Linux 2.6.6-rc3
From: Linus Torvalds
Date: Tue Apr 27 2004 - 21:08:03 EST
s390, cifs, ntfs, ppc, ppc64, cpufreq upates. Oh, and DVB and USB.
I'm hoping to do a final 2.6.6 later this week, so I'm hoping as many
people as possible will test this.
Thanks,
Linus

compiler optimization of unsafe global variable. Remove unsafe
global variable
o Fix problem reconnecting additional mounts to the same server after
session failure.
o Fix invalid dentry when race in mkdir between two clients
o fix oops in send_sig on unmount of cifs vfs due to sending signal
to demultiplex thread after it has exited
o Fix EIO caused by network timeouts on changing file size
o fix to not retime out the same session twice since it can
invalidate the newly reestablished session unnecessarily
o Do not return buffer if request has already timed out
o move bad smb session retry to correct location, up one level in
cifs vfs code
o fix endian bug in lockingX and add retry on EAGAIN
o have to reconnect open files safely, one at a time, as needed

takes too long under heavy stress) to reopen file as needed after
reconnection to server

calls) during reopen of invalidated file handle
o Fix oops in mount error path when unload_nls called with bad
pointer
o Avoid smb data corruption under heavy stress
o missing message on timed out requests
o rcvtimeout set improperly for some cifs servers
o invalidate locally cached pages when server breaks oplock. Do not
loop reconnecting for servers that drop tcp session rather than
sending smb negprot response
o Oops on reopen files when dentry already freed
o invalidate cached pages when last local instance closed so we do
not use stale data while someone may be modifying the file on the
server.
o fix double incrementing of transaction counter
o Fix check of filldir return code during readdir to avoid incomplete
search results displayed on very large directories. Fix cleanup of
proc entries. Add config parm to allow disabling negotiating Linux
extensions
o allow disabling cifs Linux extensions via proc
o Fix an incorrect mapping of open flags to cifs open disposition.
Fix blocking byte range locks. These fix breakages that were
notice running lock tests 1 and 7 of the connectathon posix file
api tests
o set byte range locktimeouts properly
o fix cifs readme
o gracefully exit on failed mounts to win98 (which closes tcp session
rather than erroring on smb protocol negotiation)
o fix failed mounts to win98 part II
o Fix global kernel name space pollution
o Check return on failed dentry allocation. Suggested by Randy
Dunlap
o Allow null password string pointer and passwords longer than 16
bytes
o finish handling commas in passwords
o finish off mount parm sep override
o Fix caching problem with multiply open files from different clients
o Relax requested CIFS permissions on open to simply request
GENERIC_READ and GENERIC_WRITE (instead of GENERIC_ALL which can
unnecessarily conflict with share permissions by asking implicitly
for take ownership and other unneeded flags)
o fix remoting caching part 2
o remove spurious debug messages
o fix problem not connecting to server when port not specified
explicitly and port field unitialized
o reset searches properly when filldir fails
o ipv6 enablement for cifs vfs fixes

filename is in unicode

specified

o fixes for fsx truncate/readahead/writebehind bug
o clean up compiler warnings
o Add missing description about how to specify credentials file
o Invalidate readahead data properly when file closed, but other
client changed it on server
o Send NTCreateX with ATTR_POSIX if Linux/Unix extensions negotiated
with server. This allows files that differ only in case and
improves performance of file creation and file open to such servers
o Fix 20 second hang on some deletes of reopened file due to
semaphore conflict with vfs_delete on i_sem
o fix merge problem with 2.6.5 (rename of page struct field list to
lru)
o Fix misc. minor memory leaks in error paths
o free cifs read buffer on retry
o Fix major page leak in read code caused by extra page_cache_get
call
o check permission locally for servers that do not support the CIFS
Unix Extensions (allowing file_mode and dir_mode to augment the
server permission check, by doing local vfs_permission check)
o Remove 64 bit compiler warning
o Remove "badness in remove_proc_entry" warning logged on module
unload of cifs
o Add in cifs fcntl handling to fix remote dnotify problem
o Do not cache inode metadata when cache time set to 0 (fix hardlink
count caching)
o Retry 2nd time after failure on correct port
o RFC1002 fixup
o exit from waiting on smb response when session dead
o Update change log for 1.10 cifs vfs
o proper rc on host down
o fix error code mapping on bad host
o fix timeout on close operation when pending signal
o do not allow routine user signals to kill SendReceive wait for
response (which was damaging performance badly)
