| |
Hello
Patch vs pre1 but also applies vs pre2:
http://www.hojdpunkten.ac.se/054/samba/smbfs-2.2.18-pre1.patch.gz
Changes are mostly from 2.4.0-test7: * proc.c: add back lanman2 support (OS/2 and others) * proc.c: check length of paths to avoid buffer overflow * proc.c: don't do interruptable_sleep in smb_retry to avoid signal problem/race. * proc.c: O_RDONLY & smb_revalidate_inode fix (tail -f) * proc.c: add nls support * sock.c: attempt to fix smb_data_callback (avoid infinite loop)
The lanman2 is a partial undo of some changes made for 2.2.16 that caused problems for OS/2 users.
"attempt to fix" should perhaps now be "appears to fix". A problem with lockups (infinite loop with BKL held?) that appears to go away. But the debug outputs haven't told us why. Doing while(1) after a lock_kernel() seems dangerous anyway.
