      [CIFS] Duplicate data on appending to some Samba servers · cea62343
      Steve French 提交于
      SMB writes are sent with a starting offset and length. When the server
      supports the newer SMB trans2 posix open (rather than using the SMB
      NTCreateX) a file can be opened with SMB_O_APPEND flag, and for that
      case Samba server assumes that the offset sent in SMBWriteX is unneeded
      since the write should go to the end of the file - which can cause
      problems if the write was cached (since the beginning part of a
      page could be written twice by the client mm).  Jeff suggested that
      masking the flag on posix open on the client is easiest for the time
      being. Note that recent Samba server also had an unrelated problem with
      SMB NTCreateX and append (see samba bugzilla bug number 6898) which
      should not affect current Linux clients (unless cifs Unix Extensions
      are disabled).
      
      The cifs client did not send the O_APPEND flag on posix open
      before 2.6.29 so the fix is unneeded on early kernels.
      
      In the future, for the non-cached case (O_DIRECT, and forcedirectio mounts)
      it would be possible and useful to send O_APPEND on posix open (for Windows
      case: FILE_APPEND_DATA but not FILE_WRITE_DATA on SMB NTCreateX) but for
      cached writes although the vfs sets the offset to end of file it
      may fragment a write across pages - so we can't send O_APPEND on
      open (could result in sending part of a page twice).

      [CIFS] fix oops in cifs_lookup during net boot · 8e6c0332
      Steve French 提交于
      Fixes bugzilla.kernel.org bug number 14641
      
      Lookup called during network boot (network root filesystem
      for diskless workstation) has case where nd is null in
      lookup.  This patch fixes that in cifs_lookup.
      
      (Shirish noted that 2.6.30 and 2.6.31 stable need the same check)
