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 Frenchc46fa8a2005-08-18 20:49:57 -07006Version 1.36
7------------
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -07008Add support for mounting to older pre-CIFS servers such as Windows9x and ME.
Steve French6b8edfe2005-08-23 20:26:03 -07009For these older servers, add option for passing netbios name of server in
Steve French16abbec2005-08-30 13:10:14 -070010on mount (servernetbiosname). Add suspend support for power management, to
11avoid cifsd thread preventing software suspend from working.
Steve Frenchc46fa8a2005-08-18 20:49:57 -070012Add mount option for disabling the default behavior of sending byte range lock
13requests to the server (necessary for certain applications which break with
14mandatory lock behavior such as Evolution), and also mount option for
15requesting case insensitive matching for path based requests (requesting
16case sensitive is the default).
17
Steve Frenchf4cfd692005-07-14 18:29:02 -050018Version 1.35
19------------
20Add writepage performance improvements. Fix path name conversions
21for long filenames on mounts which were done with "mapchars" mount option
Steve Frencha10faeb22005-08-22 21:38:31 -070022specified. Ensure multiplex ids do not collide. Fix case in which
23rmmod can oops if done soon after last unmount. Fix truncated
24search (readdir) output when resume filename was a long filename.
25Fix filename conversion when mapchars mount option was specified and
26filename was a long filename.
Steve Frenchf4cfd692005-07-14 18:29:02 -050027
Steve French11aa0142005-04-28 22:41:10 -070028Version 1.34
29------------
30Fix error mapping of the TOO_MANY_LINKS (hardlinks) case.
Steve French31ca3bc2005-04-28 22:41:11 -070031Do not oops if root user kills cifs oplock kernel thread or
32kills the cifsd thread (NB: killing the cifs kernel threads is not
33recommended, unmount and rmmod cifs will kill them when they are
Steve French68575472005-04-30 11:10:57 -070034no longer needed). Fix readdir to ASCII servers (ie older servers
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -070035which do not support Unicode) and also require asterisk.
Steve French3079ca62005-06-09 14:44:07 -070036Fix out of memory case in which data could be written one page
37off in the page cache.
Steve French11aa0142005-04-28 22:41:10 -070038
Steve French966ca922005-04-28 22:41:08 -070039Version 1.33
40------------
41Fix caching problem, in which readdir of directory containing a file
42which was cached could cause the file's time stamp to be updated
43without invalidating the readahead data (so we could get stale
44file data on the client for that file even as the server copy changed).
Steve Frenchcd634992005-04-28 22:41:10 -070045Cleanup response processing so cifsd can not loop when abnormally
46terminated.
Steve French966ca922005-04-28 22:41:08 -070047
48
Steve Frenchf654bac2005-04-28 22:41:04 -070049Version 1.32
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070050------------
51Fix oops in ls when Transact2 FindFirst (or FindNext) returns more than one
52transact response for an SMB request and search entry split across two frames.
Steve Frenchf654bac2005-04-28 22:41:04 -070053Add support for lsattr (getting ext2/ext3/reiserfs attr flags from the server)
54as new protocol extensions. Do not send Get/Set calls for POSIX ACLs
55unless server explicitly claims to support them in CIFS Unix extensions
Steve Frenchad009ac2005-04-28 22:41:05 -070056POSIX ACL capability bit. Fix packet signing when multiuser mounting with
Steve Frenchcbe04762005-04-28 22:41:05 -070057different users from the same client to the same server. Fix oops in
Steve French6a0b4822005-04-28 22:41:05 -070058cifs_close. Add mount option for remapping reserved characters in
59filenames (also allow recognizing files with created by SFU which have any
Steve French737b7582005-04-28 22:41:06 -070060of these seven reserved characters, except backslash, to be recognized).
Steve French848f3fc2005-04-28 22:41:07 -070061Fix invalid transact2 message (we were sometimes trying to interpret
Steve French099a58f2005-04-28 22:41:07 -070062oplock breaks as SMB responses). Add ioctl for checking that the
63current uid matches the uid of the mounter (needed by umount.cifs).
64Reduce the number of large buffer allocations in cifs response processing
65(significantly reduces memory pressure under heavy stress with multiple
66processes accessing the same server at the same time).
Steve Frenchf654bac2005-04-28 22:41:04 -070067
68Version 1.31
69------------
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070070Fix updates of DOS attributes and time fields so that files on NT4 servers
71do not get marked delete on close. Display sizes of cifs buffer pools in
72cifs stats. Fix oops in unmount when cifsd thread being killed by
73shutdown. Add generic readv/writev and aio support. Report inode numbers
74consistently in readdir and lookup (when serverino mount option is
75specified use the inode number that the server reports - for both lookup
76and readdir, otherwise by default the locally generated inode number is used
77for inodes created in either path since servers are not always able to
78provide unique inode numbers when exporting multiple volumes from under one
79sharename).
80
81Version 1.30
82------------
83Allow new nouser_xattr mount parm to disable xattr support for user namespace.
84Do not flag user_xattr mount parm in dmesg. Retry failures setting file time
85(mostly affects NT4 servers) by retry with handle based network operation.
86Add new POSIX Query FS Info for returning statfs info more accurately.
87Handle passwords with multiple commas in them.
88
89Version 1.29
90------------
91Fix default mode in sysfs of cifs module parms. Remove old readdir routine.
92Fix capabilities flags for large readx so as to allow reads larger than 64K.
93
94Version 1.28
95------------
96Add module init parm for large SMB buffer size (to allow it to be changed
97from its default of 16K) which is especially useful for large file copy
98when mounting with the directio mount option. Fix oops after
99returning from mount when experimental ExtendedSecurity enabled and
100SpnegoNegotiated returning invalid error. Fix case to retry better when
101peek returns from 1 to 3 bytes on socket which should have more data.
102Fixed path based calls (such as cifs lookup) to handle path names
103longer than 530 (now can handle PATH_MAX). Fix pass through authentication
104from Samba server to DC (Samba required dummy LM password).
105
106Version 1.27
107------------
108Turn off DNOTIFY (directory change notification support) by default
109(unless built with the experimental flag) to fix hang with KDE
110file browser. Fix DNOTIFY flag mappings. Fix hang (in wait_event
111waiting on an SMB response) in SendReceive when session dies but
112reconnects quickly from another task. Add module init parms for
113minimum number of large and small network buffers in the buffer pools,
114and for the maximum number of simultaneous requests.
115
116Version 1.26
117------------
118Add setfacl support to allow setting of ACLs remotely to Samba 3.10 and later
119and other POSIX CIFS compliant servers. Fix error mapping for getfacl
120to EOPNOTSUPP when server does not support posix acls on the wire. Fix
121improperly zeroed buffer in CIFS Unix extensions set times call.
122
123Version 1.25
124------------
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -0700125Fix internationalization problem in cifs readdir with filenames that map to
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700126longer UTF8 strings than the string on the wire was in Unicode. Add workaround
127for readdir to netapp servers. Fix search rewind (seek into readdir to return
128non-consecutive entries). Do not do readdir when server negotiates
129buffer size to small to fit filename. Add support for reading POSIX ACLs from
130the server (add also acl and noacl mount options).
131
132Version 1.24
133------------
134Optionally allow using server side inode numbers, rather than client generated
135ones by specifying mount option "serverino" - this is required for some apps
136to work which double check hardlinked files and have persistent inode numbers.
137
138Version 1.23
139------------
140Multiple bigendian fixes. On little endian systems (for reconnect after
141network failure) fix tcp session reconnect code so we do not try first
142to reconnect on reverse of port 445. Treat reparse points (NTFS junctions)
143as directories rather than symlinks because we can do follow link on them.
144
145Version 1.22
146------------
147Add config option to enable XATTR (extended attribute) support, mapping
148xattr names in the "user." namespace space to SMB/CIFS EAs. Lots of
149minor fixes pointed out by the Stanford SWAT checker (mostly missing
150or out of order NULL pointer checks in little used error paths).
151
152Version 1.21
153------------
154Add new mount parm to control whether mode check (generic_permission) is done
155on the client. If Unix extensions are enabled and the uids on the client
156and server do not match, client permission checks are meaningless on
157server uids that do not exist on the client (this does not affect the
158normal ACL check which occurs on the server). Fix default uid
159on mknod to match create and mkdir. Add optional mount parm to allow
160override of the default uid behavior (in which the server sets the uid
161and gid of newly created files). Normally for network filesystem mounts
162user want the server to set the uid/gid on newly created files (rather than
163using uid of the client processes you would in a local filesystem).
164
165Version 1.20
166------------
167Make transaction counts more consistent. Merge /proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps
168info into /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData. Fix oops in rare oops in readdir
169(in build_wildcard_path_from_dentry). Fix mknod to pass type field
170(block/char/fifo) properly. Remove spurious mount warning log entry when
171credentials passed as mount argument. Set major/minor device number in
172inode for block and char devices when unix extensions enabled.
173
174Version 1.19
175------------
176Fix /proc/fs/cifs/Stats and DebugData display to handle larger
177amounts of return data. Properly limit requests to MAX_REQ (50
178is the usual maximum active multiplex SMB/CIFS requests per server).
179Do not kill cifsd (and thus hurt the other SMB session) when more than one
180session to the same server (but with different userids) exists and one
181of the two user's smb sessions is being removed while leaving the other.
182Do not loop reconnecting in cifsd demultiplex thread when admin
183kills the thread without going through unmount.
184
185Version 1.18
186------------
187Do not rename hardlinked files (since that should be a noop). Flush
188cached write behind data when reopening a file after session abend,
189except when already in write. Grab per socket sem during reconnect
190to avoid oops in sendmsg if overlapping with reconnect. Do not
191reset cached inode file size on readdir for files open for write on
192client.
193
194
195Version 1.17
196------------
197Update number of blocks in file so du command is happier (in Linux a fake
198blocksize of 512 is required for calculating number of blocks in inode).
199Fix prepare write of partial pages to read in data from server if possible.
200Fix race on tcpStatus field between unmount and reconnection code, causing
201cifsd process sometimes to hang around forever. Improve out of memory
202checks in cifs_filldir
203
204Version 1.16
205------------
206Fix incorrect file size in file handle based setattr on big endian hardware.
207Fix oops in build_path_from_dentry when out of memory. Add checks for invalid
208and closing file structs in writepage/partialpagewrite. Add statistics
209for each mounted share (new menuconfig option). Fix endianness problem in
210volume information displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData (only affects
211affects big endian architectures). Prevent renames while constructing
212path names for open, mkdir and rmdir.
213
214Version 1.15
215------------
216Change to mempools for alloc smb request buffers and multiplex structs
217to better handle low memory problems (and potential deadlocks).
218
219Version 1.14
220------------
221Fix incomplete listings of large directories on Samba servers when Unix
222extensions enabled. Fix oops when smb_buffer can not be allocated. Fix
223rename deadlock when writing out dirty pages at same time.
224
225Version 1.13
226------------
227Fix open of files in which O_CREATE can cause the mode to change in
228some cases. Fix case in which retry of write overlaps file close.
229Fix PPC64 build error. Reduce excessive stack usage in smb password
230hashing. Fix overwrite of Linux user's view of file mode to Windows servers.
231
232Version 1.12
233------------
234Fixes for large file copy, signal handling, socket retry, buffer
235allocation and low memory situations.
236
237Version 1.11
238------------
239Better port 139 support to Windows servers (RFC1001/RFC1002 Session_Initialize)
240also now allowing support for specifying client netbiosname. NT4 support added.
241
242Version 1.10
243------------
244Fix reconnection (and certain failed mounts) to properly wake up the
245blocked users thread so it does not seem hung (in some cases was blocked
246until the cifs receive timeout expired). Fix spurious error logging
247to kernel log when application with open network files killed.
248
249Version 1.09
250------------
251Fix /proc/fs module unload warning message (that could be logged
252to the kernel log). Fix intermittent failure in connectathon
253test7 (hardlink count not immediately refreshed in case in which
254inode metadata can be incorrectly kept cached when time near zero)
255
256Version 1.08
257------------
258Allow file_mode and dir_mode (specified at mount time) to be enforced
259locally (the server already enforced its own ACLs too) for servers
260that do not report the correct mode (do not support the
261CIFS Unix Extensions).
262
263Version 1.07
264------------
265Fix some small memory leaks in some unmount error paths. Fix major leak
266of cache pages in readpages causing multiple read oriented stress
267testcases (including fsx, and even large file copy) to fail over time.
268
269Version 1.06
270------------
271Send NTCreateX with ATTR_POSIX if Linux/Unix extensions negotiated with server.
272This allows files that differ only in case and improves performance of file
273creation and file open to such servers. Fix semaphore conflict which causes
274slow delete of open file to Samba (which unfortunately can cause an oplock
275break to self while vfs_unlink held i_sem) which can hang for 20 seconds.
276
277Version 1.05
278------------
279fixes to cifs_readpages for fsx test case
280
281Version 1.04
282------------
283Fix caching data integrity bug when extending file size especially when no
284oplock on file. Fix spurious logging of valid already parsed mount options
285that are parsed outside of the cifs vfs such as nosuid.
286
287
288Version 1.03
289------------
290Connect to server when port number override not specified, and tcp port
291unitialized. Reset search to restart at correct file when kernel routine
292filldir returns error during large directory searches (readdir).
293
294Version 1.02
295------------
296Fix caching problem when files opened by multiple clients in which
297page cache could contain stale data, and write through did
298not occur often enough while file was still open when read ahead
299(read oplock) not allowed. Treat "sep=" when first mount option
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -0700300as an override of comma as the default separator between mount
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700301options.
302
303Version 1.01
304------------
305Allow passwords longer than 16 bytes. Allow null password string.
306
307Version 1.00
308------------
309Gracefully clean up failed mounts when attempting to mount to servers such as
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -0700310Windows 98 that terminate tcp sessions during protocol negotiation. Handle
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700311embedded commas in mount parsing of passwords.
312
313Version 0.99
314------------
315Invalidate local inode cached pages on oplock break and when last file
316instance is closed so that the client does not continue using stale local
317copy rather than later modified server copy of file. Do not reconnect
318when server drops the tcp session prematurely before negotiate
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -0700319protocol response. Fix oops in reopen_file when dentry freed. Allow
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700320the support for CIFS Unix Extensions to be disabled via proc interface.
321
322Version 0.98
323------------
324Fix hang in commit_write during reconnection of open files under heavy load.
325Fix unload_nls oops in a mount failure path. Serialize writes to same socket
326which also fixes any possible races when cifs signatures are enabled in SMBs
327being sent out of signature sequence number order.
328
329Version 0.97
330------------
331Fix byte range locking bug (endian problem) causing bad offset and
332length.
333
334Version 0.96
335------------
336Fix oops (in send_sig) caused by CIFS unmount code trying to

338error on harmless oplock release of closed handle.
339
340Version 0.95
341------------
342Fix unsafe global variable usage and password hash failure on gcc 3.3.1

346
347Version 0.94
348------------
349Fix to list processing in reopen_files. Fix reconnection when server hung
350but tcpip session still alive. Set proper timeout on socket read.
351
352Version 0.93
353------------
354Add missing mount options including iocharset. SMP fixes in write and open.

384Retry on ENOSPC and EAGAIN socket errors.
385
386Version 0.87
387------------
388Fix oops on big endian readdir. Set blksize to be even power of two (2**blkbits) to fix

404redundant NTCreate/QPathInfo/close that was sent during file create.
405Enable oplock by default. Enable packet signing by default (needed to
406access many recent Windows servers)
407
408Version 0.83
409------------
410Fix oops when mounting to long server names caused by inverted parms to kmalloc.
411Fix MultiuserMount (/proc/fs/cifs configuration setting) so that when enabled
412we will choose a cifs user session (smb uid) that better matches the local
413uid if a) the mount uid does not match the current uid and b) we have another
414session to the same server (ip address) for a different mount which
415matches the current local uid.
416

418------------
419Add support for mknod of block or character devices. Fix oplock
420code (distributed caching) to properly send response to oplock
421break from server.
422
423Version 0.81
424------------
425Finish up CIFS packet digital signing for the default
426NTLM security case. This should help Windows 2003
427network interoperability since it is common for
428packet signing to be required now. Fix statfs (stat -f)
429which recently started returning errors due to
430invalid value (-1 instead of 0) being set in the
431struct kstatfs f_ffiles field.
432
433Version 0.80
434-----------
435Fix oops on stopping oplock thread when removing cifs when
436built as module.
437
438Version 0.79
439------------
440Fix mount options for ro (readonly), uid, gid and file and directory mode.
441
442Version 0.78
443------------
444Fix errors displayed on failed mounts to be more understandable.
445Fixed various incorrect or misleading smb to posix error code mappings.
446
447Version 0.77
448------------
449Fix display of NTFS DFS junctions to display as symlinks.
450They are the network equivalent. Fix oops in
451cifs_partialpagewrite caused by missing spinlock protection
452of openfile linked list. Allow writebehind caching errors to
453be returned to the application at file close.
454
455Version 0.76
456------------
457Clean up options displayed in /proc/mounts by show_options to
458be more consistent with other filesystems.
459
460Version 0.75
461------------

463presence or absence of read only dos attribute in mode
464bits for servers that do not support CIFS Unix extensions.
465Fix shortened results on readdir of large directories to
466servers supporting CIFS Unix extensions (caused by
467incorrect resume key).
468
469Version 0.74
470------------
471Fix truncate bug (set file size) that could cause hangs e.g. running fsx
472
473Version 0.73

475unload nls if mount fails.
476
477Version 0.72
478------------
479Add resume key support to search (readdir) code to workaround
480Windows bug. Add /proc/fs/cifs/LookupCacheEnable which
481allows disabling caching of attribute information for
482lookups.
483
484Version 0.71
485------------
486Add more oplock handling (distributed caching code). Remove
487dead code. Remove excessive stack space utilization from
488symlink routines.
489
490Version 0.70
491------------
492Fix oops in get dfs referral (triggered when null path sent in to
493mount). Add support for overriding rsize at mount time.
494
495Version 0.69
496------------
497Fix buffer overrun in readdir which caused intermittent kernel oopses.
498Fix writepage code to release kmap on write data. Allow "-ip=" new
499mount option to be passed in on parameter distinct from the first part
500(server name portion of) the UNC name. Allow override of the
501tcp port of the target server via new mount option "-port="
502
503Version 0.68
504------------
505Fix search handle leak on rewind. Fix setuid and gid so that they are
506reflected in the local inode immediately. Cleanup of whitespace
507to make 2.4 and 2.5 versions more consistent.
508
509
510Version 0.67
511------------
512Fix signal sending so that captive thread (cifsd) exits on umount
513(which was causing the warning in kmem_cache_free of the request buffers
514at rmmod time). This had broken as a sideeffect of the recent global
515kernel change to daemonize. Fix memory leak in readdir code which
516showed up in "ls -R" (and applications that did search rewinding).
517
518Version 0.66
519------------
520Reconnect tids and fids after session reconnection (still do not
521reconnect byte range locks though). Fix problem caching
522lookup information for directory inodes, improving performance,
523especially in deep directory trees. Fix various build warnings.
524
525Version 0.65
526------------
527Finish fixes to commit write for caching/readahead consistency. fsx
528now works to Samba servers. Fix oops caused when readahead
529was interrupted by a signal.
530
531Version 0.64
532------------
533Fix data corruption (in partial page after truncate) that caused fsx to
534fail to Windows servers. Cleaned up some extraneous error logging in
535common error paths. Add generic sendfile support.
536
537Version 0.63
538------------
539Fix memory leak in AllocMidQEntry.
540Finish reconnection logic, so connection with server can be dropped
541(or server rebooted) and the cifs client will reconnect.
542
543Version 0.62
544------------
545Fix temporary socket leak when bad userid or password specified
546(or other SMBSessSetup failure). Increase maximum buffer size to slightly
547over 16K to allow negotiation of up to Samba and Windows server default read
548sizes. Add support for readpages
549
550Version 0.61
551------------
552Fix oops when username not passed in on mount. Extensive fixes and improvements
553to error logging (strip redundant newlines, change debug macros to ensure newline
554passed in and to be more consistent). Fix writepage wrong file handle problem,
555a readonly file handle could be incorrectly used to attempt to write out
556file updates through the page cache to multiply open files. This could cause
557the iozone benchmark to fail on the fwrite test. Fix bug mounting two different
558shares to the same Windows server when using different usernames
559(doing this to Samba servers worked but Windows was rejecting it) - now it is
560possible to use different userids when connecting to the same server from a
561Linux client. Fix oops when treeDisconnect called during unmount on
562previously freed socket.
563
564Version 0.60
565------------
566Fix oops in readpages caused by not setting address space operations in inode in
567rare code path.

572requirement). Add readlink support for Windows junction points (directory symlinks).
573
574Version 0.58
575------------
576Changed read and write to go through pagecache. Added additional address space operations.
577Memory mapped operations now working.
578
579Version 0.57
580------------
581Added writepage code for additional memory mapping support. Fixed leak in xids causing
582the simultaneous operations counter (/proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps) to increase on
583every stat call. Additional formatting cleanup.
584
585Version 0.56
586------------
587Fix bigendian bug in order of time conversion. Merge 2.5 to 2.4 version. Formatting cleanup.
588

593the smb session and tree connection and mid related global variables.
594
595Version 0.54
596------------
597Fix problem with captive thread hanging around at unmount time. Adjust to 2.5.42-pre
598changes to superblock layout. Remove wasteful allocation of smb buffers (now the send
599buffer is reused for responses). Add more oplock handling. Additional minor cleanup.
600
601Version 0.53
602------------

657
658Version 0.41
659------------
660Various minor fixes for Connectathon Posix "basic" file i/o test suite. Directory caching fixed so hardlinked
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -0700661files now return the correct number of links on fstat as they are repeatedly linked and unlinked.

688although corresponding function not fully implemented in the vfs yet
689
690Version 0.34
691------------
692Fixed dentry caching bug, misc. cleanup
693
694Version 0.33

704
705
706Version 0.31
707------------
7081) Fixed lockrange to be correct (it was one byte too short)
709
7102) Fixed GETLK (i.e. the fcntl call to test a range of bytes in a file to see if locked) to correctly
711show range as locked when there is a conflict with an existing lock.
712
7133) default file perms are now 2767 (indicating support for mandatory locks) instead of 777 for directories
714in most cases. Eventually will offer optional ability to query server for the correct perms.
715
7163) Fixed eventual trap when mounting twice to different shares on the same server when the first succeeded
717but the second one was invalid and failed (the second one was incorrectly disconnecting the tcp and smb
718session)
719
7204) Fixed error logging of valid mount options
721
7225) Removed logging of password field.
723
7246) Moved negotiate, treeDisconnect and uloggoffX (only tConx and SessSetup remain in connect.c) to cifssmb.c
725and cleaned them up and made them more consistent with other cifs functions.
726
7277) Server support for Unix extensions is now fully detected and FindFirst is implemented both ways
Steve Frenchc0c3e8e2005-08-24 14:01:13 -0700728(with or without Unix extensions) but FindNext and QueryPathInfo with the Unix extensions are not completed,
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700729nor is the symlink support using the Unix extensions
