cifs: Add mount options for backup intent (try #6)

2011-10-13T04:42:17Z

Add mount options backupuid and backugid. It allows an authenticated user to access files with the intent to back them up including their ACLs, who may not have access permission but has "Backup files and directories user right" on them (by virtue of being part of the built-in group Backup Operators. When mount options backupuid is specified, cifs client restricts the use of backup intents to the user whose effective user id is specified along with the mount option. When mount options backupgid is specified, cifs client restricts the use of backup intents to the users whose effective user id belongs to the group id specified along with the mount option. If an authenticated user is not part of the built-in group Backup Operators at the server, access to such files is denied, even if allowed by the client.

cifs: clean up checkSMB

2011-10-13T04:41:36Z

The variable names in this function are so ambiguous that it's very difficult to know what it's doing. Rename them to make it a bit more clear. Also, remove a redundant length check. cifsd checks to make sure that the rfclen isn't larger than the maximum frame size when it does the receive. Finally, change checkSMB to return a real error code (-EIO) when it finds an error. That will help simplify some coming changes in the callers. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton Signed-off-by: Steve French

cifs: simplify refcounting for oplock breaks

2011-07-31T21:21:20Z

Currently, we take a sb->s_active reference and a cifsFileInfo reference when an oplock break workqueue job is queued. This is unnecessary and more complicated than it needs to be. Also as Al points out, deactivate_super has non-trivial locking implications so it's best to avoid that if we can. Instead, just cancel any pending oplock breaks for this filehandle synchronously in cifsFileInfo_put after taking it off the lists. That should ensure that this job doesn't outlive the structures it depends on. Reported-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton Signed-off-by: Steve French

cifs: keep BCC in little-endian format

2011-05-19T14:10:53Z

This is the same patch as originally posted, just with some merge conflicts fixed up... Currently, the ByteCount is usually converted to host-endian on receive. This is confusing however, as we need to keep two sets of routines for accessing it, and keep track of when to use each routine. Munging received packets like this also limits when the signature can be calulated. Simplify the code by keeping the received ByteCount in little-endian format. This allows us to eliminate a set of routines for accessing it and we can now drop the *_le suffixes from the accessor functions since that's now implied. While we're at it, switch all of the places that read the ByteCount directly to use the get_bcc inline which should also clean up some unaligned accesses.

consistently use smb_buf_length as be32 for cifs (try 3)

2011-05-19T14:10:51Z

There is one big endian field in the cifs protocol, the RFC1001 length, which cifs code (unlike in the smb2 code) had been handling as u32 until the last possible moment, when it was converted to be32 (its native form) before sending on the wire. To remove the last sparse endian warning, and to make this consistent with the smb2 implementation (which always treats the fields in their native size and endianness), convert all uses of smb_buf_length to be32. This version incorporates Christoph's comment about using be32_add_cpu, and fixes a typo in the second version of the patch.

cifs: fix broken BCC check in is_valid_oplock_break

2011-04-12T00:54:30Z

The BCC is still __le16 at this point, and in any case we need to use the get_bcc_le macro to make sure we don't hit alignment problems. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton Signed-off-by: Steve French

Allow user names longer than 32 bytes

2011-04-12T00:42:06Z

We artificially limited the user name to 32 bytes, but modern servers handle larger. Set the maximum length to a reasonable 256, and make the user name string dynamically allocated rather than a fixed size in session structure. Also clean up old checkpatch warning. Signed-off-by: Steve French

cifs: fix length checks in checkSMB

2011-01-31T22:35:37Z

The cERROR message in checkSMB when the calculated length doesn't match the RFC1001 length is incorrect in many cases. It always says that the RFC1001 length is bigger than the SMB, even when it's actually the reverse. Fix the error message to say the reverse of what it does now when the SMB length goes beyond the end of the received data. Also, clarify the error message when the RFC length is too big. Finally, clarify the comments to show that the 512 byte limit on extra data at the end of the packet is arbitrary. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton Signed-off-by: Steve French

cifs: force a reconnect if there are too many MIDs in flight

2011-01-31T04:38:15Z

Currently, we allow the pending_mid_q to grow without bound with SIGKILL'ed processes. This could eventually be a DoS'able problem. An unprivileged user could a process that does a long-running call and then SIGKILL it. If he can also intercept the NT_CANCEL calls or the replies from the server, then the pending_mid_q could grow very large, possibly even to 2^16 entries which might leave GetNextMid in an infinite loop. Fix this by imposing a hard limit of 32k calls per server. If we cross that limit, set the tcpStatus to CifsNeedReconnect to force cifsd to eventually reconnect the socket and clean out the pending_mid_q. While we're at it, clean up the function a bit and eliminate an unnecessary NULL pointer check. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton Reviewed-by: Shirish Pargaonkar Signed-off-by: Steve French
