User-Visible OpenAFS Changes
OpenAFS 1.6.2.1
Linux clients

* Make the init script cope with the output of ifconfig on recent Fedora.
OpenAFS 1.6.2
All platforms
* Fix buffer overflows in fileserver and ptserver.
* Abort an rx connection when given an unknown service (Gerrit 7593).
* "idle dead" behavior improvements.
* Documentation updates.
All server platforms
* Fix rare file corruption during background sync (Gerrit 8796).
* Fix corrupting clients' metadata cache during certain errors (Gerrit
6957).
* Avoid saying a volume doesn't exist when accessed as the volume is
going offline (Gerrit 7488).
* Fix fileservers to properly report >2 TiB partitions.
* Fix stale volume info from vos examine on non-DAFS filservers.
* Fix possible volume corruption with vos convertROtoRW.
* Fix bosserver to preserve all command-line options over restart.
* Fix bosserver to properly kill hung processes during shutdown.
All UNIX client platforms
* Fixes for memcache, especially on Solaris.
* Increase the size of the DNS resolver answer buffer to allow sites
with a long response list to use SRV and AFSDB records.
* Fix a crash when a server appears to run out of addresses (Gerrit
7487).
* Fix cache corruption when reading from a file another client is
simultaneously writing to (Gerrit 7994).
* Improve handling of disk cache disk errors.
Linux
* fix DKMS configuration for DKMS 2.2.
* Avoid generating inode number 0 with md5 inodes (Gerrit 7276).
* Fix a crash when reading /proc/fs/openafs/unixusers (Gerrit 7914).
* Make PAG-less access use the real UID of the calling process
instead of the effective UID, when determining what credentials to
use (Gerrit 7931).
* Fix possible abuse of fs mkmount.
Prior to 1.6.2, users could crash a client by nesting volume mounts.
* Fix fileserver memory corruption on RHEL 6
Prior to 1.6.2, fileservers on RHEL 6 may crash under heavy load.
* Fix client page cache corruption on Linux
When multiple clients read and write to a file, the reading client
may see first page (4096 bytes) of a file as nulls.
* Support Linux kernels up to 3.7.
* Support newer glibc versions.
* Improve client systemd unit file.
* Update Red Hat packaging.
OS X
* Fix crashes on shutdown.
* Prevent unloading the module before shutdown completes.
* Security improvement for the OpenAFS preference pane.
Solaris
* Support newer versions of the Sun Studio compiler software.
* Support compiling on newer versions of Solaris 11 and Solaris 10.
OpenAFS 1.6.0 (2011-08-15)
All platforms
* Substantial Rx updates to correct erroneous behavior.
* vos now properly deals with matching sites when servers are
multihomed.
* Don't stop Rx keepalives after an ackall is received, avoiding
spurious connection timeouts. (128848)
* Don't retry Rx calls on channels returning busy errors and improve
Rx busy call channel error handling. (128671)
* Properly enable Rx connection hard timeouts.
* Rx NAT pings are not enabled until peer has answered.
* Initialize rx_multi lock before use.
* Avoid spurious crashes when initializing in "backup" client.
* Revert UUID support in vos.
* pt_util fixed to properly create new databases.
* MTU discovery now properly shut down on call reset.
* Avoid leaking references to hosts during callback break multi-Rx
operations. (129376)
* xstat tools now cope with differing timeval structures between
endpoints.
* Numerous fixes to command argument parsing.
* Documentation updates.
All server platforms
* A file descriptor leak which could result in corrupted files in the
fileserver was fixed. An IMMEDIATE upgrade from previous 1.5 release
fileservers is recommended.
* Fix ptserver supergroups support on 64 bit platforms.
* Demand attach salvaging doesn't use freed volume pointers.
* Properly hold host lock during host enumeration in fileserver.
* Attempt to recovery more quickly from timed out volume release
transactions.
* Auditing now properly byte order swaps IP addresses when printing.
* vos split now has improved error handling.
* Many changes to again support Windows fileservers.
* During volume removal, data removal speed improved.
* Improve CPU utilization during volume attaching by DAFS.
* In salvager check-only mode, avoid potentially fixing a vnode.
* Fix support for large (greater than 2gb) volume special files.
* Salvager will not crash if multiple or bad volume link tables are
encountered.
* Avoid erroneous full dump by remembering which sites were out of
date at the start of the release.
* A deleted volume can now be recreated properly.
* Callbacks are again not broken during whole partition salvages.
* Positional vectored IO fixed for largefile (>2GB) capable systems.
* Fileserver per-client thread usage again properly enforced.
* Anonymous dropbox support improved and drawbacks documented.
* Demand attach: ensure vnodes are not reallocated while in use due to
volume bitmap errors.
* Properly support large volume numbers (larger than 2147483647).
* Allow salvager to be run manually again when DAFS is being
used. (129458)
* Avoid leaking references to hosts during callback break multi-Rx
operations. (129376)
* Demand attach: unlink fileserver state file on standalone salvage.
* Salvager tries harder to detect linktable issues.
* Demand attach: don't attach volumes with special status set.
* Avoid crashing on host table exhaustion. Instead, defer clients.
Microsoft Windows
* afs_config will not longer set the Tray Icon State in the registry
if the checkbox is not present in the dialog. (128591)
* AFS Explorer Shell Extension now works from folder backgrounds.
Overlays for mount points and symlinks are present in the dll, but
are not registered at present by the installers.
* Do not use RankServerInterval registry value as the value for
PerformanceTuningInterval.
* When the data version of a mountpoint or symlink changes, the target
string in the cm_scache_t object must be cleared.
* "fs checkservers" now includes vldb servers in the output and only
lists multi-homed servers once. A multi-homed server that has at
least one up interface is no longer considered to be down.
* When asynchronously storing dirty data buffers to the file server
ensure that (a) the cm_scache_t object and the cm_buf_t object are
for the same File ID so that locking and signalling work properly;
and (b) if the FID no longer exists on the file server, do not
panic, just discard the buffer.
* When processing VNOVOL, VMOVED and VOFFLINE errors perform server
comparisons by UUID or address and not simply by cm_server_t
pointer. Otherwise, server failover may not succeed.
* Do not preserve status information for cm_scache_t objects when the
issuing server is multi-homed.
* Giving up all callbacks when shutting down or suspending the machine
is now significantly faster due to the use of an rx_multi
implementation. (This functionality is still off by default and
must be activated by a registry value.)
* Race conditions were possible when updating the state of the
cm_volume_t flags and when moving the volumes within the least
recently used list.
* Ensure that the lanahelper library does not perform a NCBRESET of
each lan adapter when enumerating the current network bindings.
Correcting this permits OpenAFS to work on Windows 7 when the
network adapter settings change.
* Fix creation of mount points and symlinks as \\AFS\xxxx
* Icon tray state now conditionally set. (128591)
* Properly create new cell mount points in freelance mode.
* Avoid recursive offline volume checks.
* Fix caching of non-existent volumes. The test to trigger an
immediate CM_ERROR_NOSUCHVOLUME in cm_UpdateVolumeLocation() was
backwards.
* Prevent the background daemon from checking the status of
non-existent volumes. cm_CheckOfflineVolumes() should skip volume
groups with the CM_VOLUMEFLAG_NOEXIST flag set.
* The afskfw library should return an error immediately if the
krb5_32.dll library cannot be loaded. Affects afslogon.dll and
afscreds.exe.
* No longer depend on leashw32.dll in afskfw library.
* NPLogonNotify must provide the user password in all calls to
KFW_AFS_get_cred(). It cannot count on a credential cache being
preserved between calls. Permits tokens to be acquired for all
cells listed in the TheseCells registry value for a domain.
* Improve the trace logging from NPLogonNotify().
