OpenAFS 1.6.9
All server platforms
* Fix for OPENAFS-SA-2014-002
OpenAFS 1.6.8
All platforms
* Documentation improvements (10751 10875 10931 10897 10883 10954 10955)
* Improved diagnostics and error messages (10756 10814 10949)
* Fixed a bug in RX that could make errors during packet reception go
unnoticed. (10733)
* Fixed a bug that made "vos size -dump" display the wrong size for
large volumes. (10933) (RT #131819)
All server platforms
* Change the default fileserver sync behavior from "delayed" to "onclose".
This means that explicit syncing only happens when a volume is detached.
(10809)
* Added the -offline-timeout and -offline-shutdown-timeout options to the
fileserver, to implement interrupting clients accessing volumes we are
trying to take offline. (6266 10799)
Remove unused options bos-new-config, fast-restart, & largefile.
Remove patches fixed upstream.
OpenAFS 1.6.6
All platforms
* As of this release, OpenAFS no longer ships uncompressed source tarballs.
Tarballs are still shipped with both compression formats, gzip and bzip2.
(10131)
* Documentation improvements (10136 10314 10601)
* Improved diagnostics and error messages (9412 10085 10274)
* Avoid redefining "assert" in our public header files, which could
cause failures when building some applications using them. (10096)
* Fixes for parallel builds (10005 10309 10337)
* Added a -s switch to afscp (not installed by default) to help simulate
a slow client. (9416 9417)
* Added a -probe switch to vlclient test program (not installed by default)
to ping all vlservers in a cell in parallel. (9570)
All server platforms
* The fileserver now ignores any vice partitions with a NeverAttach flag
file present in the root directory. (RT #130561) (9470 9471)
* Restrict forcing CPS ("Current Protection Subdomain") recalculation in
the fileserver to administrators. Also fixed a bug that could cause this
operation to be incomplete. (9485 9487)
* Allow non-DAFS fileservers to attach unusable volumes, restoring pre-1.6
behaviour. (RT #131505) (9499)
* Restored the pre-1.6 behaviour when running vos examine for a volume
currently in a transaction, showing the volume as busy again rather than
offline. (9685 9915 9916)
* Reduced the minimum time a bos salvage takes from 5 seconds to 1. (9476)
* Fixed buserver to not segfault when started with the -servers option.
(RT #131706) (10166)
* Salvager fixes, addressing a wide variety of possible problems from
unnecessary salvaging to aborts (9282 9283 9457 9458 9459 9461 9462 9480
9481 10165 10167)
* Fixed a bug that could cause saved state information to be discarded
when restarting a large or busy fileserver, which negatively impacted
performance. (9683)
* Fixed a bug that could have caused undefined behaviour in the vlserver
in rare cases when a fileserver registered its addresses in the VLDB.
(9429)
* Added the -preserve-vol-stats switch to volserver, allowing it to keep
the access statistics across volume restore and reclone operations
instead of resetting them. (9477)
* Inserted an exponential delay between retries when bosserver attempts to
restart a server process. (9571 10199)
* Improved vldb_check (not installed by default) to cope with broken
vlentry names and volids, and provide more output to aid debugging.
(10268)
* Releasing a volume after adding a new RO site no longer touches any of
the existing RO sites, if the RW data hasn't changed since the last
release. (10174)
* Make the copyDate field for RO clones have the same meaning as for
remote RO volumes. Previously, the copyDate field for clones was updated
every time we released. (9451)
* Fixed potentially undefined behaviour in ptserver when too many pts
ids are allocated. (10124)
* Note that the server side NAT pings feature present in the prereleases
was removed before the final release, since no positive feedback
was provided during prerelease testing. (9420 10135)
Linux servers
* Start bosserver with -nofork in the systemd unit file, to allow systemd
to track its state (10093)
All client platforms
* No longer track file locks on read-only volumes. Write locks can't
succeed, read locks always will. Avoids log messages about this kind
of lock. (8910)
* Added the "fs flushall" subcommand, which makes the client discard all
cached data. This was previously available on Windows only. (9065 9388
9389 9390)
* Fixed a bug that could make the client incorrectly believe its cache
is up to date. This change could negatively impact AFS <-> DFS
translators, should those still be running anywhere. (8898)
* Several changes to avoid panicing in certain error conditions.
(9131 9287 10354 10355 10356 10357) (partially addressing RT #131747)
* Added the -rxmaxfrags switch to afsd, allowing to limit the number
of UDP fragments sent or received per RX packet. (9430)
* Build fixes for aklog on several platforms (RT #131716) (9917 10107 10275)
* Require that the AFS mountpoint specified in the cacheinfo file is
an absolute path. Relative paths result in a client that basically
works but is not fully functional. (10253)
* Fixed a bug that could cause one of the afsd threads to enter an infinite
loop (10431 .. 10436)
Linux clients
* Support Linux kernels up to 3.13 (10241)
* Fixed a bug that made readv/writev calls in AFS space fail with Linux
kernels where generic_file_aio_read exists but those operations have
not been switched to using aio_read/aio_write. This was a regression
introduced with release 1.6.3 and affected at least RHEL 5.9 kernels.
(10248)
* Fixed a similar bug making core dumps fail in AFS space, affecting
a much wider range of kernels including the most recent ones.
(RT #131729) (10254)
* Enhanced the keyring code to make PAGs work correctly on kernels with a
distribution specific change to the Linux keyring code. This affected at
least SLES 11 SP3 kernels. (10252)
* Fixed a bug that could make failures during PAG instantiation go
unnoticed. (10255)
* Fixed a bug that made compilation fail for Linux kernels without
keyring support. This affected at least the SLE 10 SDK and an
OEM version of SLES 11 SP1. (10325)
* Fixed build for kernels with user namespace support enabled. Likely
to be required for Ubuntu 14.04 and eventually other distributions.
(10456 10457 10458 10518 10472)
* Support RHEL 6.5 kernels, and possibly others with changes backported
from recent mainline kernels that touch getname/putname, by no longer
using those functions. Previously, the client could cause a kernel
panic when syscall auditing was enabled. (10578)
* Make tmpfs usable as the cache filesystem again. This had been broken
since kernel 3.1 (9950 10193)
* When starting the client fails, clean up the backing device information
created in sysfs, to avoid error messages during a subsequent start
and possible system instability later on (10454)
* Update Red Hat packaging to support Fedora >= 20, RHEL >= 7 and
ELrepo kernels (10597 10619 10622 10703 10704)
OS X Clients
* Support OS X 10.9 "Mavericks" (10519 10541 10542 10543 10548 10549)
AIX clients
* Fixed a bug that caused the 1.6 AIX client to never receive any RX
packets in the kernel. (RT #131725)
FUSE client
* Support Solaris 11 (9454 9455)
* Allow other users to access filesystems mounted by root. (9452)
FreeBSD
* Build tvolser and dvolser on this platform (10122)
* Several fixes to catch up with newer releases (10374 .. 10381)
NetBSD
* Build tsalvaged, tvolser and dvolser on this platform (10121)
* Fixed build on NetBSD 5 and newer. (10138)

Reload rxkad.keytab on CellServDB modification
Make the reloading of rxkad.keytab keys occur in the same way that
KeyFile keys are reloaded. That is, we only try to reload them if the
CellServDB mtime has changed. This is intended to have exactly the
same reloading behavior as KeyFile reloads.
I would have triggered this from afsconf_Check, but that approach
has annoyances. (Calling ticket5_keytab functions directly from
cellconfig pulls in libkrb5 dependencies for everything that uses
cellconfig, and we'd have to trigger an afsconf_Check call by calling
some other cellconfig function.)

Avoid calling afsconf_GetLatestKey directly
Don't call afsconf_GetLatestKey to determine whether we can print our
own local tokens, since we may have keytab 'local' keys, but no DES
keys. Just try to construct them and see if it fails, using
afsconf_PickClientSecObj or afsconf_ClientAuth{,Secure} as
appropriate.

auth: Do not always fallback to noauth
Make afsconf_PickClientSecObj error out if we can't construct
localauth tokens (unless the caller explicitly requested rxnull
fallback). afsconf_ClientAuth{,Secure} still falls back, as always.
commit 95d57c74476c5a02ce6d9ca913dcbf88ac5c1143
Author: Ben Kaduk <kaduk@mit.edu>
Date: Tue May 14 19:37:59 2013 -0400
Clean up akimpersonate and use for server-to-server
Since a6d7cacfd, aklog has been able to print a krb5 ticket to
itself for an arbitrary client principal, allowing a user with
access to the cell's krb5 key to get tokens as an arbitrary user.
Now that it is possible to use native krb5 tickets with non-DES
enctypes for authentication, and akimpersonate is available from libauth,
use printed native krb5 tickets for server-to-server communication (as well
as the -localauth versions of the client utilities).
Remove the early call to afsconf_GetLatestKey() in
afsconf_PickClientSecObj() so that we do not end up picking an old DES
key before we try to find a better key to use.
Before doing so, refactor the akimpersonate code to be more usable
and readable, and eliminate some dead code. For example, we always printed
addressless tickets, so that code could be removed. Other code had excessive
stack usage for a library routine, which is eliminated. Use a start time
of 0 instead of 300 so that the printed ticket will always be
detected as infinite-lifetime.
In order to ensure usability on all platforms (in particular Solaris),
provide a couple more compat shims to implement routines which are not
always available from the krb5 library, in particular encode_krb5_ticket
and encode_krb5_enc_tkt_part. Thanks to Andrew Deason for implementing
these compatability routines.
UKERNEL doesn't need this stuff.
commit 15b77552b22e3ff3e7478008673775a45047f600
Author: Alexander Chernyakhovsky <achernya@mit.edu>
Date: Tue May 14 18:12:08 2013 -0400
Move akimpersonate to libauth
Give it its own source file and header, install the header at
depinstall time, and have aklog get the akimpersonate functionality
from libauth.
Keep the linux box copyright from aklog_main.c (but strip the trailing
whitespace), as that block was added with the akimpersonate code.
Remove all calls to afs_com_err() as is fitting for library code,
to let it build. Do not bother removing curly braces which are
no longer needed; a future cleanup commit will catch that.

Author: Chaskiel Grundman <cg2v@andrew.cmu.edu>
Date: Sun Mar 17 21:58:47 2013 -0400
Derive DES/fcrypt session key from other key types
If a kerberos 5 ticket has a session key with a non-DES enctype,
use the NIST SP800-108 KDF in counter mode with HMAC_MD5 as the PRF to
construct a DES key to be used by rxkad.
To satisfy the requirements of the KDF, DES3 keys are first compressed into a
168 bit form by reversing the RFC3961 random-to-key algorithm

New optional rxkad functionality for decypting krb5 tokens
An additional, optional mechanism for decrypting krb5-format tokens
is provided that uses the krb5 api with a key from a keytab
instead of using libdes and the AFS KeyFile.
The AIX compat stub for krb5_c_decrypt is contributed by Andrew Deason.

Add rxkad server hook function to decrypt more types of tokens
Allow tokens to be encrypted with algorithms other than DES.
The security object owner must provide an implementation
by calling rxkad_SetAltDecryptProc.
Make sure plainsiz is initialized before calling the alternate decrypt
proc.
User-Visible OpenAFS Changes
OpenAFS 1.6.4
All platforms
* Obey the jumbo/nojumbo settings for ubik servers (the DB servers)
too. In previous releases, those servers may have used jumbograms
even if they were not configured to do so. This change corrects
the actual behaviour, and will improve performance and reliability
for sites where jumbograms are problematic. It could cause a decrease
in performance for sites where jumbograms work, but those can turn
them back on manually.
* Dozens of fixes for common coding problems like use after free,
use of possibly uninitialised memory, reading or writing past the
end of arrays and potential NULL pointer derefences. Spotted by
code analysis tools or human inspection.
* Documentation improvements.
* Fixes and improvements to the diagnostic or log messages printed by
vos, the fileserver and others.
* Build fixes, making parallel builds more reliable with certain
configuration options and helping various platforms including
recent releases of IRIX, Solaris and several flavours of Linux.
* Avoid sending a small amount of data over the wire unencrypted
under certain conditions, and emit the correct error message in
this case.
All server platforms
* Avoid generating duplicate IDs for readonly and backup volumes,
which could happen under certain conditions.
* Allow the fileserver to return volume data like quota or free space,
which is available publicly elsewhere, without the additional access
check for read permissions on a volume's root directory the fileserver
performed before.
* The fileserver now emits a log message when it ran out of memory for
callbacks.
* Avoid several potential fileserver problems, including memory
corruption and segmentation faults, due to client bookkeeping.
* Avoid known cases of silent data corruption due to background syncs
on the fileserver, especially during Copy on Write.
* Make the fileserver sync behaviour runtime configurable. Up to 1.4.5,
we had synchronous syncs which were safe but really slow. Since 1.4.5,
we've had asynchronous syncs which are much faster but believed to
be the cause of rare data corruption issues, and while all known cases
of these happening are believed to be fixed in the 1.6.3 release, doubts
remain. This change allows choosing between those, and in addition allows
to turn syncs by the fileserver off altogether, thus relying on the vice
partition's backend filesystem and the operating system, or to just
execute them when a volume is detached. The default behaviour is
unchanged from releases since 1.4.5, but it's highly recommended to
consider the additional options this change provides. Future OpenAFS
releases will default to "-sync=none".
* For dbservers, avoid a situation where misinterpreting transient
network errors causes long-term issues with achieving ubik quorum.
All UNIX client platforms
* Improvements to the detection of an aklog-specific krb5 configuration
file, for the purposes of turning on "weak crypto" for aklog.
* Fixed a regression introduced in release 1.6.2 which caused the
supposedly persistent disk cache to be discarded upon client start.
(RT #131655)
Linux clients
* Support Linux kernels up to 3.10
* Fixed two bugs making it impossible to unmount a disk cache filesystem
after it has been used by the client. (RT #131613)
* Fixed a bug that could cause an oops with kernels 3.6 and later
OpenBSD
* Improved support for OpenBSD 4.9 to 5.3
OpenAFS 1.6.3
This release number had to be skipped for technical reasons.
Upstream release notes:
User-Visible OpenAFS Changes
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.

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.

- Unlink fileserver state file on standalone salvage.
FreeBSD:
- Support for virtual network stacks.
Linux:
- Further corrections to Redhat packaging.
- Avoid showing files larger than one cache chunk size as full of NULLs.
(129880) This bug was in unissued pre5 only, not in pre4.
- Fix lockup in 2.6.38 due to erroneous kernel feature configure test.
MacOS:
- Rework logic for bulk status operations to avoid a potential hang.
Solaris:
- Don't leave dangling function references if kernel extension fails to load.
Windows:
- aklog supports dotted Kerberos v5 principal names.
- afskfw library always attempts afs/cell@USER-REALM
- afskfw library must test return code from
krb5_cc_start_seq_get() or will trigger a null
pointer exception when using Heimdal.
- lock protected fields must be 32-bit in order
to avoid memory overwrite races.
CHANGES IN 1.6.0PRE5
All server platforms:
- Avoid leaking references to hosts during callback break multi-Rx
operations. (129376)
All UNIX platforms:
- Avoid a potential deadlock (which times out) when we need to allocate more
callback returns and must flush some already in use.
- Deal with libcom_err conflicts with other packages using it (e.g. krb5)
(128640)
AIX:
- Fix PAG usage to track by PAG identifier, not group list.
Irix:
- Properly create new vnodes to avoid crashing in the client.
Linux:
- Support 2.6.39.
- Avoid attempting to free stat cache entries when we are below user-specified
number of entries in use.
- Properly track user-specified number of stat cache entries to use as a
desired usage target.
- Don't read pages beyond EOF in the cache. (128452)
MacOS:
- Properly shut down AFS, closing the Rx socket in the upcall handler to
avoid attempting to process data after we can no longer do so.
NetBSD:
- Updates for platform support.
Windows:
- 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().
- Avoid a race when writing the cm_scache_t mountPointString
when acquiring mount point or symlink target data via
cm_GetData(). The race could result in bogus target
data being cached.
- Permit the use of des-cbc-md5 and des-cbc-md4 enctypes
as DES keys in asetkey.exe.
CHANGES IN 1.6.0PRE4
All server platforms:
- A file descriptor leak which could result in corrupted files
in the fileserver was fixed. An IMMEDIATE upgrade from previous
1.6 release candidates as well as 1.5 release fileserver is
SUGGESTED!
- Properly support large volume numbers (larger than 2147483647).
All platforms:
- Documentation updates.
Demand Attach Fileserver platforms:
- Allow salvager to be run manually again when DAFS is being used. (129458)
FreeBSD:
- New RC script, updated packaging.
Linux:
- Improve RPM building tools.
- setpag() errors are now properly reported.
MacOS:
- Preferences Pane behavior fixed for 1.6 series (version detection
is used to select default behavior).
- A potential kernel panic during bulkstat operations is fixed. (128511)
- 64-bit MacOS kernel performance is greatly improved. (128934)
Solaris:
- Properly report errors for AFS system call callers.
Windows:
- Properly create new cell mount points in freelance mode.
- Avoid recursive offline volume checks.
CHANGES IN 1.6.0PRE3
All platforms:
- Revert UUID support in vos.
- pt_util fixed to properly create new databases.
- Rx busy call channel error handling improved.
- MTU discovery now properly shut down on call reset.
- FUSE client support fixed for non-/afs mounts.
All server platforms:
- 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 Fileserver platforms:
- Ensure vnodes are not reallocated while in use due to volume
bitmap errors.
Linux:
- Perform vcache eviction via a fast path before visiting vcaches
where sleep is needed.
MacOS:
- aklog AuthorizationPlugin now provided.
Solaris:
- Corrected Solaris 11 startup script.
- vcache mappings freed on shutdown to avoid panic.
Windows:
- icon tray state now conditionally set (128591)
CHANGES IN 1.6.0PRE2
All platforms:
- Documentation updates.
- 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. (128671)
- vos will not die with a double free error at command completion.
- Properly enable Rx connection hard timeouts.
- Initialize rx_multi lock before use.
- Avoid spurious crashes when initializing in "backup" client.
All unix platforms:
- Check for /afs existance before starting, unless -nomount is specified.
- Avoid a potential panic when using /afs/.:mount syntax.
- Avoid a panic in memcache mode due to missing CellItems file.
All server platforms:
- 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.
FreeBSD:
- Remove support for "Giant" lock as we no longer need to use it.
- Don't sleep with AFS GLOCK.
- Properly enable 64 bit long long support.
- Restore support for FreeBSD 7 (128612)
- Fix locking issues at shutdown.
Linux:
- support through kernel 2.6.38.
- RedHat packaging now properly supports RHEL6.
- Use rx_Readv in cache bypass to improve performance.
- Properly handle 0-length replies during cache bypass operations.
- Properly handle non-contiguous readpage cache bypass operations.
- Do proper locking when transitioning to or from cache bypass.
- Avoid extra runs of vcache freeing routine. (128756)
MacOS:
- Check for unloaded kernel extensions when decoding AFS panics.
- Properly handle setpag errors. PAGs are not supported.
- Disable "get tokens at login" in prefs pane if AD authentication
plugin is configured.
OpenBSD:
- support through OpenBSD 4.8.
Solaris:
- Fix support for Solaris pre-10.
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
