Steve Frenchf4cfd692005-07-14 18:29:02 -05001Version 1.35
2------------
3Add writepage performance improvements. Fix path name conversions
4for long filenames on mounts which were done with "mapchars" mount option
5specified.

Steve French11aa0142005-04-28 22:41:10 -07007Version 1.34
8------------
9Fix error mapping of the TOO_MANY_LINKS (hardlinks) case.
Steve French31ca3bc2005-04-28 22:41:11 -070010Do not oops if root user kills cifs oplock kernel thread or
11kills the cifsd thread (NB: killing the cifs kernel threads is not
12recommended, unmount and rmmod cifs will kill them when they are
Steve French68575472005-04-30 11:10:57 -070013no longer needed). Fix readdir to ASCII servers (ie older servers
14which do not support Unicode) and also require asterik.
Steve French3079ca62005-06-09 14:44:07 -070015Fix out of memory case in which data could be written one page
16off in the page cache.
Steve French11aa0142005-04-28 22:41:10 -070017
Steve French966ca922005-04-28 22:41:08 -070018Version 1.33
19------------
20Fix caching problem, in which readdir of directory containing a file
21which was cached could cause the file's time stamp to be updated
22without invalidating the readahead data (so we could get stale
23file data on the client for that file even as the server copy changed).
Steve Frenchcd634992005-04-28 22:41:10 -070024Cleanup response processing so cifsd can not loop when abnormally
25terminated.

Steve Frenchf654bac2005-04-28 22:41:04 -070028Version 1.32
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070029------------
30Fix oops in ls when Transact2 FindFirst (or FindNext) returns more than one
31transact response for an SMB request and search entry split across two frames.
Steve Frenchf654bac2005-04-28 22:41:04 -070032Add support for lsattr (getting ext2/ext3/reiserfs attr flags from the server)
33as new protocol extensions. Do not send Get/Set calls for POSIX ACLs
34unless server explicitly claims to support them in CIFS Unix extensions
Steve Frenchad009ac2005-04-28 22:41:05 -070035POSIX ACL capability bit. Fix packet signing when multiuser mounting with
Steve Frenchcbe04762005-04-28 22:41:05 -070036different users from the same client to the same server. Fix oops in
Steve French6a0b4822005-04-28 22:41:05 -070037cifs_close. Add mount option for remapping reserved characters in
38filenames (also allow recognizing files with created by SFU which have any
Steve French737b7582005-04-28 22:41:06 -070039of these seven reserved characters, except backslash, to be recognized).
Steve French848f3fc2005-04-28 22:41:07 -070040Fix invalid transact2 message (we were sometimes trying to interpret
Steve French099a58f2005-04-28 22:41:07 -070041oplock breaks as SMB responses). Add ioctl for checking that the
42current uid matches the uid of the mounter (needed by umount.cifs).
43Reduce the number of large buffer allocations in cifs response processing
44(significantly reduces memory pressure under heavy stress with multiple
45processes accessing the same server at the same time).
Steve Frenchf654bac2005-04-28 22:41:04 -070046
47Version 1.31
48------------
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070049Fix updates of DOS attributes and time fields so that files on NT4 servers
50do not get marked delete on close. Display sizes of cifs buffer pools in
51cifs stats. Fix oops in unmount when cifsd thread being killed by
52shutdown. Add generic readv/writev and aio support. Report inode numbers
53consistently in readdir and lookup (when serverino mount option is
54specified use the inode number that the server reports - for both lookup
55and readdir, otherwise by default the locally generated inode number is used
56for inodes created in either path since servers are not always able to
57provide unique inode numbers when exporting multiple volumes from under one
58sharename).
59
60Version 1.30
61------------
62Allow new nouser_xattr mount parm to disable xattr support for user namespace.
63Do not flag user_xattr mount parm in dmesg. Retry failures setting file time
64(mostly affects NT4 servers) by retry with handle based network operation.
65Add new POSIX Query FS Info for returning statfs info more accurately.
66Handle passwords with multiple commas in them.
67
68Version 1.29
69------------
70Fix default mode in sysfs of cifs module parms. Remove old readdir routine.
71Fix capabilities flags for large readx so as to allow reads larger than 64K.
72
73Version 1.28
74------------
75Add module init parm for large SMB buffer size (to allow it to be changed
76from its default of 16K) which is especially useful for large file copy
77when mounting with the directio mount option. Fix oops after
78returning from mount when experimental ExtendedSecurity enabled and
79SpnegoNegotiated returning invalid error. Fix case to retry better when
80peek returns from 1 to 3 bytes on socket which should have more data.
81Fixed path based calls (such as cifs lookup) to handle path names
82longer than 530 (now can handle PATH_MAX). Fix pass through authentication
83from Samba server to DC (Samba required dummy LM password).
84
85Version 1.27
86------------
87Turn off DNOTIFY (directory change notification support) by default
88(unless built with the experimental flag) to fix hang with KDE
89file browser. Fix DNOTIFY flag mappings. Fix hang (in wait_event
90waiting on an SMB response) in SendReceive when session dies but
91reconnects quickly from another task. Add module init parms for
92minimum number of large and small network buffers in the buffer pools,
93and for the maximum number of simultaneous requests.
94
95Version 1.26
96------------
97Add setfacl support to allow setting of ACLs remotely to Samba 3.10 and later
98and other POSIX CIFS compliant servers. Fix error mapping for getfacl
99to EOPNOTSUPP when server does not support posix acls on the wire. Fix
100improperly zeroed buffer in CIFS Unix extensions set times call.
101
102Version 1.25
103------------
104Fix internationlization problem in cifs readdir with filenames that map to
105longer UTF8 strings than the string on the wire was in Unicode. Add workaround
106for readdir to netapp servers. Fix search rewind (seek into readdir to return
107non-consecutive entries). Do not do readdir when server negotiates
108buffer size to small to fit filename. Add support for reading POSIX ACLs from
109the server (add also acl and noacl mount options).
110
111Version 1.24
112------------
113Optionally allow using server side inode numbers, rather than client generated
114ones by specifying mount option "serverino" - this is required for some apps
115to work which double check hardlinked files and have persistent inode numbers.
116
117Version 1.23
118------------
119Multiple bigendian fixes. On little endian systems (for reconnect after
120network failure) fix tcp session reconnect code so we do not try first
121to reconnect on reverse of port 445. Treat reparse points (NTFS junctions)
122as directories rather than symlinks because we can do follow link on them.
123
124Version 1.22
125------------
126Add config option to enable XATTR (extended attribute) support, mapping
127xattr names in the "user." namespace space to SMB/CIFS EAs. Lots of
128minor fixes pointed out by the Stanford SWAT checker (mostly missing
129or out of order NULL pointer checks in little used error paths).
130
131Version 1.21
132------------
133Add new mount parm to control whether mode check (generic_permission) is done
134on the client. If Unix extensions are enabled and the uids on the client
135and server do not match, client permission checks are meaningless on
136server uids that do not exist on the client (this does not affect the
137normal ACL check which occurs on the server). Fix default uid
138on mknod to match create and mkdir. Add optional mount parm to allow
139override of the default uid behavior (in which the server sets the uid
140and gid of newly created files). Normally for network filesystem mounts
141user want the server to set the uid/gid on newly created files (rather than
142using uid of the client processes you would in a local filesystem).
143
144Version 1.20
145------------
146Make transaction counts more consistent. Merge /proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps
147info into /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData. Fix oops in rare oops in readdir
148(in build_wildcard_path_from_dentry). Fix mknod to pass type field
149(block/char/fifo) properly. Remove spurious mount warning log entry when
150credentials passed as mount argument. Set major/minor device number in
151inode for block and char devices when unix extensions enabled.
152
153Version 1.19
154------------
155Fix /proc/fs/cifs/Stats and DebugData display to handle larger
156amounts of return data. Properly limit requests to MAX_REQ (50
157is the usual maximum active multiplex SMB/CIFS requests per server).
158Do not kill cifsd (and thus hurt the other SMB session) when more than one
159session to the same server (but with different userids) exists and one
160of the two user's smb sessions is being removed while leaving the other.
161Do not loop reconnecting in cifsd demultiplex thread when admin
162kills the thread without going through unmount.
163
164Version 1.18
165------------
166Do not rename hardlinked files (since that should be a noop). Flush
167cached write behind data when reopening a file after session abend,
168except when already in write. Grab per socket sem during reconnect
169to avoid oops in sendmsg if overlapping with reconnect. Do not
170reset cached inode file size on readdir for files open for write on
171client.
172
173
174Version 1.17
175------------
176Update number of blocks in file so du command is happier (in Linux a fake
177blocksize of 512 is required for calculating number of blocks in inode).
178Fix prepare write of partial pages to read in data from server if possible.
179Fix race on tcpStatus field between unmount and reconnection code, causing
180cifsd process sometimes to hang around forever. Improve out of memory
181checks in cifs_filldir
182
183Version 1.16
184------------
185Fix incorrect file size in file handle based setattr on big endian hardware.
186Fix oops in build_path_from_dentry when out of memory. Add checks for invalid
187and closing file structs in writepage/partialpagewrite. Add statistics
188for each mounted share (new menuconfig option). Fix endianness problem in
189volume information displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData (only affects
190affects big endian architectures). Prevent renames while constructing
191path names for open, mkdir and rmdir.
192
193Version 1.15
194------------
195Change to mempools for alloc smb request buffers and multiplex structs
196to better handle low memory problems (and potential deadlocks).
197
198Version 1.14
199------------
200Fix incomplete listings of large directories on Samba servers when Unix
201extensions enabled. Fix oops when smb_buffer can not be allocated. Fix
202rename deadlock when writing out dirty pages at same time.
203
204Version 1.13
205------------
206Fix open of files in which O_CREATE can cause the mode to change in
207some cases. Fix case in which retry of write overlaps file close.
208Fix PPC64 build error. Reduce excessive stack usage in smb password
209hashing. Fix overwrite of Linux user's view of file mode to Windows servers.
210
211Version 1.12
212------------
213Fixes for large file copy, signal handling, socket retry, buffer
214allocation and low memory situations.
215
216Version 1.11
217------------
218Better port 139 support to Windows servers (RFC1001/RFC1002 Session_Initialize)
219also now allowing support for specifying client netbiosname. NT4 support added.
220
221Version 1.10
222------------
223Fix reconnection (and certain failed mounts) to properly wake up the
224blocked users thread so it does not seem hung (in some cases was blocked
225until the cifs receive timeout expired). Fix spurious error logging
226to kernel log when application with open network files killed.
227
228Version 1.09
229------------
230Fix /proc/fs module unload warning message (that could be logged
231to the kernel log). Fix intermittent failure in connectathon
232test7 (hardlink count not immediately refreshed in case in which
233inode metadata can be incorrectly kept cached when time near zero)
234
235Version 1.08
236------------
237Allow file_mode and dir_mode (specified at mount time) to be enforced
238locally (the server already enforced its own ACLs too) for servers
239that do not report the correct mode (do not support the
240CIFS Unix Extensions).
241
242Version 1.07
243------------
244Fix some small memory leaks in some unmount error paths. Fix major leak
245of cache pages in readpages causing multiple read oriented stress
246testcases (including fsx, and even large file copy) to fail over time.
247
248Version 1.06
249------------
250Send NTCreateX with ATTR_POSIX if Linux/Unix extensions negotiated with server.
251This allows files that differ only in case and improves performance of file
252creation and file open to such servers. Fix semaphore conflict which causes
253slow delete of open file to Samba (which unfortunately can cause an oplock
254break to self while vfs_unlink held i_sem) which can hang for 20 seconds.
255
256Version 1.05
257------------
258fixes to cifs_readpages for fsx test case
259
260Version 1.04
261------------
262Fix caching data integrity bug when extending file size especially when no
263oplock on file. Fix spurious logging of valid already parsed mount options
264that are parsed outside of the cifs vfs such as nosuid.
265
266
267Version 1.03
268------------
269Connect to server when port number override not specified, and tcp port
270unitialized. Reset search to restart at correct file when kernel routine
271filldir returns error during large directory searches (readdir).
272
273Version 1.02
274------------
275Fix caching problem when files opened by multiple clients in which
276page cache could contain stale data, and write through did
277not occur often enough while file was still open when read ahead
278(read oplock) not allowed. Treat "sep=" when first mount option
279as an overrride of comma as the default separator between mount
280options.
281
282Version 1.01
283------------
284Allow passwords longer than 16 bytes. Allow null password string.
285
286Version 1.00
287------------
288Gracefully clean up failed mounts when attempting to mount to servers such as
289Windows 98 that terminate tcp sessions during prototocol negotiation. Handle
290embedded commas in mount parsing of passwords.
291
292Version 0.99
293------------
294Invalidate local inode cached pages on oplock break and when last file
295instance is closed so that the client does not continue using stale local
296copy rather than later modified server copy of file. Do not reconnect
297when server drops the tcp session prematurely before negotiate
298protocol response. Fix oops in roepen_file when dentry freed. Allow
299the support for CIFS Unix Extensions to be disabled via proc interface.
300
301Version 0.98
302------------
303Fix hang in commit_write during reconnection of open files under heavy load.
304Fix unload_nls oops in a mount failure path. Serialize writes to same socket
305which also fixes any possible races when cifs signatures are enabled in SMBs
306being sent out of signature sequence number order.
307
308Version 0.97
309------------
310Fix byte range locking bug (endian problem) causing bad offset and
311length.
312
313Version 0.96
314------------
315Fix oops (in send_sig) caused by CIFS unmount code trying to
316wake up the demultiplex thread after it had exited. Do not log
317error on harmless oplock release of closed handle.
318
319Version 0.95
320------------
321Fix unsafe global variable usage and password hash failure on gcc 3.3.1
322Fix problem reconnecting secondary mounts to same server after session
323failure. Fix invalid dentry - race in mkdir when directory gets created
324by another client between the lookup and mkdir.
325
326Version 0.94
327------------
328Fix to list processing in reopen_files. Fix reconnection when server hung
329but tcpip session still alive. Set proper timeout on socket read.

335of default nls codepage
336
337Version 0.92
338------------
339Active smb transactions should never go negative (fix double FreeXid). Fix
340list processing in file routines. Check return code on kmalloc in open.
341Fix spinlock usage for SMP.
342
343Version 0.91
344------------
345Fix oops in reopen_files when invalid dentry. drop dentry on server rename
346and on revalidate errors. Fix cases where pid is now tgid. Fix return code
347on create hard link when server does not support them.
348

363Retry on ENOSPC and EAGAIN socket errors.
364
365Version 0.87
366------------

378during auto reconnection to server after server recovered from failure.
379
380Version 0.84
381------------
382Finish support for Linux 2.5 open/create changes, which removes the
383redundant NTCreate/QPathInfo/close that was sent during file create.
384Enable oplock by default. Enable packet signing by default (needed to
385access many recent Windows servers)
386
387Version 0.83
388------------
389Fix oops when mounting to long server names caused by inverted parms to kmalloc.
390Fix MultiuserMount (/proc/fs/cifs configuration setting) so that when enabled
391we will choose a cifs user session (smb uid) that better matches the local
392uid if a) the mount uid does not match the current uid and b) we have another
393session to the same server (ip address) for a different mount which
394matches the current local uid.
395
396Version 0.82
397------------
398Add support for mknod of block or character devices. Fix oplock
399code (distributed caching) to properly send response to oplock
400break from server.
401
402Version 0.81
403------------
404Finish up CIFS packet digital signing for the default
405NTLM security case. This should help Windows 2003
406network interoperability since it is common for
407packet signing to be required now. Fix statfs (stat -f)
408which recently started returning errors due to
409invalid value (-1 instead of 0) being set in the
410struct kstatfs f_ffiles field.
411
412Version 0.80
413-----------
414Fix oops on stopping oplock thread when removing cifs when

424Fixed various incorrect or misleading smb to posix error code mappings.
425
426Version 0.77
427------------
428Fix display of NTFS DFS junctions to display as symlinks.
429They are the network equivalent. Fix oops in
430cifs_partialpagewrite caused by missing spinlock protection
431of openfile linked list. Allow writebehind caching errors to
432be returned to the application at file close.
433
434Version 0.76
435------------
436Clean up options displayed in /proc/mounts by show_options to
437be more consistent with other filesystems.
438
439Version 0.75
440------------
441Fix delete of readonly file to Windows servers. Reflect
442presence or absence of read only dos attribute in mode
443bits for servers that do not support CIFS Unix extensions.
444Fix shortened results on readdir of large directories to
445servers supporting CIFS Unix extensions (caused by
446incorrect resume key).
447
448Version 0.74
449------------
450Fix truncate bug (set file size) that could cause hangs e.g. running fsx
451
452Version 0.73
453------------
454unload nls if mount fails.
455
456Version 0.72
457------------
458Add resume key support to search (readdir) code to workaround
459Windows bug. Add /proc/fs/cifs/LookupCacheEnable which
460allows disabling caching of attribute information for
461lookups.
462
463Version 0.71
464------------
465Add more oplock handling (distributed caching code). Remove
466dead code. Remove excessive stack space utilization from
467symlink routines.
468
469Version 0.70
470------------
471Fix oops in get dfs referral (triggered when null path sent in to
472mount). Add support for overriding rsize at mount time.
473
474Version 0.69
475------------
476Fix buffer overrun in readdir which caused intermittent kernel oopses.
477Fix writepage code to release kmap on write data. Allow "-ip=" new
478mount option to be passed in on parameter distinct from the first part
479(server name portion of) the UNC name. Allow override of the
480tcp port of the target server via new mount option "-port="
481
482Version 0.68
483------------
484Fix search handle leak on rewind. Fix setuid and gid so that they are
485reflected in the local inode immediately. Cleanup of whitespace
486to make 2.4 and 2.5 versions more consistent.
487
488
489Version 0.67
490------------
491Fix signal sending so that captive thread (cifsd) exits on umount
492(which was causing the warning in kmem_cache_free of the request buffers
493at rmmod time). This had broken as a sideeffect of the recent global
494kernel change to daemonize. Fix memory leak in readdir code which
495showed up in "ls -R" (and applications that did search rewinding).
496
497Version 0.66
498------------
499Reconnect tids and fids after session reconnection (still do not
500reconnect byte range locks though). Fix problem caching
501lookup information for directory inodes, improving performance,
502especially in deep directory trees. Fix various build warnings.
503
504Version 0.65
505------------
506Finish fixes to commit write for caching/readahead consistency. fsx
507now works to Samba servers. Fix oops caused when readahead
508was interrupted by a signal.
509
510Version 0.64
511------------
512Fix data corruption (in partial page after truncate) that caused fsx to
513fail to Windows servers. Cleaned up some extraneous error logging in
514common error paths. Add generic sendfile support.
515
516Version 0.63
517------------
518Fix memory leak in AllocMidQEntry.
519Finish reconnection logic, so connection with server can be dropped
520(or server rebooted) and the cifs client will reconnect.
521
522Version 0.62
523------------
524Fix temporary socket leak when bad userid or password specified
525(or other SMBSessSetup failure). Increase maximum buffer size to slightly
526over 16K to allow negotiation of up to Samba and Windows server default read
527sizes. Add support for readpages
528
529Version 0.61
530------------
531Fix oops when username not passed in on mount. Extensive fixes and improvements
532to error logging (strip redundant newlines, change debug macros to ensure newline
533passed in and to be more consistent). Fix writepage wrong file handle problem,
534a readonly file handle could be incorrectly used to attempt to write out
535file updates through the page cache to multiply open files. This could cause
536the iozone benchmark to fail on the fwrite test. Fix bug mounting two different
537shares to the same Windows server when using different usernames
538(doing this to Samba servers worked but Windows was rejecting it) - now it is
539possible to use different userids when connecting to the same server from a
540Linux client. Fix oops when treeDisconnect called during unmount on
541previously freed socket.

690show range as locked when there is a conflict with an existing lock.
691
6923) default file perms are now 2767 (indicating support for mandatory locks) instead of 777 for directories
693in most cases. Eventually will offer optional ability to query server for the correct perms.
694

6994) Fixed error logging of valid mount options
700
7015) Removed logging of password field.
702
7036) Moved negotiate, treeDisconnect and uloggoffX (only tConx and SessSetup remain in connect.c) to cifssmb.c
