Steve Frencheafe8702005-09-15 21:47:30 -07001Version 1.37
2------------
3Fix readdir caching when unlink removes file in current search buffer,
4and this is followed by a rewind search to just before the deleted entry.
Steve Frenche30dcf32005-09-20 20:49:16 -07005Do not attempt to set ctime unless atime and/or mtime change requested
6(most servers throw it away anyway).

Steve Frenchc46fa8a2005-08-18 20:49:57 -07008Version 1.36
9------------
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -070010Add support for mounting to older pre-CIFS servers such as Windows9x and ME.
Steve French6b8edfe2005-08-23 20:26:03 -070011For these older servers, add option for passing netbios name of server in
Steve French16abbec2005-08-30 13:10:14 -070012on mount (servernetbiosname). Add suspend support for power management, to
13avoid cifsd thread preventing software suspend from working.
Steve Frenchc46fa8a2005-08-18 20:49:57 -070014Add mount option for disabling the default behavior of sending byte range lock
15requests to the server (necessary for certain applications which break with
16mandatory lock behavior such as Evolution), and also mount option for
17requesting case insensitive matching for path based requests (requesting
18case sensitive is the default).
19
Steve Frenchf4cfd692005-07-14 18:29:02 -050020Version 1.35
21------------
22Add writepage performance improvements. Fix path name conversions
23for long filenames on mounts which were done with "mapchars" mount option
Steve Frencha10faeb22005-08-22 21:38:31 -070024specified. Ensure multiplex ids do not collide. Fix case in which
25rmmod can oops if done soon after last unmount. Fix truncated
26search (readdir) output when resume filename was a long filename.
27Fix filename conversion when mapchars mount option was specified and
28filename was a long filename.
Steve Frenchf4cfd692005-07-14 18:29:02 -050029
Steve French11aa0142005-04-28 22:41:10 -070030Version 1.34
31------------
32Fix error mapping of the TOO_MANY_LINKS (hardlinks) case.
Steve French31ca3bc2005-04-28 22:41:11 -070033Do not oops if root user kills cifs oplock kernel thread or
34kills the cifsd thread (NB: killing the cifs kernel threads is not
35recommended, unmount and rmmod cifs will kill them when they are
Steve French68575472005-04-30 11:10:57 -070036no longer needed). Fix readdir to ASCII servers (ie older servers
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -070037which do not support Unicode) and also require asterisk.
Steve French3079ca62005-06-09 14:44:07 -070038Fix out of memory case in which data could be written one page
39off in the page cache.
Steve French11aa0142005-04-28 22:41:10 -070040
Steve French966ca922005-04-28 22:41:08 -070041Version 1.33
42------------
43Fix caching problem, in which readdir of directory containing a file
44which was cached could cause the file's time stamp to be updated
45without invalidating the readahead data (so we could get stale
46file data on the client for that file even as the server copy changed).
Steve Frenchcd634992005-04-28 22:41:10 -070047Cleanup response processing so cifsd can not loop when abnormally
48terminated.
Steve French966ca922005-04-28 22:41:08 -070049
50
Steve Frenchf654bac2005-04-28 22:41:04 -070051Version 1.32
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070052------------
53Fix oops in ls when Transact2 FindFirst (or FindNext) returns more than one
54transact response for an SMB request and search entry split across two frames.
Steve Frenchf654bac2005-04-28 22:41:04 -070055Add support for lsattr (getting ext2/ext3/reiserfs attr flags from the server)
56as new protocol extensions. Do not send Get/Set calls for POSIX ACLs
57unless server explicitly claims to support them in CIFS Unix extensions
Steve Frenchad009ac2005-04-28 22:41:05 -070058POSIX ACL capability bit. Fix packet signing when multiuser mounting with
Steve Frenchcbe04762005-04-28 22:41:05 -070059different users from the same client to the same server. Fix oops in
Steve French6a0b4822005-04-28 22:41:05 -070060cifs_close. Add mount option for remapping reserved characters in
61filenames (also allow recognizing files with created by SFU which have any
Steve French737b7582005-04-28 22:41:06 -070062of these seven reserved characters, except backslash, to be recognized).
Steve French848f3fc2005-04-28 22:41:07 -070063Fix invalid transact2 message (we were sometimes trying to interpret
Steve French099a58f2005-04-28 22:41:07 -070064oplock breaks as SMB responses). Add ioctl for checking that the
65current uid matches the uid of the mounter (needed by umount.cifs).
66Reduce the number of large buffer allocations in cifs response processing
67(significantly reduces memory pressure under heavy stress with multiple
68processes accessing the same server at the same time).
Steve Frenchf654bac2005-04-28 22:41:04 -070069
70Version 1.31
71------------
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070072Fix updates of DOS attributes and time fields so that files on NT4 servers
73do not get marked delete on close. Display sizes of cifs buffer pools in
74cifs stats. Fix oops in unmount when cifsd thread being killed by
75shutdown. Add generic readv/writev and aio support. Report inode numbers
76consistently in readdir and lookup (when serverino mount option is
77specified use the inode number that the server reports - for both lookup
78and readdir, otherwise by default the locally generated inode number is used
79for inodes created in either path since servers are not always able to
80provide unique inode numbers when exporting multiple volumes from under one
81sharename).
82
83Version 1.30
84------------
85Allow new nouser_xattr mount parm to disable xattr support for user namespace.
86Do not flag user_xattr mount parm in dmesg. Retry failures setting file time
87(mostly affects NT4 servers) by retry with handle based network operation.
88Add new POSIX Query FS Info for returning statfs info more accurately.
89Handle passwords with multiple commas in them.
90
91Version 1.29
92------------
93Fix default mode in sysfs of cifs module parms. Remove old readdir routine.
94Fix capabilities flags for large readx so as to allow reads larger than 64K.
95
96Version 1.28
97------------
98Add module init parm for large SMB buffer size (to allow it to be changed
99from its default of 16K) which is especially useful for large file copy
100when mounting with the directio mount option. Fix oops after
101returning from mount when experimental ExtendedSecurity enabled and
102SpnegoNegotiated returning invalid error. Fix case to retry better when
103peek returns from 1 to 3 bytes on socket which should have more data.
104Fixed path based calls (such as cifs lookup) to handle path names
105longer than 530 (now can handle PATH_MAX). Fix pass through authentication
106from Samba server to DC (Samba required dummy LM password).
107
108Version 1.27
109------------
110Turn off DNOTIFY (directory change notification support) by default
111(unless built with the experimental flag) to fix hang with KDE
112file browser. Fix DNOTIFY flag mappings. Fix hang (in wait_event
113waiting on an SMB response) in SendReceive when session dies but
114reconnects quickly from another task. Add module init parms for
115minimum number of large and small network buffers in the buffer pools,
116and for the maximum number of simultaneous requests.
117
118Version 1.26
119------------
120Add setfacl support to allow setting of ACLs remotely to Samba 3.10 and later
121and other POSIX CIFS compliant servers. Fix error mapping for getfacl
122to EOPNOTSUPP when server does not support posix acls on the wire. Fix
123improperly zeroed buffer in CIFS Unix extensions set times call.
124
125Version 1.25
126------------
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -0700127Fix internationalization problem in cifs readdir with filenames that map to
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700128longer UTF8 strings than the string on the wire was in Unicode. Add workaround
129for readdir to netapp servers. Fix search rewind (seek into readdir to return
130non-consecutive entries). Do not do readdir when server negotiates
131buffer size to small to fit filename. Add support for reading POSIX ACLs from
132the server (add also acl and noacl mount options).
133
134Version 1.24
135------------
136Optionally allow using server side inode numbers, rather than client generated
137ones by specifying mount option "serverino" - this is required for some apps
138to work which double check hardlinked files and have persistent inode numbers.
139
140Version 1.23
141------------
142Multiple bigendian fixes. On little endian systems (for reconnect after
143network failure) fix tcp session reconnect code so we do not try first
144to reconnect on reverse of port 445. Treat reparse points (NTFS junctions)
145as directories rather than symlinks because we can do follow link on them.
146
147Version 1.22
148------------
149Add config option to enable XATTR (extended attribute) support, mapping
150xattr names in the "user." namespace space to SMB/CIFS EAs. Lots of
151minor fixes pointed out by the Stanford SWAT checker (mostly missing
152or out of order NULL pointer checks in little used error paths).
153
154Version 1.21
155------------
156Add new mount parm to control whether mode check (generic_permission) is done
157on the client. If Unix extensions are enabled and the uids on the client
158and server do not match, client permission checks are meaningless on
159server uids that do not exist on the client (this does not affect the
160normal ACL check which occurs on the server). Fix default uid
161on mknod to match create and mkdir. Add optional mount parm to allow
162override of the default uid behavior (in which the server sets the uid
163and gid of newly created files). Normally for network filesystem mounts
164user want the server to set the uid/gid on newly created files (rather than
165using uid of the client processes you would in a local filesystem).
166
167Version 1.20
168------------
169Make transaction counts more consistent. Merge /proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps
170info into /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData. Fix oops in rare oops in readdir
171(in build_wildcard_path_from_dentry). Fix mknod to pass type field
172(block/char/fifo) properly. Remove spurious mount warning log entry when
173credentials passed as mount argument. Set major/minor device number in
174inode for block and char devices when unix extensions enabled.
175
176Version 1.19
177------------
178Fix /proc/fs/cifs/Stats and DebugData display to handle larger
179amounts of return data. Properly limit requests to MAX_REQ (50
180is the usual maximum active multiplex SMB/CIFS requests per server).
181Do not kill cifsd (and thus hurt the other SMB session) when more than one
182session to the same server (but with different userids) exists and one
183of the two user's smb sessions is being removed while leaving the other.
184Do not loop reconnecting in cifsd demultiplex thread when admin
185kills the thread without going through unmount.
186
187Version 1.18
188------------
189Do not rename hardlinked files (since that should be a noop). Flush
190cached write behind data when reopening a file after session abend,
191except when already in write. Grab per socket sem during reconnect
192to avoid oops in sendmsg if overlapping with reconnect. Do not
193reset cached inode file size on readdir for files open for write on
194client.
195
196
197Version 1.17
198------------
199Update number of blocks in file so du command is happier (in Linux a fake
200blocksize of 512 is required for calculating number of blocks in inode).
201Fix prepare write of partial pages to read in data from server if possible.
202Fix race on tcpStatus field between unmount and reconnection code, causing
203cifsd process sometimes to hang around forever. Improve out of memory
204checks in cifs_filldir
205
206Version 1.16
207------------
208Fix incorrect file size in file handle based setattr on big endian hardware.
209Fix oops in build_path_from_dentry when out of memory. Add checks for invalid
210and closing file structs in writepage/partialpagewrite. Add statistics
211for each mounted share (new menuconfig option). Fix endianness problem in
212volume information displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData (only affects
213affects big endian architectures). Prevent renames while constructing
214path names for open, mkdir and rmdir.
215
216Version 1.15
217------------
218Change to mempools for alloc smb request buffers and multiplex structs
219to better handle low memory problems (and potential deadlocks).
220
221Version 1.14
222------------
223Fix incomplete listings of large directories on Samba servers when Unix
224extensions enabled. Fix oops when smb_buffer can not be allocated. Fix
225rename deadlock when writing out dirty pages at same time.
226
227Version 1.13
228------------
229Fix open of files in which O_CREATE can cause the mode to change in
230some cases. Fix case in which retry of write overlaps file close.
231Fix PPC64 build error. Reduce excessive stack usage in smb password
232hashing. Fix overwrite of Linux user's view of file mode to Windows servers.
233
234Version 1.12
235------------
236Fixes for large file copy, signal handling, socket retry, buffer
237allocation and low memory situations.
238
239Version 1.11
240------------
241Better port 139 support to Windows servers (RFC1001/RFC1002 Session_Initialize)
242also now allowing support for specifying client netbiosname. NT4 support added.
243
244Version 1.10
245------------
246Fix reconnection (and certain failed mounts) to properly wake up the
247blocked users thread so it does not seem hung (in some cases was blocked
248until the cifs receive timeout expired). Fix spurious error logging
249to kernel log when application with open network files killed.
250
251Version 1.09
252------------
253Fix /proc/fs module unload warning message (that could be logged
254to the kernel log). Fix intermittent failure in connectathon
255test7 (hardlink count not immediately refreshed in case in which
256inode metadata can be incorrectly kept cached when time near zero)
257
258Version 1.08
259------------
260Allow file_mode and dir_mode (specified at mount time) to be enforced
261locally (the server already enforced its own ACLs too) for servers
262that do not report the correct mode (do not support the
263CIFS Unix Extensions).
264
265Version 1.07
266------------
267Fix some small memory leaks in some unmount error paths. Fix major leak
268of cache pages in readpages causing multiple read oriented stress
269testcases (including fsx, and even large file copy) to fail over time.
270
271Version 1.06
272------------
273Send NTCreateX with ATTR_POSIX if Linux/Unix extensions negotiated with server.
274This allows files that differ only in case and improves performance of file
275creation and file open to such servers. Fix semaphore conflict which causes
276slow delete of open file to Samba (which unfortunately can cause an oplock
277break to self while vfs_unlink held i_sem) which can hang for 20 seconds.
278
279Version 1.05
280------------
281fixes to cifs_readpages for fsx test case
282
283Version 1.04
284------------
285Fix caching data integrity bug when extending file size especially when no
286oplock on file. Fix spurious logging of valid already parsed mount options
287that are parsed outside of the cifs vfs such as nosuid.
288
289
290Version 1.03
291------------
292Connect to server when port number override not specified, and tcp port
293unitialized. Reset search to restart at correct file when kernel routine
294filldir returns error during large directory searches (readdir).
295
296Version 1.02
297------------
298Fix caching problem when files opened by multiple clients in which
299page cache could contain stale data, and write through did
300not occur often enough while file was still open when read ahead
301(read oplock) not allowed. Treat "sep=" when first mount option
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -0700302as an override of comma as the default separator between mount
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700303options.
304
305Version 1.01
306------------
307Allow passwords longer than 16 bytes. Allow null password string.
308
309Version 1.00
310------------
311Gracefully clean up failed mounts when attempting to mount to servers such as
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -0700312Windows 98 that terminate tcp sessions during protocol negotiation. Handle
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700313embedded commas in mount parsing of passwords.
314
315Version 0.99
316------------
317Invalidate local inode cached pages on oplock break and when last file
318instance is closed so that the client does not continue using stale local
319copy rather than later modified server copy of file. Do not reconnect
320when server drops the tcp session prematurely before negotiate
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -0700321protocol response. Fix oops in reopen_file when dentry freed. Allow
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700322the support for CIFS Unix Extensions to be disabled via proc interface.
323
324Version 0.98
325------------
326Fix hang in commit_write during reconnection of open files under heavy load.
327Fix unload_nls oops in a mount failure path. Serialize writes to same socket
328which also fixes any possible races when cifs signatures are enabled in SMBs
329being sent out of signature sequence number order.

331Version 0.97
332------------
333Fix byte range locking bug (endian problem) causing bad offset and
334length.
335
336Version 0.96
337------------
338Fix oops (in send_sig) caused by CIFS unmount code trying to

342Version 0.95
343------------
344Fix unsafe global variable usage and password hash failure on gcc 3.3.1

348
349Version 0.94
350------------
351Fix to list processing in reopen_files. Fix reconnection when server hung
352but tcpip session still alive. Set proper timeout on socket read.
353
354Version 0.93
355------------
356Add missing mount options including iocharset. SMP fixes in write and open.
357Fix errors in reconnecting after TCP session failure. Fix module unloading
358of default nls codepage
359
360Version 0.92

386Retry on ENOSPC and EAGAIN socket errors.
387
388Version 0.87
389------------
390Fix oops on big endian readdir. Set blksize to be even power of two (2**blkbits) to fix

405Finish support for Linux 2.5 open/create changes, which removes the
406redundant NTCreate/QPathInfo/close that was sent during file create.
407Enable oplock by default. Enable packet signing by default (needed to
408access many recent Windows servers)
409
410Version 0.83
411------------
412Fix oops when mounting to long server names caused by inverted parms to kmalloc.
413Fix MultiuserMount (/proc/fs/cifs configuration setting) so that when enabled
414we will choose a cifs user session (smb uid) that better matches the local
415uid if a) the mount uid does not match the current uid and b) we have another
416session to the same server (ip address) for a different mount which
417matches the current local uid.
418

420------------
421Add support for mknod of block or character devices. Fix oplock
422code (distributed caching) to properly send response to oplock
423break from server.
424
425Version 0.81
426------------
427Finish up CIFS packet digital signing for the default
428NTLM security case. This should help Windows 2003
429network interoperability since it is common for
430packet signing to be required now. Fix statfs (stat -f)
431which recently started returning errors due to
432invalid value (-1 instead of 0) being set in the
433struct kstatfs f_ffiles field.
434
435Version 0.80
436-----------
437Fix oops on stopping oplock thread when removing cifs when
438built as module.
439
440Version 0.79
441------------
442Fix mount options for ro (readonly), uid, gid and file and directory mode.
443
444Version 0.78
445------------
446Fix errors displayed on failed mounts to be more understandable.
447Fixed various incorrect or misleading smb to posix error code mappings.
448
449Version 0.77
450------------
451Fix display of NTFS DFS junctions to display as symlinks.
452They are the network equivalent. Fix oops in
453cifs_partialpagewrite caused by missing spinlock protection
454of openfile linked list. Allow writebehind caching errors to
455be returned to the application at file close.
456
457Version 0.76
458------------
459Clean up options displayed in /proc/mounts by show_options to
460be more consistent with other filesystems.
461
462Version 0.75
463------------

465presence or absence of read only dos attribute in mode
466bits for servers that do not support CIFS Unix extensions.
467Fix shortened results on readdir of large directories to
468servers supporting CIFS Unix extensions (caused by
469incorrect resume key).
470
471Version 0.74
472------------

477unload nls if mount fails.
478
479Version 0.72

481Add resume key support to search (readdir) code to workaround
482Windows bug. Add /proc/fs/cifs/LookupCacheEnable which
483allows disabling caching of attribute information for
484lookups.
485
486Version 0.71
487------------
488Add more oplock handling (distributed caching code). Remove
489dead code. Remove excessive stack space utilization from
490symlink routines.
491
492Version 0.70
493------------
494Fix oops in get dfs referral (triggered when null path sent in to
495mount). Add support for overriding rsize at mount time.
496
497Version 0.69
498------------
499Fix buffer overrun in readdir which caused intermittent kernel oopses.
500Fix writepage code to release kmap on write data. Allow "-ip=" new
501mount option to be passed in on parameter distinct from the first part
502(server name portion of) the UNC name. Allow override of the
503tcp port of the target server via new mount option "-port="
504
505Version 0.68
506------------
507Fix search handle leak on rewind. Fix setuid and gid so that they are
508reflected in the local inode immediately. Cleanup of whitespace
509to make 2.4 and 2.5 versions more consistent.
510
511
512Version 0.67
513------------
514Fix signal sending so that captive thread (cifsd) exits on umount
515(which was causing the warning in kmem_cache_free of the request buffers
516at rmmod time). This had broken as a sideeffect of the recent global
517kernel change to daemonize. Fix memory leak in readdir code which
518showed up in "ls -R" (and applications that did search rewinding).
519
520Version 0.66
521------------
522Reconnect tids and fids after session reconnection (still do not
523reconnect byte range locks though). Fix problem caching
524lookup information for directory inodes, improving performance,
525especially in deep directory trees. Fix various build warnings.
526
527Version 0.65
528------------
529Finish fixes to commit write for caching/readahead consistency. fsx

531was interrupted by a signal.
532
533Version 0.64
534------------
535Fix data corruption (in partial page after truncate) that caused fsx to
536fail to Windows servers. Cleaned up some extraneous error logging in
537common error paths. Add generic sendfile support.
538
539Version 0.63
540------------
541Fix memory leak in AllocMidQEntry.
542Finish reconnection logic, so connection with server can be dropped
543(or server rebooted) and the cifs client will reconnect.
544
545Version 0.62
546------------
547Fix temporary socket leak when bad userid or password specified
548(or other SMBSessSetup failure). Increase maximum buffer size to slightly
549over 16K to allow negotiation of up to Samba and Windows server default read
550sizes. Add support for readpages
551
552Version 0.61
553------------
554Fix oops when username not passed in on mount. Extensive fixes and improvements
555to error logging (strip redundant newlines, change debug macros to ensure newline
556passed in and to be more consistent). Fix writepage wrong file handle problem,
557a readonly file handle could be incorrectly used to attempt to write out
558file updates through the page cache to multiply open files. This could cause
559the iozone benchmark to fail on the fwrite test. Fix bug mounting two different
560shares to the same Windows server when using different usernames
561(doing this to Samba servers worked but Windows was rejecting it) - now it is
562possible to use different userids when connecting to the same server from a
563Linux client. Fix oops when treeDisconnect called during unmount on
564previously freed socket.
565
566Version 0.60

578Changed read and write to go through pagecache. Added additional address space operations.
579Memory mapped operations now working.
580
581Version 0.57
582------------
583Added writepage code for additional memory mapping support. Fixed leak in xids causing
584the simultaneous operations counter (/proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps) to increase on
585every stat call. Additional formatting cleanup.
586
587Version 0.56
588------------
589Fix bigendian bug in order of time conversion. Merge 2.5 to 2.4 version. Formatting cleanup.
590

595the smb session and tree connection and mid related global variables.
596
597Version 0.54
598------------
599Fix problem with captive thread hanging around at unmount time. Adjust to 2.5.42-pre
600changes to superblock layout. Remove wasteful allocation of smb buffers (now the send
601buffer is reused for responses). Add more oplock handling. Additional minor cleanup.
602
603Version 0.53

659
660Version 0.41
661------------
662Various minor fixes for Connectathon Posix "basic" file i/o test suite. Directory caching fixed so hardlinked
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -0700663files now return the correct number of links on fstat as they are repeatedly linked and unlinked.

690although corresponding function not fully implemented in the vfs yet
691
692Version 0.34
693------------
694Fixed dentry caching bug, misc. cleanup
695
696Version 0.33
697------------
698Fixed 2.5 support to handle build and configure changes as well as misc. 2.5 changes. Now can build
699on current 2.5 beta version (2.5.24) of the Linux kernel as well as on 2.4 Linux kernels.

707
708Version 0.31
709------------
7101) Fixed lockrange to be correct (it was one byte too short)
711
7122) Fixed GETLK (i.e. the fcntl call to test a range of bytes in a file to see if locked) to correctly
713show range as locked when there is a conflict with an existing lock.
714
7153) default file perms are now 2767 (indicating support for mandatory locks) instead of 777 for directories
716in most cases. Eventually will offer optional ability to query server for the correct perms.
717
7183) Fixed eventual trap when mounting twice to different shares on the same server when the first succeeded
719but the second one was invalid and failed (the second one was incorrectly disconnecting the tcp and smb
720session)
721
7224) Fixed error logging of valid mount options
723
7245) Removed logging of password field.
725
7266) Moved negotiate, treeDisconnect and uloggoffX (only tConx and SessSetup remain in connect.c) to cifssmb.c
727and cleaned them up and made them more consistent with other cifs functions.
728
7297) Server support for Unix extensions is now fully detected and FindFirst is implemented both ways
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -0700730(with or without Unix extensions) but FindNext and QueryPathInfo with the Unix extensions are not completed,
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700731nor is the symlink support using the Unix extensions
