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>

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.

2008-11-14CRED: Wrap task credential accesses in the CIFS filesystemDavid Howells
Wrap access to task credentials so that they can be separated more easily from the task_struct during the introduction of COW creds. Change most current->(|e|s|fs)[ug]id to current_(|e|s|fs)[ug]id(). Change some task->e?[ug]id to task_e?[ug]id(). In some places it makes more sense to use RCU directly rather than a convenient wrapper; these will be addressed by later patches.

2008-05-12[CIFS] CIFS currently allows for permissions to be changed on files, evenJeff Layton
when unix extensions and cifsacl support are disabled. These permissions changes are "ephemeral" however. They are lost whenever a share is mounted and unmounted, or when memory pressure forces the inode out of the cache. Because of this, we'd like to introduce a behavior change to make CIFS behave more like local DOS/Windows filesystems. When unix extensions and cifsacl support aren't enabled, then don't silently ignore changes to permission bits that can't be reflected on the server. Still, there may be people relying on the current behavior for certain applications. This patch adds a new "dynperm" (and a corresponding "nodynperm") mount option that will be intended to make the client fall back to legacy behavior when setting these modes.

2007-07-13[CIFS] whitespace/formatting fixesSteve French
This should be the last big batch of whitespace/formatting fixes. checkpatch warnings for the cifs directory are down about 90% and many of the remaining ones are harder to remove or make the code harder to read. Signed-off-by: Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>
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).

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!
