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