2009-04-17[CIFS] Endian convert UniqueId when reporting inode numbers from server filesSteve French
Jeff made a good point that we should endian convert the UniqueId when we use it to set i_ino Even though this value is opaque to the client, when comparing the inode numbers of the same server file from two different clients (one big endian, one little endian) or when we compare a big endian client's view of i_ino with what the server thinks - we should get the same value Signed-off-by: Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>

2009-03-12[CIFS] work around bug in Samba server handling for posix openSteve French
Samba server (version 3.3.1 and earlier, and 3.2.8 and earlier) incorrectly required the O_CREAT flag on posix open (even when a file was not being created). This disables posix open (create is still ok) after the first attempt returns EINVAL (and logs an error, once, recommending that they update their server).

2009-03-12[CIFS] Add new nostrictsync cifs mount option to avoid slow SMB flushSteve French
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>
2009-03-12[CIFS] Send SMB flush in cifs_fsyncSteve French
In contrast to the now-obsolete smbfs, cifs does not send SMB_COM_FLUSH in response to an explicit fsync(2) to guarantee that all volatile data is written to stable storage on the server side, provided the server honors the request (which, to my knowledge, is true for Windows and Samba with 'strict sync' enabled). This patch modifies the cifs_fsync implementation to restore the fsync-behavior of smbfs by triggering SMB_COM_FLUSH after sending outstanding data on the client side to the server.

2009-02-21[CIFS] Fix multiuser mounts so server does not invalidate earlier security ↵Steve French
contexts When two different users mount the same Windows 2003 Server share using CIFS, the first session mounted can be invalidated. Some servers invalidate the first smb session when a second similar user (e.g. two users who get mapped by server to "guest") authenticates an smb session from the same client. By making sure that we set the 2nd and subsequent vc numbers to nonzero values, this ensures that we will not have this problem. Fixes Samba bug 6004, problem description follows: How to reproduce: - configure an "open share" (full permissions to Guest user) on Windows 2003 Server (I couldn't reproduce the problem with Samba server or Windows older than 2003) - mount the share twice with different users who will be authenticated as guest. noacl,noperm,user=john,dir_mode=0700,domain=DOMAIN,rw noacl,noperm,user=jeff,dir_mode=0700,domain=DOMAIN,rw Result: - just the mount point mounted last is accessible: Signed-off-by: Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>
2009-02-21[CIFS] improve posix semantics of file createSteve French
Samba server added support for a new posix open/create/mkdir operation a year or so ago, and we added support to cifs for mkdir to use it, but had not added the corresponding code to file create. The following patch helps improve the performance of the cifs create path (to Samba and servers which support the cifs posix protocol extensions). Using Connectathon basic test1, with 2000 files, the performance improved about 15%, and also helped reduce network traffic (17% fewer SMBs sent over the wire) due to saving a network round trip for the SetPathInfo on every file create. It should also help the semantics (and probably the performance) of write (e.g. when posix byte range locks are on the file) on file handles opened with posix create, and adds support for a few flags which would have to be ignored otherwise.

2008-12-26[CIFS] make sure that DFS pathnames are properly formedSteve French
The paths in a DFS request are supposed to only have a single preceding backslash, but we are sending them with a double backslash. This is exposing a bug in Windows where it also sends a path in the response that has a double backslash. The existing code that builds the mount option string however expects a double backslash prefix in a couple of places when it tries to use the path returned by build_path_from_dentry. Fix compose_mount_options to expect properly formed DFS paths (single backslash at front). Also clean up error handling in that function. There was a possible NULL pointer dereference and situations where a partially built option string would be returned. Tested against Samba 3.0.28-ish server and Samba 3.3 and Win2k8.

2008-12-26[CIFS] Can not mount with prefixpath if root directory of share is inaccessibleSteve French
Windows allows you to deny access to the top of a share, but permit access to a directory lower in the path. With the prefixpath feature of cifs (ie mounting \\server\share\directory\subdirectory\etc.) this should have worked if the user specified a prefixpath which put the root of the mount at a directory to which he had access, but we still were doing a lookup on the root of the share (null path) when we should have been doing it on the prefixpath subdirectory.

2008-12-26[CIFS] add mount option to send mandatory rather than advisory locksSteve French
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.

2008-10-29[CIFS] Reduce number of socket retries in large write pathSteve French
CIFS in some heavy stress conditions cifs could get EAGAIN repeatedly in smb_send2 which led to repeated retries and eventually failure of large writes which could lead to data corruption. There are three changes that were suggested by various network developers: 1) convert cifs from non-blocking to blocking tcp sendmsg (we left in the retry on failure) 2) change cifs to not set sendbuf and rcvbuf size for the socket (let tcp autotune the buffer sizes since that works much better in the TCP stack now) 3) if we have a partial frame sent in smb_send2, mark the tcp session as invalid (close the socket and reconnect) so we do not corrupt the remaining part of the SMB with the beginning of the next SMB. This does not appear to hurt performance measurably and has been run in various scenarios, but it definately removes a corruption that we were seeing in some high stress test cases.

2008-10-23[CIFS] improve setlease handlingSteve French
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>

2008-02-14[CIFS] fixup prefixpaths which contain multiple path componentsSteve French
Currently, when we get a prefixpath as part of mount, the kernel only changes the first character to be a '/' or '\' depending on whether posix extensions are enabled. This is problematic as it expects mount.cifs to pass in the correct delimiter in the rest of the prefixpath. But, mount.cifs may not know *what* the correct delimiter is. It's a chicken and egg problem. Note that mount.cifs should not do conversion of the prefixpath - if we want posix behavior then '\' is legal in a path (and we have had bugs in the distant path to prove to me that customers sometimes have apps that require '\'). The kernel code assumes that the path passed in is posix (and current code will handle the first path component fine but was broken for Windows mounts for "deep" prefixpaths unless the user specified a prefixpath with '\' deep in it. So e.g. with current kernel code: 1) mount to //server/share/dir1 will work to all server types 2) mount to //server/share/dir1/subdir1 will work to Samba 3) mount to //server/share/dir1\\subdir1 will work to Windows But case two would fail to Windows without the fix.

2007-12-31[CIFS] redo existing session setup if needed in cifs_mountJeff Layton
When cifs_mount finds an existing SMB session that it can use for a new mount, it does not check to see whether that session is in need of being reconnected. An easy way to reproduce: 1) mount //server/share1 2) watch /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData for the share to go DISCONNECTED 3) mount //server/share2 with same creds as in step 1. The second mount will fail because CIFSTCon returned -EAGAIN. If you do an operation in share1 and then reattempt the mount it will work (since the session is reestablished). The following patch fixes this by having cifs_mount check the status of the session when it picks an existing session and calling cifs_setup_session on it again if it's in need of reconnection.

2007-11-20[CIFS] Fix potential data corruption when writing out cached dirty pagesJeff Layton
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.

2007-11-09[CIFS] fix oops on second mount to same server when null auth is usedJeff Layton
When a share is mounted using no username, cifs_mount sets volume_info.username as a NULL pointer, and the sesInfo userName as an empty string. The volume_info.username is passed to a couple of other functions to see if there is an existing unc or tcp connection that can be used. These functions assume that the username will be a valid string that can be passed to strncmp. If the pointer is NULL, then the kernel will oops if there's an existing session to which the string can be compared. This patch changes cifs_mount to set volume_info.username to an empty string in this situation, which prevents the oops and should make it so that the comparison to other null auth sessions match.

cifs_demultiplex_thread When kernel_recvmsg returns -EAGAIN or -ERESTARTSYS, then cifs_demultiplex_thread sleeps for a bit and then tries the read again. When it does this, it's not zeroing out the length and that throws off the value of total_read. Fix it to zero out the length. Can cause memory corruption: If kernel_recvmsg returns an error and total_read is a large enough value, then we'll end up going through the loop again. total_read will be a bogus value, as will (pdu_length-total_read). When this happens we end up calling kernel_recvmsg with a bogus value (possibly larger than the current iov_len). At that point, memcpy_toiovec can overrun iov. It will start walking up the stack, casting other things that are there to struct iovecs (since it assumes that it's been passed an array of them). Any pointer on the stack at an address above the kvec is a candidate for corruption here. Many thanks to Ulrich Obergfell for pointing this out.

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.

2007-04-30[CIFS] UID/GID override on CIFS mounts to SambaSteve French
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).
