A Partial List of Missing Features
==================================
for visible, important contributions to this module. Here
is a partial list of the known problems and missing features:
-a) Support for SecurityDescriptors for chmod/chgrp/chown so
-these can be supported for Windows servers
+a) Support for SecurityDescriptors(Windows/CIFS ACLs) for chmod/chgrp/chown
+so that these operations can be supported to Windows servers
-b) Better pam/winbind integration (e.g. to handle uid mapping
-better)
+b) Mapping POSIX ACLs (and eventually NFSv4 ACLs) to CIFS
+SecurityDescriptors
-c) multi-user mounts - multiplexed sessionsetups over single vc
-(ie tcp session) - more testing needed
+c) Better pam/winbind integration (e.g. to handle uid mapping
+better)
d) Kerberos/SPNEGO session setup support - (started)
using FindNotify or equivalent. - (started)
g) A few byte range testcases fail due to POSIX vs. Windows/CIFS
-style byte range lock differences
+style byte range lock differences. Save byte range locks so
+reconnect can replay them.
-h) quota support
+h) Support unlock all (unlock 0,MAX_OFFSET)
+by unlocking all known byte range locks that we locked on the file.
-j) finish writepages support (multi-page write behind for improved
-performance) and syncpage
+i) quota support (needs minor kernel change since quota calls
+to make it to network filesystems or deviceless filesystems)
+
+j) investigate sync behavior (including syncpage) and check
+for proper behavior of intr/nointr
k) hook lower into the sockets api (as NFS/SunRPC does) to avoid the
extra copy in/out of the socket buffers in some cases.
at a time when 8 pages or more are requested. In conjuntion
add support for async_cifs_readpages.
-p) Add support for storing symlink and fifo info to Windows servers
+p) Add support for storing symlink info to Windows servers
in the Extended Attribute format their SFU clients would recognize.
q) Finish fcntl D_NOTIFY support so kde and gnome file list windows
-will autorefresh (started)
+will autorefresh (partially complete by Asser). Needs minor kernel
+vfs change to support removing D_NOTIFY on a file.
r) Add GUI tool to configure /proc/fs/cifs settings and for display of
the CIFS statistics (started)
-q) implement support for security and trusted categories of xattrs
+s) implement support for security and trusted categories of xattrs
(requires minor protocol extension) to enable better support for SELINUX
-r) Implement O_DIRECT flag on open (already supported on mount)
+t) Implement O_DIRECT flag on open (already supported on mount)
+
+u) Create UID mapping facility so server UIDs can be mapped on a per
+mount or a per server basis to client UIDs or nobody if no mapping
+exists. This is helpful when Unix extensions are negotiated to
+allow better permission checking when UIDs differ on the server
+and client. Add new protocol request to the CIFS protocol
+standard for asking the server for the corresponding name of a
+particular uid.
+
+v) Add support for CIFS Unix and also the newer POSIX extensions to the
+server side for Samba 4.
+
+w) Finish up the dos time conversion routines needed to return old server
+time to the client (default time, of now or time 0 is used now for these
+very old servers)
+
+x) Add support for OS/2 (LANMAN 1.2 and LANMAN2.1 based SMB servers)
-s) Allow remapping of last remaining character (\) to +0xF000 which
-(this character is valid for POSIX but not for Windows)
+y) Finish testing of Windows 9x/Windows ME server support (started).
