On mount, "sec=ntlmssp" can now be specified to allow "rawntlmssp" security to be enabled during CIFS session establishment/authentication (ntlmssp used to require specifying krb5 which was counterintuitive). Signed-off-by: Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>
2009-03-12[CIFS] Add new nostrictsync cifs mount option to avoid slow SMB flushSteve French1-4/+18
If this mount option is set, when an application does an fsync call then the cifs client does not send an SMB Flush to the server (to force the server to write all dirty data for this file immediately to disk), although cifs still sends all dirty (cached) file data to the server and waits for the server to respond to the write write. Since SMB Flush can be very slow, and some servers may be reliable enough (to risk delaying slightly flushing the data to disk on the server), turning on this option may be useful to improve performance for applications that fsync too much, at a small risk of server crash. If this mount option is not set, by default cifs will send an SMB flush request (and wait for a response) on every fsync call. Signed-off-by: Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>
2008-12-26[CIFS] add mount option to send mandatory rather than advisory locksSteve French1-1/+11
Some applications/subsystems require mandatory byte range locks (as is used for Windows/DOS/OS2 etc). Sending advisory (posix style) byte range lock requests (instead of mandatory byte range locks) can lead to problems for these applications (which expect that other clients be prevented from writing to portions of the file which they have locked and are updating). This mount option allows mounting cifs with the new mount option "forcemand" (or "forcemandatorylock") in order to have the cifs client use mandatory byte range locks (ie SMB/CIFS/Windows/NTFS style locks) rather than posix byte range lock requests, even if the server would support posix byte range lock requests. This has no effect if the server does not support the CIFS Unix Extensions (since posix style locks require support for the CIFS Unix Extensions), but for mounts to Samba servers this can be helpful for Wine and applications that require mandatory byte range locks.

2008-10-23[CIFS] improve setlease handlingSteve French1-0/+16
fcntl(F_SETLEASE) currently is not exported by cifs (nor by local file systems) so cifs grants leases based on how other local processes have opened the file not by whether the file is cacheable (oplocked). This adds the check to make sure that the file is cacheable on the client before checking whether we can grant the lease locally (generic_setlease). It also adds a mount option for cifs (locallease) if the user wants to override this and try to grant leases even if the server did not grant oplock. Signed-off-by: Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>
2008-10-16[CIFS] Add nodfs mount optionSteve French1-0/+3
Older samba server (eg. 3.0.24 from Debian etch) don't work correctly, if DFS paths are used. Such server claim that they support DFS, but fail to process some requests with DFS paths. Starting with Linux 2.6.26, the cifs clients starts sending DFS paths in such situations, rendering it unuseable with older samba servers. The nodfs mount options forces a share to be used with non DFS paths, even if the server claims, that it supports it.

2007-11-20[CIFS] Fix potential data corruption when writing out cached dirty pagesJeff Layton1-15/+12
Fix RedHat bug 329431 The idea here is separate "conscious" from "unconscious" flushes. Conscious flushes are those due to a fsync() or close(). Unconscious ones are flushes that occur as a side effect of some other operation or due to memory pressure. Currently, when an error occurs during an unconscious flush (ENOSPC or EIO), we toss out the page and don't preserve that error to report to the user when a conscious flush occurs. If after the unconscious flush, there are no more dirty pages for the inode, the conscious flush will simply return success even though there were previous errors when writing out pages. This can lead to data corruption. The easiest way to reproduce this is to mount up a CIFS share that's very close to being full or where the user is very close to quota. mv a file to the share that's slightly larger than the quota allows. The writes will all succeed (since they go to pagecache). The mv will do a setattr to set the new file's attributes. This calls filemap_write_and_wait, which will return an error since all of the pages can't be written out. Then later, when the flush and release ops occur, there are no more dirty pages in pagecache for the file and those operations return 0. mv then assumes that the file was written out correctly and deletes the original. CIFS already has a write_behind_rc variable where it stores the results from earlier flushes, but that value is only reported in cifs_close. Since the VFS ignores the return value from the release operation, this isn't helpful. We should be reporting this error during the flush operation. This patch does the following: 1) changes cifs_fsync to use filemap_write_and_wait and cifs_flush and also sync to check its return code. If it returns successful, they then check the value of write_behind_rc to see if an earlier flush had reported any errors. If so, they return that error and clear write_behind_rc. 2) sets write_behind_rc in a few other places where pages are written out as a side effect of other operations and the code waits on them. 3) changes cifs_setattr to only call filemap_write_and_wait for ATTR_SIZE changes. 4) makes cifs_writepages accurately distinguish between EIO and ENOSPC errors when writing out pages. Some simple testing indicates that the patch works as expected and that it fixes the reproduceable known problem.

2007-05-05[CIFS] Make sec=none force an anonymous mountJeff Layton1-3/+17
We had a customer report that attempting to make CIFS mount with a null username (i.e. doing an anonymous mount) doesn't work. Looking through the code, it looks like CIFS expects a NULL username from userspace in order to trigger an anonymous mount. The mount.cifs code doesn't seem to ever pass a null username to the kernel, however. It looks also like the kernel can take a sec=none option, but it only seems to look at it if the username is already NULL. This seems redundant and effectively makes sec=none useless. The following patch makes sec=none force an anonymous mount. Signed-off-by: Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>
2007-04-30[CIFS] UID/GID override on CIFS mounts to SambaSteve French1-9/+14
When CIFS Unix Extensions are negotiated we get the Unix uid and gid owners of the file from the server (on the Unix Query Path Info levels), but if the server's uids don't match the client uid's users were having to disable the Unix Extensions (which turned off features they still wanted). The changeset patch allows users to override uid and/or gid for file/directory owner with a default uid and/or gid specified at mount (as is often done when mounting from Linux cifs client to Windows server). This changeset also displays the uid and gid used by default in /proc/mounts (if applicable). Also cleans up code by adding some of the missing spaces after "if" keywords per-kernel style guidelines (as suggested by Randy Dunlap when he reviewed the patch).

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
