When mounting a Windows share that is the root of a drive (eg. C$)
the server does not return . and .. directory entries. This results in
the smb2 code path erroneously skipping the 2 first entries.
Pseudo-code of the readdir() code path:
cifs_readdir(struct file, struct dir_context)
initiate_cifs_search <-- if no reponse cached yet
server->ops->query_dir_first
dir_emit_dots
dir_emit <-- adds "." and ".." if we're at pos=0
find_cifs_entry
initiate_cifs_search <-- if pos < start of current response
(restart search)
server->ops->query_dir_next <-- if pos > end of current response
(fetch next search res)
for(...) <-- loops over cur response entries
starting at pos
cifs_filldir <-- skip . and .., emit entry
cifs_fill_dirent
dir_emit
pos++
A) dir_emit_dots() always adds . & ..
and sets the current dir pos to 2 (0 and 1 are done).
Therefore we always want the index_to_find to be 2 regardless of if
the response has . and ..
B) smb1 code initializes index_of_last_entry with a +2 offset
in cifssmb.c CIFSFindFirst():
psrch_inf->index_of_last_entry = 2 /* skip . and .. */ +
psrch_inf->entries_in_buffer;
Later in find_cifs_entry() we want to find the next dir entry at pos=2
as a result of (A)
first_entry_in_buffer = cfile->srch_inf.index_of_last_entry -
cfile->srch_inf.entries_in_buffer;
This var is the dir pos that the first entry in the buffer will
have therefore it must be 2 in the first call.
If we don't offset index_of_last_entry by 2 (like in (B)),
first_entry_in_buffer=0 but we were instructed to get pos=2 so this
code in find_cifs_entry() skips the 2 first which is ok for non-root
shares, as it skips . and .. from the response but is not ok for root
shares where the 2 first are actual files
pos_in_buf = index_to_find - first_entry_in_buffer;
// pos_in_buf=2
// we skip 2 first response entries :(
for (i = 0; (i < (pos_in_buf)) && (cur_ent != NULL); i++) {
/* go entry by entry figuring out which is first */
cur_ent = nxt_dir_entry(cur_ent, end_of_smb,
cfile->srch_inf.info_level);
}
C) cifs_filldir() skips . and .. so we can safely ignore them for now.
Sample program:
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
const char *path = argc >= 2 ? argv[1] : ".";
DIR *dh;
struct dirent *de;
printf("listing path <%s>\n", path);
dh = opendir(path);
if (!dh) {
printf("opendir error %d\n", errno);
return 1;
}
while (1) {
de = readdir(dh);
if (!de) {
if (errno) {
printf("readdir error %d\n", errno);
return 1;
}
printf("end of listing\n");
break;
}
printf("off=%lu <%s>\n", de->d_off, de->d_name);
}
return 0;
}
Before the fix with SMB1 on root shares:
<.> off=1
<..> off=2
<$Recycle.Bin> off=3
<bootmgr> off=4
and on non-root shares:
<.> off=1
<..> off=4 <-- after adding .., the offsets jumps to +2 because
<2536> off=5 we skipped . and .. from response buffer (C)
<411> off=6 but still incremented pos
<file> off=7
<fsx> off=8
Therefore the fix for smb2 is to mimic smb1 behaviour and offset the
index_of_last_entry by 2.
Test results comparing smb1 and smb2 before/after the fix on root
share, non-root shares and on large directories (ie. multi-response
dir listing):
PRE FIX
=======
pre-1-root VS pre-2-root:
ERR pre-2-root is missing [bootmgr, $Recycle.Bin]
pre-1-nonroot VS pre-2-nonroot:
OK~ same files, same order, different offsets
pre-1-nonroot-large VS pre-2-nonroot-large:
OK~ same files, same order, different offsets
POST FIX
========
post-1-root VS post-2-root:
OK same files, same order, same offsets
post-1-nonroot VS post-2-nonroot:
OK same files, same order, same offsets
post-1-nonroot-large VS post-2-nonroot-large:
OK same files, same order, same offsets
REGRESSION?
===========
pre-1-root VS post-1-root:
OK same files, same order, same offsets
pre-1-nonroot VS post-1-nonroot:
OK same files, same order, same offsets
