@@ -4,7 +4,15 @@ Various fixes to make delete of open files behavior more predictable
(when delete of an open file fails we mark the file as "delete-on-close"
in a way that more servers accept, but only if we can first rename the
file to a temporary name). Add experimental support for more safely
-handling fcntl(F_SETLEASE).
+handling fcntl(F_SETLEASE). Convert cifs to using blocking tcp
+sends, and also let tcp autotune the socket send and receive buffers.
+This reduces the number of EAGAIN errors returned by TCP/IP in
+high stress workloads (and the number of retries on socket writes
+when sending large SMBWriteX requests). Fix case in which a portion of
+data can in some cases not get written to the file on the server before the
+file is closed. Fix DFS parsing to properly handle path consumed field,
+and to handle certain codepage conversions better. Fix mount and
+umount race that can cause oops in mount or umount or reconnect.
