Amazingly, everything +worked as planned. +</p> +<p class="headline">Persistent handles and leases, how <b>DO</b> they work ?</p> +<p> +Ralph Böhme of SerNet did lots of research on how persistent handles +interact with leases and Günther Deschner of Red Hat worked on adding +lease break retransmission tests. This work goes a long way towards +creating the kind of tests we need to ensure our implementation will +be completely compatible with Windows clients. +</p> +<p class="headline">SMB and RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) in the Linux kernel.</p> +<p> +Stefan Metzmacher of SerNet prototyped an smbdirect.ko module for the +Linux kernel, which will make SMB-Direct with RDMA reads and writes +available for user space applications like Samba's 'smbd' and +'smbclient' as well as in kernel uses. The Linux kernel cifs.ko client +might also use it in future. It makes use of native socket system +calls, and simulates the traffic of SMB over TCP/NBT with the 4 byte +length header. This makes it transparent to the application except for +the special RDMA read/write fast path operations. +</p> +<p> +Aurélien Aptel of SUSE worked on updating the cifs.ko kernel +documentation which is really old. The most interesting change is in +the TODO file which serves as a roadmap of where cifs.ko is +going. Aurélien, who also collaborated with Pavel Shilovsky of +Microsoft on adding compound requests for SMB2+ to the Linux kernel +client. +</p> +<p class="headline">SMB3 UNIX Extensions</p> +<p> +Jeremy Allison of Google and Steve French of Primary Data worked on +design and prototyping of the UNIX extensions for SMB3, in +collaboration with Tom Talpy, David Goebel and Mathew George of +Microsoft. Watch this space for more details soon. +</p> +<p class="headline">Samba on Windows !</p> +<p> +But the prize for hack-of-the year goes to James Cain of Snell +Advanced Media and Volker Lendecke of Sernet. James told Volker how to +disable the built-in SMB server on Windows, allowing Volker (with some +small changes) to get the Samba smbd SMB1/2/3 server running natively +on Windows under the Microsoft Linux subsystem ! Samba RULES !!! +</p> +<p> +The changes needed lead to some feedback to the Microsoft Linux +subsystem Team, who are planning to make some changes that will remove +the need for Samba code changes in the future, thus allowing +Samba-FUSE(file systems in userspace)-like innovation via the Samba +VFS (Virtual File System) interface that's built into smbd. +</p> +<p> +We do indeed live in interesting times ! +<p> +<!-- END: posted_news/20171017-162838.sdc_ms_trip.body.html --> diff --git a/posted_news/20171017-162838.sdc_ms_trip.headline.html b/posted_news/20171017-162838.sdc_ms_trip.headline.html new file mode 100644 index 0000000..f1128c5 --- /dev/null +++ b/posted_news/20171017-162838.sdc_ms_trip.headline.html @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +<!-- BEGIN: posted_news/20171017-162838.sdc_ms_trip.headline.html --> +<li> 17 October 2017 <a href="#sdc_ms_trip">2017 SNIA Conference and Microsoft Trip Report</a></li> +<!-- END: posted_news/20171017-162838.sdc_ms_trip.headline.html --> diff --git a/posted_news/20171017-162838.sdc_ms_trip.snip.html b/posted_news/20171017-162838.sdc_ms_trip.snip.html new file mode 100644 index 0000000..2fc4dd3 --- /dev/null +++ b/posted_news/20171017-162838.sdc_ms_trip.snip.html @@ -0,0 +1,21 @@ +<!-- BEGIN: posted_news/20171017-162838.sdc_ms_trip.snip.html --> +<h5><a name="sdc_ms_trip">17 October 2017</a></h5> +<p class=headline>2017 SNIA Conference and Microsoft Trip Report</p> +<p> +Last month was a very productive one for the Samba project.
