[CIFS] Fix oops in experimental notify code (when CONFIG_CIFS_EXPERIMENTAL
[mirror_ubuntu-artful-kernel.git] / fs / cifs / CHANGES
1 Version 1.38
2 ------------
3 Fix tcp socket retransmission timeouts (e.g. on ENOSPACE from the socket)
4 to be smaller at first (but increasing) so large write performance performance
5 over GigE is better. Do not hang thread on illegal byte range lock response
6 from Windows (Windows can send an RFC1001 size which does not match smb size) by
7 allowing an SMBs TCP length to be up to a few bytes longer than it should be.
8 wsize and rsize can now be larger than negotiated buffer size if server
9 supports large readx/writex, even when directio mount flag not specified.
10 Write size will in many cases now be 16K instead of 4K which greatly helps
11 file copy performance on lightly loaded networks. Fix oops in dnotify
12 when experimental config flag enabled.
13
14 Version 1.37
15 ------------
16 Fix readdir caching when unlink removes file in current search buffer,
17 and this is followed by a rewind search to just before the deleted entry.
18 Do not attempt to set ctime unless atime and/or mtime change requested
19 (most servers throw it away anyway). Fix length check of received smbs
20 to be more accurate. Fix big endian problem with mapchars mount option,
21 and with a field returned by statfs.
22
23 Version 1.36
24 ------------
25 Add support for mounting to older pre-CIFS servers such as Windows9x and ME.
26 For these older servers, add option for passing netbios name of server in
27 on mount (servernetbiosname). Add suspend support for power management, to
28 avoid cifsd thread preventing software suspend from working.
29 Add mount option for disabling the default behavior of sending byte range lock
30 requests to the server (necessary for certain applications which break with
31 mandatory lock behavior such as Evolution), and also mount option for
32 requesting case insensitive matching for path based requests (requesting
33 case sensitive is the default).
34
35 Version 1.35
36 ------------
37 Add writepage performance improvements. Fix path name conversions
38 for long filenames on mounts which were done with "mapchars" mount option
39 specified. Ensure multiplex ids do not collide. Fix case in which
40 rmmod can oops if done soon after last unmount. Fix truncated
41 search (readdir) output when resume filename was a long filename.
42 Fix filename conversion when mapchars mount option was specified and
43 filename was a long filename.
44
45 Version 1.34
46 ------------
47 Fix error mapping of the TOO_MANY_LINKS (hardlinks) case.
48 Do not oops if root user kills cifs oplock kernel thread or
49 kills the cifsd thread (NB: killing the cifs kernel threads is not
50 recommended, unmount and rmmod cifs will kill them when they are
51 no longer needed). Fix readdir to ASCII servers (ie older servers
52 which do not support Unicode) and also require asterisk.
53 Fix out of memory case in which data could be written one page
54 off in the page cache.
55
56 Version 1.33
57 ------------
58 Fix caching problem, in which readdir of directory containing a file
59 which was cached could cause the file's time stamp to be updated
60 without invalidating the readahead data (so we could get stale
61 file data on the client for that file even as the server copy changed).
62 Cleanup response processing so cifsd can not loop when abnormally
63 terminated.
64
65
66 Version 1.32
67 ------------
68 Fix oops in ls when Transact2 FindFirst (or FindNext) returns more than one
69 transact response for an SMB request and search entry split across two frames.
70 Add support for lsattr (getting ext2/ext3/reiserfs attr flags from the server)
71 as new protocol extensions. Do not send Get/Set calls for POSIX ACLs
72 unless server explicitly claims to support them in CIFS Unix extensions
73 POSIX ACL capability bit. Fix packet signing when multiuser mounting with
74 different users from the same client to the same server. Fix oops in
75 cifs_close. Add mount option for remapping reserved characters in
76 filenames (also allow recognizing files with created by SFU which have any
77 of these seven reserved characters, except backslash, to be recognized).
78 Fix invalid transact2 message (we were sometimes trying to interpret
79 oplock breaks as SMB responses). Add ioctl for checking that the
80 current uid matches the uid of the mounter (needed by umount.cifs).
81 Reduce the number of large buffer allocations in cifs response processing
82 (significantly reduces memory pressure under heavy stress with multiple
83 processes accessing the same server at the same time).
84
85 Version 1.31
86 ------------
87 Fix updates of DOS attributes and time fields so that files on NT4 servers
88 do not get marked delete on close. Display sizes of cifs buffer pools in
89 cifs stats. Fix oops in unmount when cifsd thread being killed by
90 shutdown. Add generic readv/writev and aio support. Report inode numbers
91 consistently in readdir and lookup (when serverino mount option is
92 specified use the inode number that the server reports - for both lookup
93 and readdir, otherwise by default the locally generated inode number is used
94 for inodes created in either path since servers are not always able to
95 provide unique inode numbers when exporting multiple volumes from under one
96 sharename).
97
98 Version 1.30
99 ------------
100 Allow new nouser_xattr mount parm to disable xattr support for user namespace.
101 Do not flag user_xattr mount parm in dmesg. Retry failures setting file time
102 (mostly affects NT4 servers) by retry with handle based network operation.
103 Add new POSIX Query FS Info for returning statfs info more accurately.
104 Handle passwords with multiple commas in them.
105
106 Version 1.29
107 ------------
108 Fix default mode in sysfs of cifs module parms. Remove old readdir routine.
109 Fix capabilities flags for large readx so as to allow reads larger than 64K.
110
111 Version 1.28
112 ------------
113 Add module init parm for large SMB buffer size (to allow it to be changed
114 from its default of 16K) which is especially useful for large file copy
115 when mounting with the directio mount option. Fix oops after
116 returning from mount when experimental ExtendedSecurity enabled and
117 SpnegoNegotiated returning invalid error. Fix case to retry better when
118 peek returns from 1 to 3 bytes on socket which should have more data.
119 Fixed path based calls (such as cifs lookup) to handle path names
120 longer than 530 (now can handle PATH_MAX). Fix pass through authentication
121 from Samba server to DC (Samba required dummy LM password).
122
123 Version 1.27
124 ------------
125 Turn off DNOTIFY (directory change notification support) by default
126 (unless built with the experimental flag) to fix hang with KDE
127 file browser. Fix DNOTIFY flag mappings. Fix hang (in wait_event
128 waiting on an SMB response) in SendReceive when session dies but
129 reconnects quickly from another task. Add module init parms for
130 minimum number of large and small network buffers in the buffer pools,
131 and for the maximum number of simultaneous requests.
132
133 Version 1.26
134 ------------
135 Add setfacl support to allow setting of ACLs remotely to Samba 3.10 and later
136 and other POSIX CIFS compliant servers. Fix error mapping for getfacl
137 to EOPNOTSUPP when server does not support posix acls on the wire. Fix
138 improperly zeroed buffer in CIFS Unix extensions set times call.
139
140 Version 1.25
141 ------------
142 Fix internationalization problem in cifs readdir with filenames that map to
143 longer UTF8 strings than the string on the wire was in Unicode. Add workaround
144 for readdir to netapp servers. Fix search rewind (seek into readdir to return
145 non-consecutive entries). Do not do readdir when server negotiates
146 buffer size to small to fit filename. Add support for reading POSIX ACLs from
147 the server (add also acl and noacl mount options).
148
149 Version 1.24
150 ------------
151 Optionally allow using server side inode numbers, rather than client generated
152 ones by specifying mount option "serverino" - this is required for some apps
153 to work which double check hardlinked files and have persistent inode numbers.
154
155 Version 1.23
156 ------------
157 Multiple bigendian fixes. On little endian systems (for reconnect after
158 network failure) fix tcp session reconnect code so we do not try first
159 to reconnect on reverse of port 445. Treat reparse points (NTFS junctions)
160 as directories rather than symlinks because we can do follow link on them.
161
162 Version 1.22
163 ------------
164 Add config option to enable XATTR (extended attribute) support, mapping
165 xattr names in the "user." namespace space to SMB/CIFS EAs. Lots of
166 minor fixes pointed out by the Stanford SWAT checker (mostly missing
167 or out of order NULL pointer checks in little used error paths).
168
169 Version 1.21
170 ------------
171 Add new mount parm to control whether mode check (generic_permission) is done
172 on the client. If Unix extensions are enabled and the uids on the client
173 and server do not match, client permission checks are meaningless on
174 server uids that do not exist on the client (this does not affect the
175 normal ACL check which occurs on the server). Fix default uid
176 on mknod to match create and mkdir. Add optional mount parm to allow
177 override of the default uid behavior (in which the server sets the uid
178 and gid of newly created files). Normally for network filesystem mounts
179 user want the server to set the uid/gid on newly created files (rather than
180 using uid of the client processes you would in a local filesystem).
181
182 Version 1.20
183 ------------
184 Make transaction counts more consistent. Merge /proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps
185 info into /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData. Fix oops in rare oops in readdir
186 (in build_wildcard_path_from_dentry). Fix mknod to pass type field
187 (block/char/fifo) properly. Remove spurious mount warning log entry when
188 credentials passed as mount argument. Set major/minor device number in
189 inode for block and char devices when unix extensions enabled.
190
191 Version 1.19
192 ------------
193 Fix /proc/fs/cifs/Stats and DebugData display to handle larger
194 amounts of return data. Properly limit requests to MAX_REQ (50
195 is the usual maximum active multiplex SMB/CIFS requests per server).
196 Do not kill cifsd (and thus hurt the other SMB session) when more than one
197 session to the same server (but with different userids) exists and one
198 of the two user's smb sessions is being removed while leaving the other.
199 Do not loop reconnecting in cifsd demultiplex thread when admin
200 kills the thread without going through unmount.
201
202 Version 1.18
203 ------------
204 Do not rename hardlinked files (since that should be a noop). Flush
205 cached write behind data when reopening a file after session abend,
206 except when already in write. Grab per socket sem during reconnect
207 to avoid oops in sendmsg if overlapping with reconnect. Do not
208 reset cached inode file size on readdir for files open for write on
209 client.
210
211
212 Version 1.17
213 ------------
214 Update number of blocks in file so du command is happier (in Linux a fake
215 blocksize of 512 is required for calculating number of blocks in inode).
216 Fix prepare write of partial pages to read in data from server if possible.
217 Fix race on tcpStatus field between unmount and reconnection code, causing
218 cifsd process sometimes to hang around forever. Improve out of memory
219 checks in cifs_filldir
220
221 Version 1.16
222 ------------
223 Fix incorrect file size in file handle based setattr on big endian hardware.
224 Fix oops in build_path_from_dentry when out of memory. Add checks for invalid
225 and closing file structs in writepage/partialpagewrite. Add statistics
226 for each mounted share (new menuconfig option). Fix endianness problem in
227 volume information displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData (only affects
228 affects big endian architectures). Prevent renames while constructing
229 path names for open, mkdir and rmdir.
230
231 Version 1.15
232 ------------
233 Change to mempools for alloc smb request buffers and multiplex structs
234 to better handle low memory problems (and potential deadlocks).
235
236 Version 1.14
237 ------------
238 Fix incomplete listings of large directories on Samba servers when Unix
239 extensions enabled. Fix oops when smb_buffer can not be allocated. Fix
240 rename deadlock when writing out dirty pages at same time.
241
242 Version 1.13
243 ------------
244 Fix open of files in which O_CREATE can cause the mode to change in
245 some cases. Fix case in which retry of write overlaps file close.
246 Fix PPC64 build error. Reduce excessive stack usage in smb password
247 hashing. Fix overwrite of Linux user's view of file mode to Windows servers.
248
249 Version 1.12
250 ------------
251 Fixes for large file copy, signal handling, socket retry, buffer
252 allocation and low memory situations.
253
254 Version 1.11
255 ------------
256 Better port 139 support to Windows servers (RFC1001/RFC1002 Session_Initialize)
257 also now allowing support for specifying client netbiosname. NT4 support added.
258
259 Version 1.10
260 ------------
261 Fix reconnection (and certain failed mounts) to properly wake up the
262 blocked users thread so it does not seem hung (in some cases was blocked
263 until the cifs receive timeout expired). Fix spurious error logging
264 to kernel log when application with open network files killed.
265
266 Version 1.09
267 ------------
268 Fix /proc/fs module unload warning message (that could be logged
269 to the kernel log). Fix intermittent failure in connectathon
270 test7 (hardlink count not immediately refreshed in case in which
271 inode metadata can be incorrectly kept cached when time near zero)
272
273 Version 1.08
274 ------------
275 Allow file_mode and dir_mode (specified at mount time) to be enforced
276 locally (the server already enforced its own ACLs too) for servers
277 that do not report the correct mode (do not support the
278 CIFS Unix Extensions).
279
280 Version 1.07
281 ------------
282 Fix some small memory leaks in some unmount error paths. Fix major leak
283 of cache pages in readpages causing multiple read oriented stress
284 testcases (including fsx, and even large file copy) to fail over time.
285
286 Version 1.06
287 ------------
288 Send NTCreateX with ATTR_POSIX if Linux/Unix extensions negotiated with server.
289 This allows files that differ only in case and improves performance of file
290 creation and file open to such servers. Fix semaphore conflict which causes
291 slow delete of open file to Samba (which unfortunately can cause an oplock
292 break to self while vfs_unlink held i_sem) which can hang for 20 seconds.
293
294 Version 1.05
295 ------------
296 fixes to cifs_readpages for fsx test case
297
298 Version 1.04
299 ------------
300 Fix caching data integrity bug when extending file size especially when no
301 oplock on file. Fix spurious logging of valid already parsed mount options
302 that are parsed outside of the cifs vfs such as nosuid.
303
304
305 Version 1.03
306 ------------
307 Connect to server when port number override not specified, and tcp port
308 unitialized. Reset search to restart at correct file when kernel routine
309 filldir returns error during large directory searches (readdir).
310
311 Version 1.02
312 ------------
313 Fix caching problem when files opened by multiple clients in which
314 page cache could contain stale data, and write through did
315 not occur often enough while file was still open when read ahead
316 (read oplock) not allowed. Treat "sep=" when first mount option
317 as an override of comma as the default separator between mount
318 options.
319
320 Version 1.01
321 ------------
322 Allow passwords longer than 16 bytes. Allow null password string.
323
324 Version 1.00
325 ------------
326 Gracefully clean up failed mounts when attempting to mount to servers such as
327 Windows 98 that terminate tcp sessions during protocol negotiation. Handle
328 embedded commas in mount parsing of passwords.
329
330 Version 0.99
331 ------------
332 Invalidate local inode cached pages on oplock break and when last file
333 instance is closed so that the client does not continue using stale local
334 copy rather than later modified server copy of file. Do not reconnect
335 when server drops the tcp session prematurely before negotiate
336 protocol response. Fix oops in reopen_file when dentry freed. Allow
337 the support for CIFS Unix Extensions to be disabled via proc interface.
338
339 Version 0.98
340 ------------
341 Fix hang in commit_write during reconnection of open files under heavy load.
342 Fix unload_nls oops in a mount failure path. Serialize writes to same socket
343 which also fixes any possible races when cifs signatures are enabled in SMBs
344 being sent out of signature sequence number order.
345
346 Version 0.97
347 ------------
348 Fix byte range locking bug (endian problem) causing bad offset and
349 length.
350
351 Version 0.96
352 ------------
353 Fix oops (in send_sig) caused by CIFS unmount code trying to
354 wake up the demultiplex thread after it had exited. Do not log
355 error on harmless oplock release of closed handle.
356
357 Version 0.95
358 ------------
359 Fix unsafe global variable usage and password hash failure on gcc 3.3.1
360 Fix problem reconnecting secondary mounts to same server after session
361 failure. Fix invalid dentry - race in mkdir when directory gets created
362 by another client between the lookup and mkdir.
363
364 Version 0.94
365 ------------
366 Fix to list processing in reopen_files. Fix reconnection when server hung
367 but tcpip session still alive. Set proper timeout on socket read.
368
369 Version 0.93
370 ------------
371 Add missing mount options including iocharset. SMP fixes in write and open.
372 Fix errors in reconnecting after TCP session failure. Fix module unloading
373 of default nls codepage
374
375 Version 0.92
376 ------------
377 Active smb transactions should never go negative (fix double FreeXid). Fix
378 list processing in file routines. Check return code on kmalloc in open.
379 Fix spinlock usage for SMP.
380
381 Version 0.91
382 ------------
383 Fix oops in reopen_files when invalid dentry. drop dentry on server rename
384 and on revalidate errors. Fix cases where pid is now tgid. Fix return code
385 on create hard link when server does not support them.
386
387 Version 0.90
388 ------------
389 Fix scheduling while atomic error in getting inode info on newly created file.
390 Fix truncate of existing files opened with O_CREAT but not O_TRUNC set.
391
392 Version 0.89
393 ------------
394 Fix oops on write to dead tcp session. Remove error log write for case when file open
395 O_CREAT but not O_EXCL
396
397 Version 0.88
398 ------------
399 Fix non-POSIX behavior on rename of open file and delete of open file by taking
400 advantage of trans2 SetFileInfo rename facility if available on target server.
401 Retry on ENOSPC and EAGAIN socket errors.
402
403 Version 0.87
404 ------------
405 Fix oops on big endian readdir. Set blksize to be even power of two (2**blkbits) to fix
406 allocation size miscalculation. After oplock token lost do not read through
407 cache.
408
409 Version 0.86
410 ------------
411 Fix oops on empty file readahead. Fix for file size handling for locally cached files.
412
413 Version 0.85
414 ------------
415 Fix oops in mkdir when server fails to return inode info. Fix oops in reopen_files
416 during auto reconnection to server after server recovered from failure.
417
418 Version 0.84
419 ------------
420 Finish support for Linux 2.5 open/create changes, which removes the
421 redundant NTCreate/QPathInfo/close that was sent during file create.
422 Enable oplock by default. Enable packet signing by default (needed to
423 access many recent Windows servers)
424
425 Version 0.83
426 ------------
427 Fix oops when mounting to long server names caused by inverted parms to kmalloc.
428 Fix MultiuserMount (/proc/fs/cifs configuration setting) so that when enabled
429 we will choose a cifs user session (smb uid) that better matches the local
430 uid if a) the mount uid does not match the current uid and b) we have another
431 session to the same server (ip address) for a different mount which
432 matches the current local uid.
433
434 Version 0.82
435 ------------
436 Add support for mknod of block or character devices. Fix oplock
437 code (distributed caching) to properly send response to oplock
438 break from server.
439
440 Version 0.81
441 ------------
442 Finish up CIFS packet digital signing for the default
443 NTLM security case. This should help Windows 2003
444 network interoperability since it is common for
445 packet signing to be required now. Fix statfs (stat -f)
446 which recently started returning errors due to
447 invalid value (-1 instead of 0) being set in the
448 struct kstatfs f_ffiles field.
449
450 Version 0.80
451 -----------
452 Fix oops on stopping oplock thread when removing cifs when
453 built as module.
454
455 Version 0.79
456 ------------
457 Fix mount options for ro (readonly), uid, gid and file and directory mode.

462 Fixed various incorrect or misleading smb to posix error code mappings.
463
464 Version 0.77
465 ------------
466 Fix display of NTFS DFS junctions to display as symlinks.
467 They are the network equivalent. Fix oops in
468 cifs_partialpagewrite caused by missing spinlock protection
469 of openfile linked list. Allow writebehind caching errors to
470 be returned to the application at file close.
471
472 Version 0.76
473 ------------
474 Clean up options displayed in /proc/mounts by show_options to
475 be more consistent with other filesystems.
476
477 Version 0.75
478 ------------
479 Fix delete of readonly file to Windows servers. Reflect
480 presence or absence of read only dos attribute in mode
481 bits for servers that do not support CIFS Unix extensions.
482 Fix shortened results on readdir of large directories to
483 servers supporting CIFS Unix extensions (caused by
484 incorrect resume key).
485
486 Version 0.74
487 ------------
488 Fix truncate bug (set file size) that could cause hangs e.g. running fsx
489
490 Version 0.73
491 ------------
492 unload nls if mount fails.
493
494 Version 0.72
495 ------------
496 Add resume key support to search (readdir) code to workaround
497 Windows bug. Add /proc/fs/cifs/LookupCacheEnable which
498 allows disabling caching of attribute information for
499 lookups.
500
501 Version 0.71
502 ------------
503 Add more oplock handling (distributed caching code). Remove
504 dead code. Remove excessive stack space utilization from
505 symlink routines.
506
507 Version 0.70
508 ------------
509 Fix oops in get dfs referral (triggered when null path sent in to
510 mount). Add support for overriding rsize at mount time.
511
512 Version 0.69
513 ------------
514 Fix buffer overrun in readdir which caused intermittent kernel oopses.
515 Fix writepage code to release kmap on write data. Allow "-ip=" new
516 mount option to be passed in on parameter distinct from the first part
517 (server name portion of) the UNC name. Allow override of the
518 tcp port of the target server via new mount option "-port="
519
520 Version 0.68
521 ------------
522 Fix search handle leak on rewind. Fix setuid and gid so that they are
523 reflected in the local inode immediately. Cleanup of whitespace
524 to make 2.4 and 2.5 versions more consistent.
525
526
527 Version 0.67
528 ------------
529 Fix signal sending so that captive thread (cifsd) exits on umount
530 (which was causing the warning in kmem_cache_free of the request buffers
531 at rmmod time). This had broken as a sideeffect of the recent global
532 kernel change to daemonize. Fix memory leak in readdir code which
533 showed up in "ls -R" (and applications that did search rewinding).
534
535 Version 0.66
536 ------------
537 Reconnect tids and fids after session reconnection (still do not
538 reconnect byte range locks though). Fix problem caching
539 lookup information for directory inodes, improving performance,
540 especially in deep directory trees. Fix various build warnings.
541
542 Version 0.65
543 ------------
544 Finish fixes to commit write for caching/readahead consistency. fsx
545 now works to Samba servers. Fix oops caused when readahead
546 was interrupted by a signal.
547
548 Version 0.64
549 ------------
550 Fix data corruption (in partial page after truncate) that caused fsx to
551 fail to Windows servers. Cleaned up some extraneous error logging in
552 common error paths. Add generic sendfile support.
553
554 Version 0.63
555 ------------
556 Fix memory leak in AllocMidQEntry.
557 Finish reconnection logic, so connection with server can be dropped
558 (or server rebooted) and the cifs client will reconnect.
559
560 Version 0.62
561 ------------
562 Fix temporary socket leak when bad userid or password specified
563 (or other SMBSessSetup failure). Increase maximum buffer size to slightly
564 over 16K to allow negotiation of up to Samba and Windows server default read
565 sizes. Add support for readpages
566
567 Version 0.61
568 ------------
569 Fix oops when username not passed in on mount. Extensive fixes and improvements
570 to error logging (strip redundant newlines, change debug macros to ensure newline
571 passed in and to be more consistent). Fix writepage wrong file handle problem,
572 a readonly file handle could be incorrectly used to attempt to write out
573 file updates through the page cache to multiply open files. This could cause
574 the iozone benchmark to fail on the fwrite test. Fix bug mounting two different
575 shares to the same Windows server when using different usernames
576 (doing this to Samba servers worked but Windows was rejecting it) - now it is
577 possible to use different userids when connecting to the same server from a
578 Linux client. Fix oops when treeDisconnect called during unmount on
579 previously freed socket.
580
581 Version 0.60
582 ------------
583 Fix oops in readpages caused by not setting address space operations in inode in
584 rare code path.
585
586 Version 0.59

588 Includes support for deleting of open files and renaming over existing files (per POSIX
589 requirement). Add readlink support for Windows junction points (directory symlinks).
590
591 Version 0.58
592 ------------
593 Changed read and write to go through pagecache. Added additional address space operations.
594 Memory mapped operations now working.
595
596 Version 0.57
597 ------------
598 Added writepage code for additional memory mapping support. Fixed leak in xids causing
599 the simultaneous operations counter (/proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps) to increase on
600 every stat call. Additional formatting cleanup.
601
602 Version 0.56
603 ------------
604 Fix bigendian bug in order of time conversion. Merge 2.5 to 2.4 version. Formatting cleanup.
605

610 the smb session and tree connection and mid related global variables.
611
612 Version 0.54
613 ------------
614 Fix problem with captive thread hanging around at unmount time. Adjust to 2.5.42-pre
615 changes to superblock layout. Remove wasteful allocation of smb buffers (now the send
616 buffer is reused for responses). Add more oplock handling. Additional minor cleanup.
617
618 Version 0.53
619 ------------

664 Version 0.43
665 ------------
666 Various FindNext fixes for incorrect filenames on large directory searches on big endian
667 clients. basic posix file i/o tests now work on big endian machines, not just le
668

671 SessionSetup and NegotiateProtocol now work from Big Endian machines.
672 Various Big Endian fixes found during testing on the Linux on 390. Various fixes for compatibility with older
673 versions of 2.4 kernel (now builds and works again on kernels at least as early as 2.4.7).
674
675 Version 0.41
676 ------------
677 Various minor fixes for Connectathon Posix "basic" file i/o test suite. Directory caching fixed so hardlinked
678 files now return the correct number of links on fstat as they are repeatedly linked and unlinked.
679
680 Version 0.40
681 ------------
682 Implemented "Raw" (i.e. not encapsulated in SPNEGO) NTLMSSP (i.e. the Security Provider Interface used to negotiate
683 session advanced session authentication). Raw NTLMSSP is preferred by Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP.
684 Began implementing support for SPNEGO encapsulation of NTLMSSP based session authentication blobs

709 Fixed dentry caching bug, misc. cleanup
710
711 Version 0.33
712 ------------
713 Fixed 2.5 support to handle build and configure changes as well as misc. 2.5 changes. Now can build
714 on current 2.5 beta version (2.5.24) of the Linux kernel as well as on 2.4 Linux kernels.
715 Support for STATUS codes (newer 32 bit NT error codes) added. DFS support begun to be added.
716
717 Version 0.32
718 ------------
719 Unix extensions (symlink, readlink, hardlink, chmod and some chgrp and chown) implemented
720 and tested against Samba 2.2.5
721
722
723 Version 0.31
724 ------------
725 1) Fixed lockrange to be correct (it was one byte too short)
726
727 2) Fixed GETLK (i.e. the fcntl call to test a range of bytes in a file to see if locked) to correctly
728 show range as locked when there is a conflict with an existing lock.
729
730 3) default file perms are now 2767 (indicating support for mandatory locks) instead of 777 for directories
731 in most cases. Eventually will offer optional ability to query server for the correct perms.
732
733 3) Fixed eventual trap when mounting twice to different shares on the same server when the first succeeded
734 but the second one was invalid and failed (the second one was incorrectly disconnecting the tcp and smb
735 session)
736
737 4) Fixed error logging of valid mount options
738
739 5) Removed logging of password field.
740
741 6) Moved negotiate, treeDisconnect and uloggoffX (only tConx and SessSetup remain in connect.c) to cifssmb.c
742 and cleaned them up and made them more consistent with other cifs functions.
743
744 7) Server support for Unix extensions is now fully detected and FindFirst is implemented both ways
745 (with or without Unix extensions) but FindNext and QueryPathInfo with the Unix extensions are not completed,
746 nor is the symlink support using the Unix extensions
747
748 8) Started adding the readlink and follow_link code
