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.

There's no need to have 2 functions to handle sending SMB calls. Turn smb_send into a wrapper around smb_sendv. This also allows us to properly mark the socket as needing to be reconnected when there's a partial send from smb_send.

2009-01-04fs: symlink write_begin allocation context fixNick Piggin
With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the allocations happened. They are done in write_begin, which would always assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim. This bug could cause filesystem deadlocks. The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be called. It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to take the page lock. The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS anyway, so turn that into a single flag. Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Filesystems can now act on this flag in their write_begin function. Change __grab_cache_page to accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there, change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive and does away with random leading underscores). This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg. ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a random example).

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.

2008-12-26cifs: fix wait_for_response to time out sleeping processes correctlyJeff Layton
cifs: fix wait_for_response to time out sleeping processes correctly The current scheme that CIFS uses to sleep and wait for a response is not quite what we want. After sending a request, wait_for_response puts the task to sleep with wait_event(). One of the conditions for wait_event is a timeout (using time_after()). The problem with this is that there is no guarantee that the process will ever be woken back up. If the server stops sending data, then cifs_demultiplex_thread will leave its response queue sleeping. I think the only thing that saves us here is the fact that cifs_dnotify_thread periodically (every 15s) wakes up sleeping processes on all response_q's that have calls in flight. This makes for unnecessary wakeups of some processes. It also means large variability in the timeouts since they're all woken up at once. Instead of this, put the tasks to sleep with wait_event_timeout. This makes them wake up on their own if they time out. With this change, cifs_dnotify_thread should no longer be needed. I've been testing this in conjunction with some other patches that I'm working on. It doesn't seem to affect performance at all with with heavy I/O. Identical iozone -ac runs complete in almost exactly the same time (<1% difference in times). Thanks to Wasrshi Nimara for initially pointing this out.

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.
