3 Do not time out lockw calls when using posix extensions. Do not
4 time out requests if server still responding reasonably fast
5 on requests on other threads. Improve POSIX locking emulation,
6 (lock cancel now works, and unlock of merged range works even
7 to Windows servers now). Fix oops on mount to lanman servers
8 (win9x, os/2 etc.) when null password.
12 Rewritten sessionsetup support, including support for legacy SMB
13 session setup needed for OS/2 and older servers such as Windows 95 and 98.
14 Fix oops on ls to OS/2 servers. Add support for level 1 FindFirst
15 so we can do search (ls etc.) to OS/2. Do not send NTCreateX
16 or recent levels of FindFirst unless server says it supports NT SMBs
17 (instead use legacy equivalents from LANMAN dialect). Fix to allow
18 NTLMv2 authentication support (now can use stronger password hashing
19 on mount if corresponding /proc/fs/cifs/SecurityFlags is set (0x4004).
20 Allow override of global cifs security flags on mount via "sec=" option(s).
24 POSIX locking to servers which support CIFS POSIX Extensions
25 (disabled by default controlled by proc/fs/cifs/Experimental).
26 Handle conversion of long share names (especially Asian languages)
27 to Unicode during mount. Fix memory leak in sess struct on reconnect.
28 Fix rare oops after acpi suspend. Fix O_TRUNC opens to overwrite on
29 cifs open which helps rare case when setpathinfo fails or server does
34 Fix slow oplock break when mounted to different servers at the same time and
35 the tids match and we try to find matching fid on wrong server. Fix read
36 looping when signing required by server (2.6.16 kernel only). Fix readdir
37 vs. rename race which could cause each to hang. Return . and .. even
38 if server does not. Allow searches to skip first three entries and
39 begin at any location. Fix oops in find_writeable_file.
43 Fix NTLMv2 security (can be enabled in /proc/fs/cifs) so customers can
44 configure stronger authentication. Fix sfu symlinks so they can
45 be followed (not just recognized). Fix wraparound of bcc on
46 read responses when buffer size over 64K and also fix wrap of
47 max smb buffer size when CIFSMaxBufSize over 64K. Fix oops in
48 cifs_user_read and cifs_readpages (when EAGAIN on send of smb
49 on socket is returned over and over). Add POSIX (advisory) byte range
50 locking support (requires server with newest CIFS UNIX Extensions
51 to the protocol implemented). Slow down negprot slightly in port 139
52 RFC1001 case to give session_init time on buggy servers.
56 Use fsuid (fsgid) more consistently instead of uid (gid). Improve performance
57 of readpages by eliminating one extra memcpy. Allow update of file size
58 from remote server even if file is open for write as long as mount is
59 directio. Recognize share mode security and send NTLM encrypted password
60 on tree connect if share mode negotiated.
64 Defer close of a file handle slightly if pending writes depend on that handle
65 (this reduces the EBADF bad file handle errors that can be logged under heavy
66 stress on writes). Modify cifs Kconfig options to expose CONFIG_CIFS_STATS2
67 Fix SFU style symlinks and mknod needed for servers which do not support the
68 CIFS Unix Extensions. Fix setfacl/getfacl on bigendian. Timeout negative
69 dentries so files that the client sees as deleted but that later get created
70 on the server will be recognized. Add client side permission check on setattr.
71 Timeout stuck requests better (where server has never responded or sent corrupt
76 Fix tcp socket retransmission timeouts (e.g. on ENOSPACE from the socket)
77 to be smaller at first (but increasing) so large write performance performance
78 over GigE is better. Do not hang thread on illegal byte range lock response
79 from Windows (Windows can send an RFC1001 size which does not match smb size) by
80 allowing an SMBs TCP length to be up to a few bytes longer than it should be.
81 wsize and rsize can now be larger than negotiated buffer size if server
82 supports large readx/writex, even when directio mount flag not specified.
83 Write size will in many cases now be 16K instead of 4K which greatly helps
84 file copy performance on lightly loaded networks. Fix oops in dnotify
85 when experimental config flag enabled. Make cifsFYI more granular.
89 Fix readdir caching when unlink removes file in current search buffer,
90 and this is followed by a rewind search to just before the deleted entry.
91 Do not attempt to set ctime unless atime and/or mtime change requested
92 (most servers throw it away anyway). Fix length check of received smbs
93 to be more accurate. Fix big endian problem with mapchars mount option,
94 and with a field returned by statfs.
98 Add support for mounting to older pre-CIFS servers such as Windows9x and ME.
99 For these older servers, add option for passing netbios name of server in
100 on mount (servernetbiosname). Add suspend support for power management, to
101 avoid cifsd thread preventing software suspend from working.
102 Add mount option for disabling the default behavior of sending byte range lock
103 requests to the server (necessary for certain applications which break with
104 mandatory lock behavior such as Evolution), and also mount option for
105 requesting case insensitive matching for path based requests (requesting
106 case sensitive is the default).
110 Add writepage performance improvements. Fix path name conversions
111 for long filenames on mounts which were done with "mapchars" mount option
112 specified. Ensure multiplex ids do not collide. Fix case in which
113 rmmod can oops if done soon after last unmount. Fix truncated
114 search (readdir) output when resume filename was a long filename.
115 Fix filename conversion when mapchars mount option was specified and
116 filename was a long filename.
120 Fix error mapping of the TOO_MANY_LINKS (hardlinks) case.
121 Do not oops if root user kills cifs oplock kernel thread or
122 kills the cifsd thread (NB: killing the cifs kernel threads is not
123 recommended, unmount and rmmod cifs will kill them when they are
124 no longer needed). Fix readdir to ASCII servers (ie older servers
125 which do not support Unicode) and also require asterisk.
126 Fix out of memory case in which data could be written one page
127 off in the page cache.
131 Fix caching problem, in which readdir of directory containing a file
132 which was cached could cause the file's time stamp to be updated
133 without invalidating the readahead data (so we could get stale
134 file data on the client for that file even as the server copy changed).
135 Cleanup response processing so cifsd can not loop when abnormally
141 Fix oops in ls when Transact2 FindFirst (or FindNext) returns more than one
142 transact response for an SMB request and search entry split across two frames.
143 Add support for lsattr (getting ext2/ext3/reiserfs attr flags from the server)
144 as new protocol extensions. Do not send Get/Set calls for POSIX ACLs
145 unless server explicitly claims to support them in CIFS Unix extensions
146 POSIX ACL capability bit. Fix packet signing when multiuser mounting with
147 different users from the same client to the same server. Fix oops in
148 cifs_close. Add mount option for remapping reserved characters in
149 filenames (also allow recognizing files with created by SFU which have any
150 of these seven reserved characters, except backslash, to be recognized).
151 Fix invalid transact2 message (we were sometimes trying to interpret
152 oplock breaks as SMB responses). Add ioctl for checking that the
153 current uid matches the uid of the mounter (needed by umount.cifs).
154 Reduce the number of large buffer allocations in cifs response processing
155 (significantly reduces memory pressure under heavy stress with multiple
156 processes accessing the same server at the same time).
160 Fix updates of DOS attributes and time fields so that files on NT4 servers
161 do not get marked delete on close. Display sizes of cifs buffer pools in
162 cifs stats. Fix oops in unmount when cifsd thread being killed by
163 shutdown. Add generic readv/writev and aio support. Report inode numbers
164 consistently in readdir and lookup (when serverino mount option is
165 specified use the inode number that the server reports - for both lookup
166 and readdir, otherwise by default the locally generated inode number is used
167 for inodes created in either path since servers are not always able to
168 provide unique inode numbers when exporting multiple volumes from under one
173 Allow new nouser_xattr mount parm to disable xattr support for user namespace.
174 Do not flag user_xattr mount parm in dmesg. Retry failures setting file time
175 (mostly affects NT4 servers) by retry with handle based network operation.
176 Add new POSIX Query FS Info for returning statfs info more accurately.
177 Handle passwords with multiple commas in them.
181 Fix default mode in sysfs of cifs module parms. Remove old readdir routine.
182 Fix capabilities flags for large readx so as to allow reads larger than 64K.
186 Add module init parm for large SMB buffer size (to allow it to be changed
187 from its default of 16K) which is especially useful for large file copy
188 when mounting with the directio mount option. Fix oops after
189 returning from mount when experimental ExtendedSecurity enabled and
190 SpnegoNegotiated returning invalid error. Fix case to retry better when
191 peek returns from 1 to 3 bytes on socket which should have more data.
192 Fixed path based calls (such as cifs lookup) to handle path names
193 longer than 530 (now can handle PATH_MAX). Fix pass through authentication
194 from Samba server to DC (Samba required dummy LM password).
198 Turn off DNOTIFY (directory change notification support) by default
199 (unless built with the experimental flag) to fix hang with KDE
200 file browser. Fix DNOTIFY flag mappings. Fix hang (in wait_event
201 waiting on an SMB response) in SendReceive when session dies but
202 reconnects quickly from another task. Add module init parms for
203 minimum number of large and small network buffers in the buffer pools,
204 and for the maximum number of simultaneous requests.
208 Add setfacl support to allow setting of ACLs remotely to Samba 3.10 and later
209 and other POSIX CIFS compliant servers. Fix error mapping for getfacl
210 to EOPNOTSUPP when server does not support posix acls on the wire. Fix
211 improperly zeroed buffer in CIFS Unix extensions set times call.
215 Fix internationalization problem in cifs readdir with filenames that map to
216 longer UTF-8 strings than the string on the wire was in Unicode. Add workaround
217 for readdir to netapp servers. Fix search rewind (seek into readdir to return
218 non-consecutive entries). Do not do readdir when server negotiates
219 buffer size to small to fit filename. Add support for reading POSIX ACLs from
220 the server (add also acl and noacl mount options).
224 Optionally allow using server side inode numbers, rather than client generated
225 ones by specifying mount option "serverino" - this is required for some apps
226 to work which double check hardlinked files and have persistent inode numbers.
230 Multiple bigendian fixes. On little endian systems (for reconnect after
231 network failure) fix tcp session reconnect code so we do not try first
232 to reconnect on reverse of port 445. Treat reparse points (NTFS junctions)
233 as directories rather than symlinks because we can do follow link on them.
237 Add config option to enable XATTR (extended attribute) support, mapping
238 xattr names in the "user." namespace space to SMB/CIFS EAs. Lots of
239 minor fixes pointed out by the Stanford SWAT checker (mostly missing
240 or out of order NULL pointer checks in little used error paths).
244 Add new mount parm to control whether mode check (generic_permission) is done
245 on the client. If Unix extensions are enabled and the uids on the client
246 and server do not match, client permission checks are meaningless on
247 server uids that do not exist on the client (this does not affect the
248 normal ACL check which occurs on the server). Fix default uid
249 on mknod to match create and mkdir. Add optional mount parm to allow
250 override of the default uid behavior (in which the server sets the uid
251 and gid of newly created files). Normally for network filesystem mounts
252 user want the server to set the uid/gid on newly created files (rather than
253 using uid of the client processes you would in a local filesystem).
257 Make transaction counts more consistent. Merge /proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps
258 info into /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData. Fix oops in rare oops in readdir
259 (in build_wildcard_path_from_dentry). Fix mknod to pass type field
260 (block/char/fifo) properly. Remove spurious mount warning log entry when
261 credentials passed as mount argument. Set major/minor device number in
262 inode for block and char devices when unix extensions enabled.
266 Fix /proc/fs/cifs/Stats and DebugData display to handle larger
267 amounts of return data. Properly limit requests to MAX_REQ (50
268 is the usual maximum active multiplex SMB/CIFS requests per server).
269 Do not kill cifsd (and thus hurt the other SMB session) when more than one
270 session to the same server (but with different userids) exists and one
271 of the two user's smb sessions is being removed while leaving the other.
272 Do not loop reconnecting in cifsd demultiplex thread when admin
273 kills the thread without going through unmount.
277 Do not rename hardlinked files (since that should be a noop). Flush
278 cached write behind data when reopening a file after session abend,
279 except when already in write. Grab per socket sem during reconnect
280 to avoid oops in sendmsg if overlapping with reconnect. Do not
281 reset cached inode file size on readdir for files open for write on
287 Update number of blocks in file so du command is happier (in Linux a fake
288 blocksize of 512 is required for calculating number of blocks in inode).
289 Fix prepare write of partial pages to read in data from server if possible.
290 Fix race on tcpStatus field between unmount and reconnection code, causing
291 cifsd process sometimes to hang around forever. Improve out of memory
292 checks in cifs_filldir
296 Fix incorrect file size in file handle based setattr on big endian hardware.
297 Fix oops in build_path_from_dentry when out of memory. Add checks for invalid
298 and closing file structs in writepage/partialpagewrite. Add statistics
299 for each mounted share (new menuconfig option). Fix endianness problem in
300 volume information displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData (only affects
301 affects big endian architectures). Prevent renames while constructing
302 path names for open, mkdir and rmdir.
306 Change to mempools for alloc smb request buffers and multiplex structs
307 to better handle low memory problems (and potential deadlocks).
311 Fix incomplete listings of large directories on Samba servers when Unix
312 extensions enabled. Fix oops when smb_buffer can not be allocated. Fix
313 rename deadlock when writing out dirty pages at same time.
317 Fix open of files in which O_CREATE can cause the mode to change in
318 some cases. Fix case in which retry of write overlaps file close.
319 Fix PPC64 build error. Reduce excessive stack usage in smb password
320 hashing. Fix overwrite of Linux user's view of file mode to Windows servers.
324 Fixes for large file copy, signal handling, socket retry, buffer
325 allocation and low memory situations.
329 Better port 139 support to Windows servers (RFC1001/RFC1002 Session_Initialize)
330 also now allowing support for specifying client netbiosname. NT4 support added.
334 Fix reconnection (and certain failed mounts) to properly wake up the
335 blocked users thread so it does not seem hung (in some cases was blocked
336 until the cifs receive timeout expired). Fix spurious error logging
337 to kernel log when application with open network files killed.
341 Fix /proc/fs module unload warning message (that could be logged
342 to the kernel log). Fix intermittent failure in connectathon
343 test7 (hardlink count not immediately refreshed in case in which
344 inode metadata can be incorrectly kept cached when time near zero)
348 Allow file_mode and dir_mode (specified at mount time) to be enforced
349 locally (the server already enforced its own ACLs too) for servers
350 that do not report the correct mode (do not support the
351 CIFS Unix Extensions).
355 Fix some small memory leaks in some unmount error paths. Fix major leak
356 of cache pages in readpages causing multiple read oriented stress
357 testcases (including fsx, and even large file copy) to fail over time.
361 Send NTCreateX with ATTR_POSIX if Linux/Unix extensions negotiated with server.
362 This allows files that differ only in case and improves performance of file
363 creation and file open to such servers. Fix semaphore conflict which causes
364 slow delete of open file to Samba (which unfortunately can cause an oplock
365 break to self while vfs_unlink held i_sem) which can hang for 20 seconds.
369 fixes to cifs_readpages for fsx test case
373 Fix caching data integrity bug when extending file size especially when no
374 oplock on file. Fix spurious logging of valid already parsed mount options
375 that are parsed outside of the cifs vfs such as nosuid.
380 Connect to server when port number override not specified, and tcp port
381 unitialized. Reset search to restart at correct file when kernel routine
382 filldir returns error during large directory searches (readdir).
386 Fix caching problem when files opened by multiple clients in which
387 page cache could contain stale data, and write through did
388 not occur often enough while file was still open when read ahead
389 (read oplock) not allowed. Treat "sep=" when first mount option
390 as an override of comma as the default separator between mount
395 Allow passwords longer than 16 bytes. Allow null password string.
399 Gracefully clean up failed mounts when attempting to mount to servers such as
400 Windows 98 that terminate tcp sessions during protocol negotiation. Handle
401 embedded commas in mount parsing of passwords.
405 Invalidate local inode cached pages on oplock break and when last file
406 instance is closed so that the client does not continue using stale local
407 copy rather than later modified server copy of file. Do not reconnect
408 when server drops the tcp session prematurely before negotiate
409 protocol response. Fix oops in reopen_file when dentry freed. Allow
410 the support for CIFS Unix Extensions to be disabled via proc interface.
414 Fix hang in commit_write during reconnection of open files under heavy load.
415 Fix unload_nls oops in a mount failure path. Serialize writes to same socket
416 which also fixes any possible races when cifs signatures are enabled in SMBs
417 being sent out of signature sequence number order.
421 Fix byte range locking bug (endian problem) causing bad offset and
426 Fix oops (in send_sig) caused by CIFS unmount code trying to
427 wake up the demultiplex thread after it had exited. Do not log
428 error on harmless oplock release of closed handle.
432 Fix unsafe global variable usage and password hash failure on gcc 3.3.1
433 Fix problem reconnecting secondary mounts to same server after session
434 failure. Fix invalid dentry - race in mkdir when directory gets created
435 by another client between the lookup and mkdir.
439 Fix to list processing in reopen_files. Fix reconnection when server hung
440 but tcpip session still alive. Set proper timeout on socket read.
444 Add missing mount options including iocharset. SMP fixes in write and open.
445 Fix errors in reconnecting after TCP session failure. Fix module unloading
446 of default nls codepage
450 Active smb transactions should never go negative (fix double FreeXid). Fix
451 list processing in file routines. Check return code on kmalloc in open.
452 Fix spinlock usage for SMP.
456 Fix oops in reopen_files when invalid dentry. drop dentry on server rename
457 and on revalidate errors. Fix cases where pid is now tgid. Fix return code
458 on create hard link when server does not support them.
462 Fix scheduling while atomic error in getting inode info on newly created file.
463 Fix truncate of existing files opened with O_CREAT but not O_TRUNC set.
467 Fix oops on write to dead tcp session. Remove error log write for case when file open
468 O_CREAT but not O_EXCL
472 Fix non-POSIX behavior on rename of open file and delete of open file by taking
473 advantage of trans2 SetFileInfo rename facility if available on target server.
474 Retry on ENOSPC and EAGAIN socket errors.
478 Fix oops on big endian readdir. Set blksize to be even power of two (2**blkbits) to fix
479 allocation size miscalculation. After oplock token lost do not read through
484 Fix oops on empty file readahead. Fix for file size handling for locally cached files.
488 Fix oops in mkdir when server fails to return inode info. Fix oops in reopen_files
489 during auto reconnection to server after server recovered from failure.
493 Finish support for Linux 2.5 open/create changes, which removes the
494 redundant NTCreate/QPathInfo/close that was sent during file create.
495 Enable oplock by default. Enable packet signing by default (needed to
496 access many recent Windows servers)
500 Fix oops when mounting to long server names caused by inverted parms to kmalloc.
501 Fix MultiuserMount (/proc/fs/cifs configuration setting) so that when enabled
502 we will choose a cifs user session (smb uid) that better matches the local
503 uid if a) the mount uid does not match the current uid and b) we have another
504 session to the same server (ip address) for a different mount which
505 matches the current local uid.
509 Add support for mknod of block or character devices. Fix oplock
510 code (distributed caching) to properly send response to oplock
515 Finish up CIFS packet digital signing for the default
516 NTLM security case. This should help Windows 2003
517 network interoperability since it is common for
518 packet signing to be required now. Fix statfs (stat -f)
519 which recently started returning errors due to
520 invalid value (-1 instead of 0) being set in the
521 struct kstatfs f_ffiles field.
525 Fix oops on stopping oplock thread when removing cifs when
530 Fix mount options for ro (readonly), uid, gid and file and directory mode.
534 Fix errors displayed on failed mounts to be more understandable.
535 Fixed various incorrect or misleading smb to posix error code mappings.
539 Fix display of NTFS DFS junctions to display as symlinks.
540 They are the network equivalent. Fix oops in
541 cifs_partialpagewrite caused by missing spinlock protection
542 of openfile linked list. Allow writebehind caching errors to
543 be returned to the application at file close.
547 Clean up options displayed in /proc/mounts by show_options to
548 be more consistent with other filesystems.
552 Fix delete of readonly file to Windows servers. Reflect
553 presence or absence of read only dos attribute in mode
554 bits for servers that do not support CIFS Unix extensions.
555 Fix shortened results on readdir of large directories to
556 servers supporting CIFS Unix extensions (caused by
557 incorrect resume key).
561 Fix truncate bug (set file size) that could cause hangs e.g. running fsx
565 unload nls if mount fails.
569 Add resume key support to search (readdir) code to workaround
570 Windows bug. Add /proc/fs/cifs/LookupCacheEnable which
571 allows disabling caching of attribute information for
576 Add more oplock handling (distributed caching code). Remove
577 dead code. Remove excessive stack space utilization from
582 Fix oops in get dfs referral (triggered when null path sent in to
583 mount). Add support for overriding rsize at mount time.
587 Fix buffer overrun in readdir which caused intermittent kernel oopses.
588 Fix writepage code to release kmap on write data. Allow "-ip=" new
589 mount option to be passed in on parameter distinct from the first part
590 (server name portion of) the UNC name. Allow override of the
591 tcp port of the target server via new mount option "-port="
595 Fix search handle leak on rewind. Fix setuid and gid so that they are
596 reflected in the local inode immediately. Cleanup of whitespace
597 to make 2.4 and 2.5 versions more consistent.
602 Fix signal sending so that captive thread (cifsd) exits on umount
603 (which was causing the warning in kmem_cache_free of the request buffers
604 at rmmod time). This had broken as a sideeffect of the recent global
605 kernel change to daemonize. Fix memory leak in readdir code which
606 showed up in "ls -R" (and applications that did search rewinding).
610 Reconnect tids and fids after session reconnection (still do not
611 reconnect byte range locks though). Fix problem caching
612 lookup information for directory inodes, improving performance,
613 especially in deep directory trees. Fix various build warnings.
617 Finish fixes to commit write for caching/readahead consistency. fsx
618 now works to Samba servers. Fix oops caused when readahead
619 was interrupted by a signal.
623 Fix data corruption (in partial page after truncate) that caused fsx to
624 fail to Windows servers. Cleaned up some extraneous error logging in
625 common error paths. Add generic sendfile support.
629 Fix memory leak in AllocMidQEntry.
630 Finish reconnection logic, so connection with server can be dropped
631 (or server rebooted) and the cifs client will reconnect.
635 Fix temporary socket leak when bad userid or password specified
636 (or other SMBSessSetup failure). Increase maximum buffer size to slightly
637 over 16K to allow negotiation of up to Samba and Windows server default read
638 sizes. Add support for readpages
642 Fix oops when username not passed in on mount. Extensive fixes and improvements
643 to error logging (strip redundant newlines, change debug macros to ensure newline
644 passed in and to be more consistent). Fix writepage wrong file handle problem,
645 a readonly file handle could be incorrectly used to attempt to write out
646 file updates through the page cache to multiply open files. This could cause
647 the iozone benchmark to fail on the fwrite test. Fix bug mounting two different
648 shares to the same Windows server when using different usernames
649 (doing this to Samba servers worked but Windows was rejecting it) - now it is
650 possible to use different userids when connecting to the same server from a
651 Linux client. Fix oops when treeDisconnect called during unmount on
652 previously freed socket.
656 Fix oops in readpages caused by not setting address space operations in inode in
661 Includes support for deleting of open files and renaming over existing files (per POSIX
662 requirement). Add readlink support for Windows junction points (directory symlinks).
666 Changed read and write to go through pagecache. Added additional address space operations.
667 Memory mapped operations now working.
671 Added writepage code for additional memory mapping support. Fixed leak in xids causing
672 the simultaneous operations counter (/proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps) to increase on
673 every stat call. Additional formatting cleanup.
677 Fix bigendian bug in order of time conversion. Merge 2.5 to 2.4 version. Formatting cleanup.
681 Fixes from Zwane Mwaikambo for adding missing return code checking in a few places.
682 Also included a modified version of his fix to protect global list manipulation of
683 the smb session and tree connection and mid related global variables.
687 Fix problem with captive thread hanging around at unmount time. Adjust to 2.5.42-pre
688 changes to superblock layout. Remove wasteful allocation of smb buffers (now the send
689 buffer is reused for responses). Add more oplock handling. Additional minor cleanup.
693 More stylistic updates to better match kernel style. Add additional statistics
694 for filesystem which can be viewed via /proc/fs/cifs. Add more pieces of NTLMv2
695 and CIFS Packet Signing enablement.
699 Replace call to sleep_on with safer wait_on_event.
700 Make stylistic changes to better match kernel style recommendations.
701 Remove most typedef usage (except for the PDUs themselves).
705 Update mount so the -unc mount option is no longer required (the ip address can be specified
706 in a UNC style device name. Implementation of readpage/writepage started.
710 Fix intermittent problem with incorrect smb header checking on badly
711 fragmented tcp responses
715 Fixes to setting of allocation size and file size.
719 Various 2.5.38 fixes. Now works on 2.5.38
723 Prepare for 2.5 kernel merge. Remove ifdefs.
727 Socket buffer management fixes. Fix dual free.
731 Various big endian fixes for hardlinks and symlinks and also for dfs.
735 Various big endian fixes for servers with Unix extensions such as Samba
739 Various FindNext fixes for incorrect filenames on large directory searches on big endian
740 clients. basic posix file i/o tests now work on big endian machines, not just le
744 SessionSetup and NegotiateProtocol now work from Big Endian machines.
745 Various Big Endian fixes found during testing on the Linux on 390. Various fixes for compatibility with older
746 versions of 2.4 kernel (now builds and works again on kernels at least as early as 2.4.7).
750 Various minor fixes for Connectathon Posix "basic" file i/o test suite. Directory caching fixed so hardlinked
751 files now return the correct number of links on fstat as they are repeatedly linked and unlinked.
755 Implemented "Raw" (i.e. not encapsulated in SPNEGO) NTLMSSP (i.e. the Security Provider Interface used to negotiate
756 session advanced session authentication). Raw NTLMSSP is preferred by Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP.
757 Began implementing support for SPNEGO encapsulation of NTLMSSP based session authentication blobs
758 (which is the mechanism preferred by Windows 2000 server in the absence of Kerberos).
762 Introduced optional mount helper utility mount.cifs and made coreq changes to cifs vfs to enable
763 it. Fixed a few bugs in the DFS code (e.g. bcc two bytes too short and incorrect uid in PDU).
767 Rewrote much of connection and mount/unmount logic to handle bugs with
768 multiple uses to same share, multiple users to same server etc.
772 Fixed major problem with dentry corruption (missing call to dput)
776 Rewrite of readdir code to fix bug. Various fixes for bigendian machines.
777 Begin adding oplock support. Multiusermount and oplockEnabled flags added to /proc/fs/cifs
778 although corresponding function not fully implemented in the vfs yet
782 Fixed dentry caching bug, misc. cleanup
786 Fixed 2.5 support to handle build and configure changes as well as misc. 2.5 changes. Now can build
787 on current 2.5 beta version (2.5.24) of the Linux kernel as well as on 2.4 Linux kernels.
788 Support for STATUS codes (newer 32 bit NT error codes) added. DFS support begun to be added.
792 Unix extensions (symlink, readlink, hardlink, chmod and some chgrp and chown) implemented
793 and tested against Samba 2.2.5
798 1) Fixed lockrange to be correct (it was one byte too short)
800 2) Fixed GETLK (i.e. the fcntl call to test a range of bytes in a file to see if locked) to correctly
801 show range as locked when there is a conflict with an existing lock.
803 3) default file perms are now 2767 (indicating support for mandatory locks) instead of 777 for directories
804 in most cases. Eventually will offer optional ability to query server for the correct perms.
806 3) Fixed eventual trap when mounting twice to different shares on the same server when the first succeeded
807 but the second one was invalid and failed (the second one was incorrectly disconnecting the tcp and smb
810 4) Fixed error logging of valid mount options
812 5) Removed logging of password field.
814 6) Moved negotiate, treeDisconnect and uloggoffX (only tConx and SessSetup remain in connect.c) to cifssmb.c
815 and cleaned them up and made them more consistent with other cifs functions.
817 7) Server support for Unix extensions is now fully detected and FindFirst is implemented both ways
818 (with or without Unix extensions) but FindNext and QueryPathInfo with the Unix extensions are not completed,
819 nor is the symlink support using the Unix extensions
821 8) Started adding the readlink and follow_link code
