[CIFS] Do not attempt to close invalidated file handles

2008-11-20T20:14:13Z

If a connection with open file handles has gone down and come back up and reconnected without reopening the file handle yet, do not attempt to send an SMB close request for this handle in cifs_close. We were checking for the connection being invalid in cifs_close but since the connection may have been reconnected we also need to check whether the file handle was marked invalid (otherwise we could close the wrong file handle by accident).

cifs: reinstate sharing of tree connections

2008-11-17T03:14:12Z

Use a similar approach to the SMB session sharing. Add a list of tcons attached to each SMB session. Move the refcount to non-atomic. Protect all of the above with the cifs_tcp_ses_lock. Add functions to properly find and put references to the tcons. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton Signed-off-by: Steve French

cifs: reinstate sharing of SMB sessions sans races

2008-11-14T23:56:55Z

We do this by abandoning the global list of SMB sessions and instead moving to a per-server list. This entails adding a new list head to the TCP_Server_Info struct. The refcounting for the cifsSesInfo is moved to a non-atomic variable. We have to protect it by a lock anyway, so there's no benefit to making it an atomic. The list and refcount are protected by the global cifs_tcp_ses_lock. The patch also adds a new routines to find and put SMB sessions and that properly take and put references under the lock.

[CIFS] cifs: remove pointless lock and unlock of GlobalMid_Lock in header_assemble

2008-10-12T13:34:11Z

We lock GlobalMid_Lock in header_assemble and then immediately unlock it again without doing anything. Not sure what this was intended to do, but remove it. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton Signed-off-by: Steve French

cifs: don't use GFP_KERNEL with GFP_NOFS

2008-09-22T22:23:56Z

GFP_KERNEL and GFP_NOFS are mutually exclusive. If you combine them, you end up with plain GFP_KERNEL which can deadlock in cases where you really want GFP_NOFS. Cc: Steve French Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg Signed-off-by: Steve French

[CIFS] CIFS support for named pipes (part 1)

2007-09-28T22:28:55Z

This allows cifs to mount to ipc shares (IPC$) which will allow user space applications to layer over authenticated cifs connections (useful for Wine and others that would want to put DCE/RPC over CIFS or run CIFS named pipes) Acked-by: Rob Shearman Signed-off-by: Steve French
