Since 1.5.20
-* changed the enum values for cm_serverRef_t state info to use a
- private name space to avoid collisions (srv_)
-
-* added a srv_deleted state for cm_serverRef_t objects. This
- state is set when cm_FreeServerList() is called with the
- CM_FREESERVERLIST_DELETE flag set. cm_FreeServerList() may
- not always delete the cm_serverRef_t from the list if it is
- still in use by another thread. the srv_deleted state means
- the object's contents are no longer valid and it must be
- skipped. It will be deleted the next time the object is
- freed and the refcount hits zero.
-
-* the srv_deleted state is also used when a file server reports
- either VNOVOL or VMOVED instead of marking the cm_serverRef_t
- as offline. This is done to prevent additional usage of the
- stale vldb data while waiting for the update volume request
- to complete.
-
-* added a state field to the cm_volume_t object (enum volstate
- vl_ name space) that maintains the state of the volume based
- upon the states of all of the cm_serverRef_t and cm_server_t
- objects.
-
-* modified cm_UpdateVolume() to set the state of the cm_volume_t
- RW, RO, and BK to either vl_alldown or vl_online. There can't
- be any other states because cm_UpdateVolume() destroys any
- previous knowledge we might have had regarding busy or offline
- volume status
-
-* modified cm_UpdateVolume() to update the volume name in the
- cm_volume_t to the volume base name if the previous value was
- a volume ID.
-
-* modified cm_FollowMountPoint() to check to see if the volume
- name is a volume ID and if so call cm_GetVolumeByID instead
- of cm_GetVolumeByName. This ensures that volume IDs are always
- looked up as numeric values. There is no longer a need to
- maintain a separate cm_volume_t containing the string representation
- of the ID value.
-
-* Added a flags parameter to cm_GetVolumeByName() and cm_GetVolumeByID().
- The first flag is a "CREATE" flag which is set by all existing
- calls. The flag is not set by calls to cm_GetVolumeByID() from
- the server probe code when volume status is being updated. We
- do not want the server probe operation to result in additional
- turnover in the cached volume data. The second flag is NO_LRU_UPDATE
- which is set when the server probe code updates the volume status.
- This flag will be used to prevent the server probe operation from
- changing the order of the least recently used queue.
-
-* Modified cm_GetVolumeByName to ensure that only one cm_volume_t is
- allocated for a given set of normal, readonly, and backup volumes
- regardless of whether or not the volume is accessed via name or
- ID number. The cm_volume_t namep field is always the base name
- of the volume.
-
-* Added a new volume state, vl_unknown. This state is used as
- the initial state for all cm_volume_t when the cache manager starts,
- for each cm_volume_t at creation, and for each cm_volume_t when
- recycling. The cache manager does not know the state of all
- volumes in the world, only those that are in the cache and for
- which it has queried the VLDB and hosting file servers.
-
-* modified cm_GetVolumeByName() to initialize the state of a
- volume to vl_unknown. The actual state will be set when a
- cm_VolumeUpdate() call completes successfully.
-
-* changed name of scache hash table variables to avoid ambiguity
- when adding hash tables for volumes
-
-* fix a buffer overrun in sys\pioctl_nt.c pioctl().
-
-* modified cm_UpdateVolume() to handle the case in which there is
- no RW volume but there is are RO volumes for a given base name.
- This is done by querying for the ".readonly" volume name if the
- base name does not exist in the VLDB. We never query for the
- .backup name because under the current usage model a .backup
- volume may only exist on the server that the read-write volume
- is located. If there is no RW volume, there can be no .backup.
-
-* Added four hash tables for cm_volume_t objects to improve the
- search time of cm_GetVolumeByID(), cm_GetVolumeByName() and
- cm_ForceUpdateVolume(). One each for Name, RWID, ROID, and
- BKID. Three ID hash tables are necessary as long as it is
- desireable to maintain a single cm_volume_t containing all
- of the related RW, RO, and BK volume data. Having the RW and
- RO volume data in the same object is necessary for the
- implementation of cm_GetROVolumeID() which returns either the
- RO or RW ID depending upon the existence of RO volume instances.
-
-* Added a volume LRU queue so that volume reuse becomes fairer.
- This does not replace the all Volumes list which is used when
- it is desireable to walk a list of all the volumes whose order
- is not going to change out from underneath you which makes it
- safe to drop the cm_volumeLock.
-
-* handles volume hash table updates where volume name to
- volume ID number changes. The volume name remains
- constant in the cm_volume_t. if a vos rename is performed,
- the name of the volume will change and the volume IDs will be
- updated. Subsequent access to the old volume ID will create a
- new cm_volume_t with the new name.
-
-* Added a daemon thread operation to query the state of volumes
- listed as busy or offline. cm_CheckBusyVolumes() calls
- RXAFS_GetVolumeStatus() for each volume ID that is marked vl_busy
- or vl_offline. If the volume is now online, the status on the
- volume is updated. The default period is 600 seconds. This can
- be configured with the BusyVolumeCheckInterval registry value.
-
-* Added prototype for smb_IoctlPrepareRead() which was missing a
- return type in the function definition.
-
-* Added volume id lists to the cm_server_t. These lists are
- allocated in blocks of ~32 IDs. When a cm_PingServer()
- detects a change in server state, the state of the cm_volume_t
- is updated.
-
-* Added volID to the cm_serverRef_t object. volID is used
- to identify the volume for which the object is a referral.
- cm_FreeServerList() uses the volID to remove the volume
- from the cm_server_t.
-
-* In cm_Analyze, when VNOVOL or VMOVED are received,
- call cm_ForceVolumeUpdate() to force a refresh of the volume
- location data.
-
-* Added cm_VolumeStatusNotification() which is used at the moment
- to log volume status changes to the trace log. It will also
- be used as the access point to the File System Filter driver
- notification engine.
-
-* Added an all cm_scache_t list to cm_data. This replaces the use
- of the stat cache LRU queue when we need to enumerate all
- entries. The LRU list order is not static and when using it to
- enumerate all entries it can result in items being missed or
- items being processed more than once.
-
-* Modified cm_Analyze(). Instead of reseting the busy or offline
- state of a volume and forcing a retry of the operation
- cm_Analyze will defer to the background daemon thread that will
- update the state once every 600 seconds.
-
-* Added the automatic generation of a Freelance ".root" read-write
- mountpoint that refers to the root.afs volume of the workstation
- cellname at the time the mountpoint is created.
-
-* re-write cm_Analyze to make better use of the known volume
- status. VL_Server queries cannot result in CM_ERROR_ALLOFFLINE
- messages.
-
-* renamed cm_CheckBusyVolumes to cm_CheckOfflineVolumes.
- busy volumes will be reset to srv_non_busy by the function
- but there is no mechanism for querying the busy state other
- than by attempting to access the resource.
-
-* cm_Analyze will query the state of an offline volume before
- deciding whether or not to retry when all volume instances
- are offline.
-
-* the algorithm used after an IP address list change detection
- has been modified. we now check the state of the VLDB servers,
- then reset the rx connections, and finally check the state of
- the file servers. Previously we flushed the rx connections
- and then checked the servers in whatever random order they
- were first discovered.
-
-* fix the volume status reported by "fs examine"
-
-* various improvements to the AFS Network Identity Manager Provider.
- - Don't access freed objects after the window has been destroyed.
- - Write back the AFS cell list in the identity configuration
- even when its empty.
- - Disable all use of the provider when AFS is disabled for a
- particular identity.
-
-* Fix cm_cell_t leak. When evaluating a mountpoint that uses an
- alias instead of the full cellname, double check the full cell
- name and see if we have a matching cell before allocating a new
- one.
-
-* Dump more data with "fs memdump". All volumes and scaches and
- now cells.
-
-* Reverse the order of the all cells list. This ensures that
- the workstation cell is always first in the list.
-
-* If we recognize the server from which a callback revoke was
- received, then we can ensure that we only invalidate the status
- information for cm_scache_t objects belonging to that cell.
-
-* When building for amd64, use APPVER 5.02 as we do not support
- 64-bit Windows 2000 and explicitly state the machine type in
- the link flags.
-
-* no longer treat VMWare network adapters as equivalent to a
- loopback adapter. For some unknown reason, publishing the "AFS"
- netbios name on them frequently results in a name collision
- error.
-
-* Use read locks whenever possible instead of write locks when
- walking the allCellsp list. This permits better use of multiple
- CPUs.
-
-* In 1.5.20 a bug was introduced by the fake status when PRSFS_READ
- is not present on the directory optimization. It would report
- mount points and directory objects for which there was no
- status information as a zero length file. Instead we can use
- the vnode number of the object to determine if it should be
- considered to be a directory or a file. If it is even it is a
- directory; odd it is a file.
+ * changed the enum values for cm_serverRef_t state info to use a

+
+ * Fix a race condition in the SMB FID cleanup code that could

+
+ * Fix the graphics files that are installed as part of the

+
+ * Enable AFSDB record lookup for command line tools such as

+
+ * CellServDB update 2007-07-05
+
+ * Added a Volume Status Plug-in Interface that permits third parties
+ to receive notifications when the volume state changes occur.
+
+ * Ensure that all writes to the afsd_alloc.log file use CR-LF.
+
+ * Prevent the afsprocmgmt.dll from being unloaded while the

+
+ * Avoid a race condition when closing smb_fid_t objects.
