[Samba] ANNOUNCE: cifs-utils release 4.6 available for download
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
It has been a while since I've cut a new release for cifs-utils. This
one has more visible changes than were in the last few releases. Major
highlights:
- - documentation additions for the fsc option
- - mount.cifs deals with _netdev, mand and nomand options correctly now
- - a change in how mount.cifs handles the MS_MANDLOCK flag. It used to
set it by default and you had to specify "nolock" or
"nobrl" to turn
it off. Now, it's off by default and you need to specify the
"mand"
option to turn it on. This is more in line with how other filesystems
deal with mandatory locking. In practice, we hardly ever want the
kernel to enforce mandatory locking -- the server deals with that.
- - cifs.upcall will now preferentially use the creduid= upcall option
rather than uid=. This makes mounting with krb5 work more as expected.
The credcache is now always expected to be owned by the real uid
of the mount process, rather than the value in the uid= option. A
command-line option is provided for those who need legacy behavior.

cifs.upcall: swap c99 initializers for memset calls
gcc says:
cifs.upcall.c: In function ?cifs_krb5_get_req?:
cifs.upcall.c:261:2: warning: missing initializer
cifs.upcall.c:261:2: warning: (near initialization for ?in_creds.client?)
cifs.upcall.c: In function ?main?:
cifs.upcall.c:622:9: warning: missing initializer
cifs.upcall.c:622:9: warning: (near initialization for ?arg.ver?)
...this is probably just gcc being balky, but we can silence the
warning. It may also be a micro optimization in an error condition
if we delay zeroing out the struct until it's needed.

mount.cifs: handle the "mand" and "nomand" mount options
(try #2)
These are filesystem-independent mount options that get passed to
mount.cifs too. Handle them appropriately by enabling and disabling
MS_MANDLOCK and not handing them off to the kernel.
Also, don't set MS_MANDLOCK by default. There's no reason to ask the
kernel to enforce mandatory locking by default. This also matches
up better with the way that "mand" is set in the mtab.

mount.cifs: ignore the "_netdev" mount option
This mount options is used to clue in init scripts that the filesystem
shouldn't be mounted until networking is available. /bin/mount also
passes
that option to the filesystem however, and cifs currently chokes on it.
mount.nfs ignores this option -- have mount.cifs do the same.

cifs.upcall: require a uid= or creduid= parm
Even though all known kernels send the uid= parm to userspace,
cifs.upcall doesn't technically require it. It should though. If one
wasn't sent for some reason, then the setuid wouldn't occur. Error
out
if there is no uid= or creduid= parm.

cifs.upcall: use "creduid=" parm by default when available
When I did the original krb5 implementation, I goofed and ended up making
it so that when someone specifies the "uid=" mount option that
also affects
the owner of the krb5 credential cache and not just the ownership of the
mount. I'm proposing a patch for the kernel to attempt to fix this by
making the kernel send a "creduid=" parameter in the upcall which
is
intended to be the user that should own the credentials cache.
That's not necessarily the same user that has "ownership" of
the mount.
Usually the creduid= will be set to the real uid of the user doing the
want it to behave like it used to.

mount.cifs: switch to using _PATH_MNTTAB and paths.h
The code currently uses fstab.h and _PATH_FSTAB, but uClibc apparently
doesn't have that header. It does have paths.h and _PATH_MNTTAB however
and so does glibc, so use that instead.
Fixes samba bug #7539.
