-------------------------------------

-------------------------------------

Version 1.39

------------

Defer close of a file handle slightly if pending writes depend on that file handle

(this reduces the EBADF bad file handle errors that can be logged under heavy

stress on writes).

Version 1.38

------------

Fix tcp socket retransmission timeouts (e.g. on ENOSPACE from the socket)

to be smaller at first (but increasing) so large write performance performance

over GigE is better.  Do not hang thread on illegal byte range lock response

from Windows (Windows can send an RFC1001 size which does not match smb size) by

allowing an SMBs TCP length to be up to a few bytes longer than it should be.

wsize and rsize can now be larger than negotiated buffer size if server

supports large readx/writex, even when directio mount flag not specified.

Write size will in many cases now be 16K instead of 4K which greatly helps

file copy performance on lightly loaded networks.  Fix oops in dnotify

when experimental config flag enabled. Make cifsFYI more granular.

Version 1.37

------------

Fix readdir caching when unlink removes file in current search buffer,

and this is followed by a rewind search to just before the deleted entry.

Do not attempt to set ctime unless atime and/or mtime change requested

(most servers throw it away anyway). Fix length check of received smbs

to be more accurate. Fix big endian problem with mapchars mount option,

and with a field returned by statfs.

Version 1.36

------------

Add support for mounting to older pre-CIFS servers such as Windows9x and ME.

For these older servers, add option for passing netbios name of server in

on mount (servernetbiosname).  Add suspend support for power management, to

avoid cifsd thread preventing software suspend from working.

Add mount option for disabling the default behavior of sending byte range lock

requests to the server (necessary for certain applications which break with

mandatory lock behavior such as Evolution), and also mount option for

requesting case insensitive matching for path based requests (requesting

case sensitive is the default).

cifsFYI functions as a bit mask. Setting it to 1 enables additional kernel

logging of various informational messages.  2 enables logging of non-zero

SMB return codes while 4 enables logging of requests that take longer

than one second to complete (except for byte range lock requests). 

Setting it to 4 requires defining CONFIG_CIFS_STATS2 manually in the

source code (typically by setting it in the beginning of cifsglob.h),

and setting it to seven enables all three.  Finally, tracing

the start of smb requests and responses can be enabled via:

	echo 1 > /proc/fs/cifs/traceSMB
