Steve French23e7dd72005-10-20 13:44:56 -07001Version 1.39
2------------
3Defer close of a file handle slightly if pending writes depend on that file handle
4(this reduces the EBADF bad file handle errors that can be logged under heavy
5stress on writes).
6
Steve French190fdeb2005-10-10 11:48:26 -07007Version 1.38
8------------
9Fix tcp socket retransmission timeouts (e.g. on ENOSPACE from the socket)
10to be smaller at first (but increasing) so large write performance performance
11over GigE is better. Do not hang thread on illegal byte range lock response
12from Windows (Windows can send an RFC1001 size which does not match smb size) by
13allowing an SMBs TCP length to be up to a few bytes longer than it should be.
14wsize and rsize can now be larger than negotiated buffer size if server
15supports large readx/writex, even when directio mount flag not specified.
16Write size will in many cases now be 16K instead of 4K which greatly helps
Steve French4ca9c192005-10-10 19:52:13 -070017file copy performance on lightly loaded networks. Fix oops in dnotify
Steve French1047abc2005-10-11 19:58:06 -070018when experimental config flag enabled. Make cifsFYI more granular.
Steve French190fdeb2005-10-10 11:48:26 -070019
Steve Frencheafe8702005-09-15 21:47:30 -070020Version 1.37
21------------
22Fix readdir caching when unlink removes file in current search buffer,
23and this is followed by a rewind search to just before the deleted entry.
Steve Frenche30dcf32005-09-20 20:49:16 -070024Do not attempt to set ctime unless atime and/or mtime change requested
Steve French20962432005-09-21 22:05:57 -070025(most servers throw it away anyway). Fix length check of received smbs
Steve French70ca7342005-09-22 16:32:06 -070026to be more accurate. Fix big endian problem with mapchars mount option,
27and with a field returned by statfs.
Steve Frencheafe8702005-09-15 21:47:30 -070028
Steve Frenchc46fa8a2005-08-18 20:49:57 -070029Version 1.36
30------------
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -070031Add support for mounting to older pre-CIFS servers such as Windows9x and ME.
Steve French6b8edfe2005-08-23 20:26:03 -070032For these older servers, add option for passing netbios name of server in
Steve French16abbec2005-08-30 13:10:14 -070033on mount (servernetbiosname). Add suspend support for power management, to
34avoid cifsd thread preventing software suspend from working.
Steve Frenchc46fa8a2005-08-18 20:49:57 -070035Add mount option for disabling the default behavior of sending byte range lock
36requests to the server (necessary for certain applications which break with
37mandatory lock behavior such as Evolution), and also mount option for
38requesting case insensitive matching for path based requests (requesting
39case sensitive is the default).
40
Steve Frenchf4cfd692005-07-14 18:29:02 -050041Version 1.35
42------------
43Add writepage performance improvements. Fix path name conversions
44for long filenames on mounts which were done with "mapchars" mount option
Steve Frencha10faeb22005-08-22 21:38:31 -070045specified. Ensure multiplex ids do not collide. Fix case in which
46rmmod can oops if done soon after last unmount. Fix truncated
47search (readdir) output when resume filename was a long filename.
48Fix filename conversion when mapchars mount option was specified and
49filename was a long filename.
Steve Frenchf4cfd692005-07-14 18:29:02 -050050
Steve French11aa0142005-04-28 22:41:10 -070051Version 1.34
52------------
53Fix error mapping of the TOO_MANY_LINKS (hardlinks) case.
Steve French31ca3bc2005-04-28 22:41:11 -070054Do not oops if root user kills cifs oplock kernel thread or
55kills the cifsd thread (NB: killing the cifs kernel threads is not
56recommended, unmount and rmmod cifs will kill them when they are
Steve French68575472005-04-30 11:10:57 -070057no longer needed). Fix readdir to ASCII servers (ie older servers
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -070058which do not support Unicode) and also require asterisk.
Steve French3079ca62005-06-09 14:44:07 -070059Fix out of memory case in which data could be written one page
60off in the page cache.
Steve French11aa0142005-04-28 22:41:10 -070061
Steve French966ca922005-04-28 22:41:08 -070062Version 1.33
63------------
64Fix caching problem, in which readdir of directory containing a file
65which was cached could cause the file's time stamp to be updated
66without invalidating the readahead data (so we could get stale
67file data on the client for that file even as the server copy changed).
Steve Frenchcd634992005-04-28 22:41:10 -070068Cleanup response processing so cifsd can not loop when abnormally
69terminated.
Steve French966ca922005-04-28 22:41:08 -070070
71
Steve Frenchf654bac2005-04-28 22:41:04 -070072Version 1.32
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070073------------
74Fix oops in ls when Transact2 FindFirst (or FindNext) returns more than one
75transact response for an SMB request and search entry split across two frames.
Steve Frenchf654bac2005-04-28 22:41:04 -070076Add support for lsattr (getting ext2/ext3/reiserfs attr flags from the server)
77as new protocol extensions. Do not send Get/Set calls for POSIX ACLs
78unless server explicitly claims to support them in CIFS Unix extensions
Steve Frenchad009ac2005-04-28 22:41:05 -070079POSIX ACL capability bit. Fix packet signing when multiuser mounting with
Steve Frenchcbe04762005-04-28 22:41:05 -070080different users from the same client to the same server. Fix oops in
Steve French6a0b4822005-04-28 22:41:05 -070081cifs_close. Add mount option for remapping reserved characters in
82filenames (also allow recognizing files with created by SFU which have any
Steve French737b7582005-04-28 22:41:06 -070083of these seven reserved characters, except backslash, to be recognized).
Steve French848f3fc2005-04-28 22:41:07 -070084Fix invalid transact2 message (we were sometimes trying to interpret
Steve French099a58f2005-04-28 22:41:07 -070085oplock breaks as SMB responses). Add ioctl for checking that the
86current uid matches the uid of the mounter (needed by umount.cifs).
87Reduce the number of large buffer allocations in cifs response processing
88(significantly reduces memory pressure under heavy stress with multiple
89processes accessing the same server at the same time).
Steve Frenchf654bac2005-04-28 22:41:04 -070090
91Version 1.31
92------------
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070093Fix updates of DOS attributes and time fields so that files on NT4 servers
94do not get marked delete on close. Display sizes of cifs buffer pools in
95cifs stats. Fix oops in unmount when cifsd thread being killed by
96shutdown. Add generic readv/writev and aio support. Report inode numbers
97consistently in readdir and lookup (when serverino mount option is
98specified use the inode number that the server reports - for both lookup
99and readdir, otherwise by default the locally generated inode number is used
100for inodes created in either path since servers are not always able to
101provide unique inode numbers when exporting multiple volumes from under one
102sharename).
103
104Version 1.30
105------------
106Allow new nouser_xattr mount parm to disable xattr support for user namespace.
107Do not flag user_xattr mount parm in dmesg. Retry failures setting file time
108(mostly affects NT4 servers) by retry with handle based network operation.
109Add new POSIX Query FS Info for returning statfs info more accurately.
110Handle passwords with multiple commas in them.
111
112Version 1.29
113------------
114Fix default mode in sysfs of cifs module parms. Remove old readdir routine.
115Fix capabilities flags for large readx so as to allow reads larger than 64K.
116
117Version 1.28
118------------
119Add module init parm for large SMB buffer size (to allow it to be changed
120from its default of 16K) which is especially useful for large file copy
121when mounting with the directio mount option. Fix oops after
122returning from mount when experimental ExtendedSecurity enabled and
123SpnegoNegotiated returning invalid error. Fix case to retry better when
124peek returns from 1 to 3 bytes on socket which should have more data.
125Fixed path based calls (such as cifs lookup) to handle path names
126longer than 530 (now can handle PATH_MAX). Fix pass through authentication
127from Samba server to DC (Samba required dummy LM password).
128
129Version 1.27
130------------
131Turn off DNOTIFY (directory change notification support) by default
132(unless built with the experimental flag) to fix hang with KDE
133file browser. Fix DNOTIFY flag mappings. Fix hang (in wait_event
134waiting on an SMB response) in SendReceive when session dies but
135reconnects quickly from another task. Add module init parms for
136minimum number of large and small network buffers in the buffer pools,
137and for the maximum number of simultaneous requests.
138
139Version 1.26
140------------
141Add setfacl support to allow setting of ACLs remotely to Samba 3.10 and later
142and other POSIX CIFS compliant servers. Fix error mapping for getfacl
143to EOPNOTSUPP when server does not support posix acls on the wire. Fix
144improperly zeroed buffer in CIFS Unix extensions set times call.
145
146Version 1.25
147------------
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -0700148Fix internationalization problem in cifs readdir with filenames that map to
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700149longer UTF8 strings than the string on the wire was in Unicode. Add workaround
150for readdir to netapp servers. Fix search rewind (seek into readdir to return
151non-consecutive entries). Do not do readdir when server negotiates
152buffer size to small to fit filename. Add support for reading POSIX ACLs from
153the server (add also acl and noacl mount options).
154
155Version 1.24
156------------
157Optionally allow using server side inode numbers, rather than client generated
158ones by specifying mount option "serverino" - this is required for some apps
159to work which double check hardlinked files and have persistent inode numbers.
160
161Version 1.23
162------------
163Multiple bigendian fixes. On little endian systems (for reconnect after
164network failure) fix tcp session reconnect code so we do not try first
165to reconnect on reverse of port 445. Treat reparse points (NTFS junctions)
166as directories rather than symlinks because we can do follow link on them.
167
168Version 1.22
169------------
170Add config option to enable XATTR (extended attribute) support, mapping
171xattr names in the "user." namespace space to SMB/CIFS EAs. Lots of
172minor fixes pointed out by the Stanford SWAT checker (mostly missing
173or out of order NULL pointer checks in little used error paths).
174
175Version 1.21
176------------
177Add new mount parm to control whether mode check (generic_permission) is done
178on the client. If Unix extensions are enabled and the uids on the client
179and server do not match, client permission checks are meaningless on
180server uids that do not exist on the client (this does not affect the
181normal ACL check which occurs on the server). Fix default uid
182on mknod to match create and mkdir. Add optional mount parm to allow
183override of the default uid behavior (in which the server sets the uid
184and gid of newly created files). Normally for network filesystem mounts
185user want the server to set the uid/gid on newly created files (rather than
186using uid of the client processes you would in a local filesystem).
187
188Version 1.20
189------------
190Make transaction counts more consistent. Merge /proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps
191info into /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData. Fix oops in rare oops in readdir
192(in build_wildcard_path_from_dentry). Fix mknod to pass type field
193(block/char/fifo) properly. Remove spurious mount warning log entry when
194credentials passed as mount argument. Set major/minor device number in
195inode for block and char devices when unix extensions enabled.
196
197Version 1.19
198------------
199Fix /proc/fs/cifs/Stats and DebugData display to handle larger
200amounts of return data. Properly limit requests to MAX_REQ (50
201is the usual maximum active multiplex SMB/CIFS requests per server).
202Do not kill cifsd (and thus hurt the other SMB session) when more than one
203session to the same server (but with different userids) exists and one
204of the two user's smb sessions is being removed while leaving the other.
205Do not loop reconnecting in cifsd demultiplex thread when admin
206kills the thread without going through unmount.
207
208Version 1.18
209------------
210Do not rename hardlinked files (since that should be a noop). Flush
211cached write behind data when reopening a file after session abend,
212except when already in write. Grab per socket sem during reconnect
213to avoid oops in sendmsg if overlapping with reconnect. Do not
214reset cached inode file size on readdir for files open for write on
215client.
216
217
218Version 1.17
219------------
220Update number of blocks in file so du command is happier (in Linux a fake
221blocksize of 512 is required for calculating number of blocks in inode).
222Fix prepare write of partial pages to read in data from server if possible.
223Fix race on tcpStatus field between unmount and reconnection code, causing
224cifsd process sometimes to hang around forever. Improve out of memory
225checks in cifs_filldir
226
227Version 1.16
228------------
229Fix incorrect file size in file handle based setattr on big endian hardware.
230Fix oops in build_path_from_dentry when out of memory. Add checks for invalid
231and closing file structs in writepage/partialpagewrite. Add statistics
232for each mounted share (new menuconfig option). Fix endianness problem in
233volume information displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData (only affects
234affects big endian architectures). Prevent renames while constructing
235path names for open, mkdir and rmdir.
236
237Version 1.15
238------------
239Change to mempools for alloc smb request buffers and multiplex structs
240to better handle low memory problems (and potential deadlocks).
241
242Version 1.14
243------------
244Fix incomplete listings of large directories on Samba servers when Unix
245extensions enabled. Fix oops when smb_buffer can not be allocated. Fix
246rename deadlock when writing out dirty pages at same time.
247
248Version 1.13
249------------
250Fix open of files in which O_CREATE can cause the mode to change in
251some cases. Fix case in which retry of write overlaps file close.
252Fix PPC64 build error. Reduce excessive stack usage in smb password
253hashing. Fix overwrite of Linux user's view of file mode to Windows servers.
254
255Version 1.12
256------------
257Fixes for large file copy, signal handling, socket retry, buffer
258allocation and low memory situations.
259
260Version 1.11
261------------
262Better port 139 support to Windows servers (RFC1001/RFC1002 Session_Initialize)
263also now allowing support for specifying client netbiosname. NT4 support added.
264
265Version 1.10
266------------
267Fix reconnection (and certain failed mounts) to properly wake up the
268blocked users thread so it does not seem hung (in some cases was blocked
269until the cifs receive timeout expired). Fix spurious error logging
270to kernel log when application with open network files killed.
271
272Version 1.09
273------------
274Fix /proc/fs module unload warning message (that could be logged
275to the kernel log). Fix intermittent failure in connectathon
276test7 (hardlink count not immediately refreshed in case in which
277inode metadata can be incorrectly kept cached when time near zero)
278
279Version 1.08
280------------
281Allow file_mode and dir_mode (specified at mount time) to be enforced
282locally (the server already enforced its own ACLs too) for servers
283that do not report the correct mode (do not support the
284CIFS Unix Extensions).
285
286Version 1.07
287------------
288Fix some small memory leaks in some unmount error paths. Fix major leak
289of cache pages in readpages causing multiple read oriented stress
290testcases (including fsx, and even large file copy) to fail over time.
291
292Version 1.06
293------------
294Send NTCreateX with ATTR_POSIX if Linux/Unix extensions negotiated with server.
295This allows files that differ only in case and improves performance of file
296creation and file open to such servers. Fix semaphore conflict which causes
297slow delete of open file to Samba (which unfortunately can cause an oplock
298break to self while vfs_unlink held i_sem) which can hang for 20 seconds.
299
300Version 1.05
301------------
302fixes to cifs_readpages for fsx test case
303
304Version 1.04
305------------
306Fix caching data integrity bug when extending file size especially when no
307oplock on file. Fix spurious logging of valid already parsed mount options
308that are parsed outside of the cifs vfs such as nosuid.
309
310
311Version 1.03
312------------
313Connect to server when port number override not specified, and tcp port
314unitialized. Reset search to restart at correct file when kernel routine
315filldir returns error during large directory searches (readdir).
316
317Version 1.02
318------------
319Fix caching problem when files opened by multiple clients in which
320page cache could contain stale data, and write through did
321not occur often enough while file was still open when read ahead
322(read oplock) not allowed. Treat "sep=" when first mount option
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -0700323as an override of comma as the default separator between mount
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700324options.
325
326Version 1.01
327------------
328Allow passwords longer than 16 bytes. Allow null password string.
329
330Version 1.00
331------------
332Gracefully clean up failed mounts when attempting to mount to servers such as
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -0700333Windows 98 that terminate tcp sessions during protocol negotiation. Handle
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700334embedded commas in mount parsing of passwords.
335
336Version 0.99
337------------
338Invalidate local inode cached pages on oplock break and when last file
339instance is closed so that the client does not continue using stale local
340copy rather than later modified server copy of file. Do not reconnect
341when server drops the tcp session prematurely before negotiate
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -0700342protocol response. Fix oops in reopen_file when dentry freed. Allow
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700343the support for CIFS Unix Extensions to be disabled via proc interface.
344
345Version 0.98
346------------
347Fix hang in commit_write during reconnection of open files under heavy load.
348Fix unload_nls oops in a mount failure path. Serialize writes to same socket
349which also fixes any possible races when cifs signatures are enabled in SMBs
350being sent out of signature sequence number order.

352Version 0.97
353------------
354Fix byte range locking bug (endian problem) causing bad offset and
355length.
356
357Version 0.96
358------------
359Fix oops (in send_sig) caused by CIFS unmount code trying to

363Version 0.95
364------------
365Fix unsafe global variable usage and password hash failure on gcc 3.3.1

368by another client between the lookup and mkdir.
369
370Version 0.94
371------------
372Fix to list processing in reopen_files. Fix reconnection when server hung
373but tcpip session still alive. Set proper timeout on socket read.
374
375Version 0.93

407Retry on ENOSPC and EAGAIN socket errors.
408
409Version 0.87
410------------
411Fix oops on big endian readdir. Set blksize to be even power of two (2**blkbits) to fix

428Enable oplock by default. Enable packet signing by default (needed to
429access many recent Windows servers)
430
431Version 0.83
432------------
433Fix oops when mounting to long server names caused by inverted parms to kmalloc.
434Fix MultiuserMount (/proc/fs/cifs configuration setting) so that when enabled
435we will choose a cifs user session (smb uid) that better matches the local
436uid if a) the mount uid does not match the current uid and b) we have another
437session to the same server (ip address) for a different mount which
438matches the current local uid.
439

447------------
448Finish up CIFS packet digital signing for the default
449NTLM security case. This should help Windows 2003
450network interoperability since it is common for
451packet signing to be required now. Fix statfs (stat -f)
452which recently started returning errors due to
453invalid value (-1 instead of 0) being set in the
454struct kstatfs f_ffiles field.

472Fix display of NTFS DFS junctions to display as symlinks.
473They are the network equivalent. Fix oops in
474cifs_partialpagewrite caused by missing spinlock protection
475of openfile linked list. Allow writebehind caching errors to
476be returned to the application at file close.
477
478Version 0.76
479------------
480Clean up options displayed in /proc/mounts by show_options to
481be more consistent with other filesystems.
482
483Version 0.75

486presence or absence of read only dos attribute in mode
487bits for servers that do not support CIFS Unix extensions.
488Fix shortened results on readdir of large directories to
489servers supporting CIFS Unix extensions (caused by
490incorrect resume key).
491
492Version 0.74
493------------

511symlink routines.
512
513Version 0.70
514------------
515Fix oops in get dfs referral (triggered when null path sent in to
516mount). Add support for overriding rsize at mount time.
517
518Version 0.69
519------------
520Fix buffer overrun in readdir which caused intermittent kernel oopses.
521Fix writepage code to release kmap on write data. Allow "-ip=" new
522mount option to be passed in on parameter distinct from the first part
523(server name portion of) the UNC name. Allow override of the
524tcp port of the target server via new mount option "-port="
525
526Version 0.68
527------------
528Fix search handle leak on rewind. Fix setuid and gid so that they are
529reflected in the local inode immediately. Cleanup of whitespace
530to make 2.4 and 2.5 versions more consistent.
531
532
533Version 0.67
534------------
535Fix signal sending so that captive thread (cifsd) exits on umount
536(which was causing the warning in kmem_cache_free of the request buffers
537at rmmod time). This had broken as a sideeffect of the recent global
538kernel change to daemonize. Fix memory leak in readdir code which
539showed up in "ls -R" (and applications that did search rewinding).
540
541Version 0.66
542------------
543Reconnect tids and fids after session reconnection (still do not
544reconnect byte range locks though). Fix problem caching

546especially in deep directory trees. Fix various build warnings.
547
548Version 0.65
549------------

552was interrupted by a signal.
553
554Version 0.64
555------------
556Fix data corruption (in partial page after truncate) that caused fsx to
557fail to Windows servers. Cleaned up some extraneous error logging in
558common error paths. Add generic sendfile support.
559
560Version 0.63
561------------
562Fix memory leak in AllocMidQEntry.
563Finish reconnection logic, so connection with server can be dropped
564(or server rebooted) and the cifs client will reconnect.
565
566Version 0.62
567------------
568Fix temporary socket leak when bad userid or password specified
569(or other SMBSessSetup failure). Increase maximum buffer size to slightly
570over 16K to allow negotiation of up to Samba and Windows server default read
571sizes. Add support for readpages
572
573Version 0.61
574------------
575Fix oops when username not passed in on mount. Extensive fixes and improvements
576to error logging (strip redundant newlines, change debug macros to ensure newline
577passed in and to be more consistent). Fix writepage wrong file handle problem,
578a readonly file handle could be incorrectly used to attempt to write out
579file updates through the page cache to multiply open files. This could cause
580the iozone benchmark to fail on the fwrite test. Fix bug mounting two different
581shares to the same Windows server when using different usernames
582(doing this to Samba servers worked but Windows was rejecting it) - now it is
583possible to use different userids when connecting to the same server from a
584Linux client. Fix oops when treeDisconnect called during unmount on
585previously freed socket.
586
587Version 0.60

599Changed read and write to go through pagecache. Added additional address space operations.
600Memory mapped operations now working.
601
602Version 0.57
603------------
604Added writepage code for additional memory mapping support. Fixed leak in xids causing
605the simultaneous operations counter (/proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps) to increase on
606every stat call. Additional formatting cleanup.
607
608Version 0.56
609------------

680
681Version 0.41
682------------
683Various minor fixes for Connectathon Posix "basic" file i/o test suite. Directory caching fixed so hardlinked

712
713Version 0.34
714------------
715Fixed dentry caching bug, misc. cleanup
716
717Version 0.33
718------------
719Fixed 2.5 support to handle build and configure changes as well as misc. 2.5 changes. Now can build
720on current 2.5 beta version (2.5.24) of the Linux kernel as well as on 2.4 Linux kernels.

728
729Version 0.31
730------------
7311) Fixed lockrange to be correct (it was one byte too short)
732
7332) Fixed GETLK (i.e. the fcntl call to test a range of bytes in a file to see if locked) to correctly
734show range as locked when there is a conflict with an existing lock.
735
7363) default file perms are now 2767 (indicating support for mandatory locks) instead of 777 for directories
737in most cases. Eventually will offer optional ability to query server for the correct perms.
738
7393) Fixed eventual trap when mounting twice to different shares on the same server when the first succeeded
740but the second one was invalid and failed (the second one was incorrectly disconnecting the tcp and smb
741session)
742
7434) Fixed error logging of valid mount options
744
7455) Removed logging of password field.
746
7476) Moved negotiate, treeDisconnect and uloggoffX (only tConx and SessSetup remain in connect.c) to cifssmb.c
748and cleaned them up and made them more consistent with other cifs functions.
749
7507) Server support for Unix extensions is now fully detected and FindFirst is implemented both ways
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -0700751(with or without Unix extensions) but FindNext and QueryPathInfo with the Unix extensions are not completed,
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700752nor is the symlink support using the Unix extensions
