steve French16abbec2005-08-30 13:10:14 -070026on mount (servernetbiosname). Add suspend support for power management, to
27avoid cifsd thread preventing software suspend from working.
Steve Frenchc46fa8a2005-08-18 20:49:57 -070028Add mount option for disabling the default behavior of sending byte range lock
29requests to the server (necessary for certain applications which break with
30mandatory lock behavior such as Evolution), and also mount option for
31requesting case insensitive matching for path based requests (requesting
32case sensitive is the default).
33
Steve Frenchf4cfd692005-07-14 18:29:02 -050034Version 1.35
35------------
36Add writepage performance improvements. Fix path name conversions
37for long filenames on mounts which were done with "mapchars" mount option
Steve Frencha10faeb22005-08-22 21:38:31 -070038specified. Ensure multiplex ids do not collide. Fix case in which
39rmmod can oops if done soon after last unmount. Fix truncated
40search (readdir) output when resume filename was a long filename.
41Fix filename conversion when mapchars mount option was specified and
42filename was a long filename.
Steve Frenchf4cfd692005-07-14 18:29:02 -050043
Steve French11aa0142005-04-28 22:41:10 -070044Version 1.34
45------------
46Fix error mapping of the TOO_MANY_LINKS (hardlinks) case.
Steve French31ca3bc2005-04-28 22:41:11 -070047Do not oops if root user kills cifs oplock kernel thread or
48kills the cifsd thread (NB: killing the cifs kernel threads is not
49recommended, unmount and rmmod cifs will kill them when they are
Steve French68575472005-04-30 11:10:57 -070050no longer needed). Fix readdir to ASCII servers (ie older servers
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -070051which do not support Unicode) and also require asterisk.
Steve French3079ca62005-06-09 14:44:07 -070052Fix out of memory case in which data could be written one page
53off in the page cache.
Steve French11aa0142005-04-28 22:41:10 -070054
Steve French966ca922005-04-28 22:41:08 -070055Version 1.33
56------------
57Fix caching problem, in which readdir of directory containing a file
58which was cached could cause the file's time stamp to be updated
59without invalidating the readahead data (so we could get stale
60file data on the client for that file even as the server copy changed).
Steve Frenchcd634992005-04-28 22:41:10 -070061Cleanup response processing so cifsd can not loop when abnormally
62terminated.
Steve French966ca922005-04-28 22:41:08 -070063
64
Steve Frenchf654bac2005-04-28 22:41:04 -070065Version 1.32
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070066------------
67Fix oops in ls when Transact2 FindFirst (or FindNext) returns more than one
68transact response for an SMB request and search entry split across two frames.
Steve Frenchf654bac2005-04-28 22:41:04 -070069Add support for lsattr (getting ext2/ext3/reiserfs attr flags from the server)
70as new protocol extensions. Do not send Get/Set calls for POSIX ACLs
71unless server explicitly claims to support them in CIFS Unix extensions
Steve Frenchad009ac2005-04-28 22:41:05 -070072POSIX ACL capability bit. Fix packet signing when multiuser mounting with
Steve Frenchcbe04762005-04-28 22:41:05 -070073different users from the same client to the same server. Fix oops in
Steve French6a0b4822005-04-28 22:41:05 -070074cifs_close. Add mount option for remapping reserved characters in
75filenames (also allow recognizing files with created by SFU which have any
Steve French737b7582005-04-28 22:41:06 -070076of these seven reserved characters, except backslash, to be recognized).
Steve French848f3fc2005-04-28 22:41:07 -070077Fix invalid transact2 message (we were sometimes trying to interpret
Steve French099a58f2005-04-28 22:41:07 -070078oplock breaks as SMB responses). Add ioctl for checking that the
79current uid matches the uid of the mounter (needed by umount.cifs).
80Reduce the number of large buffer allocations in cifs response processing
81(significantly reduces memory pressure under heavy stress with multiple
82processes accessing the same server at the same time).
Steve Frenchf654bac2005-04-28 22:41:04 -070083
84Version 1.31
85------------
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070086Fix updates of DOS attributes and time fields so that files on NT4 servers
87do not get marked delete on close. Display sizes of cifs buffer pools in
88cifs stats. Fix oops in unmount when cifsd thread being killed by
89shutdown. Add generic readv/writev and aio support. Report inode numbers
90consistently in readdir and lookup (when serverino mount option is
91specified use the inode number that the server reports - for both lookup
92and readdir, otherwise by default the locally generated inode number is used
93for inodes created in either path since servers are not always able to
94provide unique inode numbers when exporting multiple volumes from under one
95sharename).
96
97Version 1.30
98------------
99Allow new nouser_xattr mount parm to disable xattr support for user namespace.
100Do not flag user_xattr mount parm in dmesg. Retry failures setting file time
101(mostly affects NT4 servers) by retry with handle based network operation.
102Add new POSIX Query FS Info for returning statfs info more accurately.
103Handle passwords with multiple commas in them.
104
105Version 1.29
106------------
107Fix default mode in sysfs of cifs module parms. Remove old readdir routine.
108Fix capabilities flags for large readx so as to allow reads larger than 64K.
109
110Version 1.28
111------------
112Add module init parm for large SMB buffer size (to allow it to be changed
113from its default of 16K) which is especially useful for large file copy
114when mounting with the directio mount option. Fix oops after
115returning from mount when experimental ExtendedSecurity enabled and
116SpnegoNegotiated returning invalid error. Fix case to retry better when
117peek returns from 1 to 3 bytes on socket which should have more data.
118Fixed path based calls (such as cifs lookup) to handle path names
119longer than 530 (now can handle PATH_MAX). Fix pass through authentication
120from Samba server to DC (Samba required dummy LM password).
121
122Version 1.27
123------------
124Turn off DNOTIFY (directory change notification support) by default
125(unless built with the experimental flag) to fix hang with KDE
126file browser. Fix DNOTIFY flag mappings. Fix hang (in wait_event
127waiting on an SMB response) in SendReceive when session dies but
128reconnects quickly from another task. Add module init parms for
129minimum number of large and small network buffers in the buffer pools,
130and for the maximum number of simultaneous requests.
131
132Version 1.26
133------------
134Add setfacl support to allow setting of ACLs remotely to Samba 3.10 and later
135and other POSIX CIFS compliant servers. Fix error mapping for getfacl
136to EOPNOTSUPP when server does not support posix acls on the wire. Fix
137improperly zeroed buffer in CIFS Unix extensions set times call.
138
139Version 1.25
140------------
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -0700141Fix internationalization problem in cifs readdir with filenames that map to
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700142longer UTF8 strings than the string on the wire was in Unicode. Add workaround
143for readdir to netapp servers. Fix search rewind (seek into readdir to return
144non-consecutive entries). Do not do readdir when server negotiates
145buffer size to small to fit filename. Add support for reading POSIX ACLs from
146the server (add also acl and noacl mount options).
147
148Version 1.24
149------------
150Optionally allow using server side inode numbers, rather than client generated
151ones by specifying mount option "serverino" - this is required for some apps
152to work which double check hardlinked files and have persistent inode numbers.
153
154Version 1.23
155------------
156Multiple bigendian fixes. On little endian systems (for reconnect after
157network failure) fix tcp session reconnect code so we do not try first
158to reconnect on reverse of port 445. Treat reparse points (NTFS junctions)
159as directories rather than symlinks because we can do follow link on them.
160
161Version 1.22
162------------
163Add config option to enable XATTR (extended attribute) support, mapping
164xattr names in the "user." namespace space to SMB/CIFS EAs. Lots of
165minor fixes pointed out by the Stanford SWAT checker (mostly missing
166or out of order NULL pointer checks in little used error paths).
167
168Version 1.21
169------------
170Add new mount parm to control whether mode check (generic_permission) is done
171on the client. If Unix extensions are enabled and the uids on the client
172and server do not match, client permission checks are meaningless on
173server uids that do not exist on the client (this does not affect the
174normal ACL check which occurs on the server). Fix default uid
175on mknod to match create and mkdir. Add optional mount parm to allow
176override of the default uid behavior (in which the server sets the uid
177and gid of newly created files). Normally for network filesystem mounts
178user want the server to set the uid/gid on newly created files (rather than
179using uid of the client processes you would in a local filesystem).
180
181Version 1.20
182------------
183Make transaction counts more consistent. Merge /proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps
184info into /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData. Fix oops in rare oops in readdir
185(in build_wildcard_path_from_dentry). Fix mknod to pass type field
186(block/char/fifo) properly. Remove spurious mount warning log entry when
187credentials passed as mount argument. Set major/minor device number in
188inode for block and char devices when unix extensions enabled.
189
190Version 1.19
191------------
192Fix /proc/fs/cifs/Stats and DebugData display to handle larger
193amounts of return data. Properly limit requests to MAX_REQ (50
194is the usual maximum active multiplex SMB/CIFS requests per server).
195Do not kill cifsd (and thus hurt the other SMB session) when more than one
196session to the same server (but with different userids) exists and one
197of the two user's smb sessions is being removed while leaving the other.
198Do not loop reconnecting in cifsd demultiplex thread when admin
199kills the thread without going through unmount.
200
201Version 1.18
202------------
203Do not rename hardlinked files (since that should be a noop). Flush
204cached write behind data when reopening a file after session abend,
205except when already in write. Grab per socket sem during reconnect
206to avoid oops in sendmsg if overlapping with reconnect. Do not
207reset cached inode file size on readdir for files open for write on
208client.
209
210
211Version 1.17
212------------
213Update number of blocks in file so du command is happier (in Linux a fake
214blocksize of 512 is required for calculating number of blocks in inode).
215Fix prepare write of partial pages to read in data from server if possible.
216Fix race on tcpStatus field between unmount and reconnection code, causing
217cifsd process sometimes to hang around forever. Improve out of memory
218checks in cifs_filldir
219
220Version 1.16
221------------
222Fix incorrect file size in file handle based setattr on big endian hardware.
223Fix oops in build_path_from_dentry when out of memory. Add checks for invalid
224and closing file structs in writepage/partialpagewrite. Add statistics
225for each mounted share (new menuconfig option). Fix endianness problem in
226volume information displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData (only affects
227affects big endian architectures). Prevent renames while constructing
228path names for open, mkdir and rmdir.
229
230Version 1.15
231------------
232Change to mempools for alloc smb request buffers and multiplex structs
233to better handle low memory problems (and potential deadlocks).
234
235Version 1.14
236------------
237Fix incomplete listings of large directories on Samba servers when Unix
238extensions enabled. Fix oops when smb_buffer can not be allocated. Fix
239rename deadlock when writing out dirty pages at same time.
240
241Version 1.13
242------------
243Fix open of files in which O_CREATE can cause the mode to change in
244some cases. Fix case in which retry of write overlaps file close.
245Fix PPC64 build error. Reduce excessive stack usage in smb password
246hashing. Fix overwrite of Linux user's view of file mode to Windows servers.
247
248Version 1.12
249------------
250Fixes for large file copy, signal handling, socket retry, buffer
251allocation and low memory situations.
252
253Version 1.11
254------------
255Better port 139 support to Windows servers (RFC1001/RFC1002 Session_Initialize)
256also now allowing support for specifying client netbiosname. NT4 support added.
257
258Version 1.10
259------------
260Fix reconnection (and certain failed mounts) to properly wake up the
261blocked users thread so it does not seem hung (in some cases was blocked
262until the cifs receive timeout expired). Fix spurious error logging
263to kernel log when application with open network files killed.
264
265Version 1.09
266------------
267Fix /proc/fs module unload warning message (that could be logged
268to the kernel log). Fix intermittent failure in connectathon
269test7 (hardlink count not immediately refreshed in case in which
270inode metadata can be incorrectly kept cached when time near zero)
271
272Version 1.08
273------------
274Allow file_mode and dir_mode (specified at mount time) to be enforced
275locally (the server already enforced its own ACLs too) for servers
276that do not report the correct mode (do not support the
277CIFS Unix Extensions).
278
279Version 1.07
280------------
281Fix some small memory leaks in some unmount error paths. Fix major leak
282of cache pages in readpages causing multiple read oriented stress
283testcases (including fsx, and even large file copy) to fail over time.
284
285Version 1.06
286------------
287Send NTCreateX with ATTR_POSIX if Linux/Unix extensions negotiated with server.
288This allows files that differ only in case and improves performance of file
289creation and file open to such servers. Fix semaphore conflict which causes
290slow delete of open file to Samba (which unfortunately can cause an oplock
291break to self while vfs_unlink held i_sem) which can hang for 20 seconds.
292
293Version 1.05
294------------
295fixes to cifs_readpages for fsx test case
296
297Version 1.04
298------------
299Fix caching data integrity bug when extending file size especially when no
300oplock on file. Fix spurious logging of valid already parsed mount options
301that are parsed outside of the cifs vfs such as nosuid.
302
303
304Version 1.03
305------------
306Connect to server when port number override not specified, and tcp port
307unitialized. Reset search to restart at correct file when kernel routine
308filldir returns error during large directory searches (readdir).
309
310Version 1.02
311------------
312Fix caching problem when files opened by multiple clients in which
313page cache could contain stale data, and write through did
314not occur often enough while file was still open when read ahead
315(read oplock) not allowed. Treat "sep=" when first mount option
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -0700316as an override of comma as the default separator between mount
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700317options.
318
319Version 1.01
320------------
321Allow passwords longer than 16 bytes. Allow null password string.
322
323Version 1.00
324------------
325Gracefully clean up failed mounts when attempting to mount to servers such as
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -0700326Windows 98 that terminate tcp sessions during protocol negotiation. Handle
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700327embedded commas in mount parsing of passwords.
328
329Version 0.99
330------------
331Invalidate local inode cached pages on oplock break and when last file
332instance is closed so that the client does not continue using stale local
333copy rather than later modified server copy of file. Do not reconnect
334when server drops the tcp session prematurely before negotiate
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -0700335protocol response. Fix oops in reopen_file when dentry freed. Allow
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700336the support for CIFS Unix Extensions to be disabled via proc interface.
337
338Version 0.98
339------------
340Fix hang in commit_write during reconnection of open files under heavy load.
341Fix unload_nls oops in a mount failure path. Serialize writes to same socket
342which also fixes any possible races when cifs signatures are enabled in SMBs
343being sent out of signature sequence number order.
344
345Version 0.97
346------------
347Fix byte range locking bug (endian problem) causing bad offset and
348length.
349
350Version 0.96
351------------
352Fix oops (in send_sig) caused by CIFS unmount code trying to
353wake up the demultiplex thread after it had exited. Do not log
354error on harmless oplock release of closed handle.
355
356Version 0.95
357------------
358Fix unsafe global variable usage and password hash failure on gcc 3.3.1

360failure. Fix invalid dentry - race in mkdir when directory gets created
361by another client between the lookup and mkdir.
362
363Version 0.94
364------------
365Fix to list processing in reopen_files. Fix reconnection when server hung
366but tcpip session still alive. Set proper timeout on socket read.
367
368Version 0.93
369------------
370Add missing mount options including iocharset. SMP fixes in write and open.
371Fix errors in reconnecting after TCP session failure. Fix module unloading
372of default nls codepage
373

395
396Version 0.88
397------------
398Fix non-POSIX behavior on rename of open file and delete of open file by taking
399advantage of trans2 SetFileInfo rename facility if available on target server.
400Retry on ENOSPC and EAGAIN socket errors.
401
402Version 0.87
403------------
404Fix oops on big endian readdir. Set blksize to be even power of two (2**blkbits) to fix

415during auto reconnection to server after server recovered from failure.
416
417Version 0.84
418------------
419Finish support for Linux 2.5 open/create changes, which removes the
420redundant NTCreate/QPathInfo/close that was sent during file create.
421Enable oplock by default. Enable packet signing by default (needed to
422access many recent Windows servers)
423
424Version 0.83
425------------
426Fix oops when mounting to long server names caused by inverted parms to kmalloc.
427Fix MultiuserMount (/proc/fs/cifs configuration setting) so that when enabled
428we will choose a cifs user session (smb uid) that better matches the local
429uid if a) the mount uid does not match the current uid and b) we have another
430session to the same server (ip address) for a different mount which
431matches the current local uid.
432

434------------
435Add support for mknod of block or character devices. Fix oplock
436code (distributed caching) to properly send response to oplock
437break from server.
438
439Version 0.81
440------------
441Finish up CIFS packet digital signing for the default
442NTLM security case. This should help Windows 2003
443network interoperability since it is common for
444packet signing to be required now. Fix statfs (stat -f)
445which recently started returning errors due to
446invalid value (-1 instead of 0) being set in the
447struct kstatfs f_ffiles field.
448
449Version 0.80
450-----------
451Fix oops on stopping oplock thread when removing cifs when
452built as module.
453
454Version 0.79
455------------

466They are the network equivalent. Fix oops in
467cifs_partialpagewrite caused by missing spinlock protection
468of openfile linked list. Allow writebehind caching errors to
469be returned to the application at file close.
470
471Version 0.76
472------------
473Clean up options displayed in /proc/mounts by show_options to
474be more consistent with other filesystems.
475
476Version 0.75
477------------

482servers supporting CIFS Unix extensions (caused by
483incorrect resume key).
484
485Version 0.74
486------------

509mount). Add support for overriding rsize at mount time.
510
511Version 0.69
512------------
513Fix buffer overrun in readdir which caused intermittent kernel oopses.
514Fix writepage code to release kmap on write data. Allow "-ip=" new
515mount option to be passed in on parameter distinct from the first part
516(server name portion of) the UNC name. Allow override of the
517tcp port of the target server via new mount option "-port="
518
519Version 0.68
520------------
521Fix search handle leak on rewind. Fix setuid and gid so that they are
522reflected in the local inode immediately. Cleanup of whitespace
523to make 2.4 and 2.5 versions more consistent.
524
525
526Version 0.67
527------------
528Fix signal sending so that captive thread (cifsd) exits on umount
529(which was causing the warning in kmem_cache_free of the request buffers
530at rmmod time). This had broken as a sideeffect of the recent global
531kernel change to daemonize. Fix memory leak in readdir code which
532showed up in "ls -R" (and applications that did search rewinding).
533
534Version 0.66
535------------
536Reconnect tids and fids after session reconnection (still do not
537reconnect byte range locks though). Fix problem caching
538lookup information for directory inodes, improving performance,
539especially in deep directory trees. Fix various build warnings.
540
541Version 0.65
542------------

550fail to Windows servers. Cleaned up some extraneous error logging in
551common error paths. Add generic sendfile support.
552
553Version 0.63
554------------
555Fix memory leak in AllocMidQEntry.
556Finish reconnection logic, so connection with server can be dropped
557(or server rebooted) and the cifs client will reconnect.
558
559Version 0.62
560------------
561Fix temporary socket leak when bad userid or password specified
562(or other SMBSessSetup failure). Increase maximum buffer size to slightly
563over 16K to allow negotiation of up to Samba and Windows server default read
564sizes. Add support for readpages
565
566Version 0.61
567------------
568Fix oops when username not passed in on mount. Extensive fixes and improvements
569to error logging (strip redundant newlines, change debug macros to ensure newline
570passed in and to be more consistent). Fix writepage wrong file handle problem,
571a readonly file handle could be incorrectly used to attempt to write out
572file updates through the page cache to multiply open files. This could cause
573the iozone benchmark to fail on the fwrite test. Fix bug mounting two different
574shares to the same Windows server when using different usernames
575(doing this to Samba servers worked but Windows was rejecting it) - now it is
576possible to use different userids when connecting to the same server from a
577Linux client. Fix oops when treeDisconnect called during unmount on
578previously freed socket.
579
580Version 0.60

592Changed read and write to go through pagecache. Added additional address space operations.
593Memory mapped operations now working.
594
595Version 0.57
596------------
597Added writepage code for additional memory mapping support. Fixed leak in xids causing
598the simultaneous operations counter (/proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps) to increase on
599every stat call. Additional formatting cleanup.
600
601Version 0.56

673
674Version 0.41
675------------
676Various minor fixes for Connectathon Posix "basic" file i/o test suite. Directory caching fixed so hardlinked
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -0700677files now return the correct number of links on fstat as they are repeatedly linked and unlinked.

705
706Version 0.34
707------------
708Fixed dentry caching bug, misc. cleanup
709
710Version 0.33
711------------
712Fixed 2.5 support to handle build and configure changes as well as misc. 2.5 changes. Now can build
713on current 2.5 beta version (2.5.24) of the Linux kernel as well as on 2.4 Linux kernels.

721
722Version 0.31
723------------
7241) Fixed lockrange to be correct (it was one byte too short)
725
7262) Fixed GETLK (i.e. the fcntl call to test a range of bytes in a file to see if locked) to correctly
727show range as locked when there is a conflict with an existing lock.
728
7293) default file perms are now 2767 (indicating support for mandatory locks) instead of 777 for directories
730in most cases. Eventually will offer optional ability to query server for the correct perms.
731
7323) Fixed eventual trap when mounting twice to different shares on the same server when the first succeeded
733but the second one was invalid and failed (the second one was incorrectly disconnecting the tcp and smb
734session)
735
7364) Fixed error logging of valid mount options
737
7385) Removed logging of password field.
739
7406) Moved negotiate, treeDisconnect and uloggoffX (only tConx and SessSetup remain in connect.c) to cifssmb.c
741and cleaned them up and made them more consistent with other cifs functions.
742
7437) Server support for Unix extensions is now fully detected and FindFirst is implemented both ways
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -0700744(with or without Unix extensions) but FindNext and QueryPathInfo with the Unix extensions are not completed,
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700745nor is the symlink support using the Unix extensions
