Preface:
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
This is the Release-Notes of the last official release.
|
|
However,
|
|
this version is based on the git branch "openafs-stable-1_8_x"
|
|
and thus has additional changes beside the ones for 1.8.11.
|
|
The reason for this is the compatibility with current Linux-Kernels.
|
|
The ChangeLog gives you all commits applied since then.
|
|
The versioning-scheme of these packages is: openafs-$LAST_OFFICIAL_RELEASE.git$DATE_OF_NEWEST_COMMIT
|

User-Visible OpenAFS Changes
|
|
|
|
OpenAFS 1.8.11
|
|
|
|
All platforms
|
|
|
|
* Check Rx RPC call number in incoming packets before allocating new
|
|
RPC calls to avoid re-running RPC calls when spurious packets are
|
|
received (15562)
|
|
|
|
* Fix memory leaks (15516 15517)
|
|
|
|
* Fix build failure when building with _FORTIFY_SOURCE (15518 15519)
|
|
|
|
* Fix build failures when building with the clang compiler (15540 15541
|
|
15547 15548)
|
|
|
|
* Improve error detection in OpenAFS directories for both clients
|
|
and servers (15544 15545 15546)
|
|
|
|
* Add a Makefile target to build Red Hat RPM packages (15514)
|
|
|
|
* Add support for custom version numbers in Red Hat RPM packages (15513)
|
|
|
|
All server platforms
|
|
|
|
* Fix File Server and Protection Server crashes due to recursive thread
|
|
lock bug (15609)
|
|
|
|
* Fix fileserver crashes during startup (15509 15543)
|
|
|
|
* The bosserver no longer creates the client configuration directory and
|
|
"ThisCell" and "CellServDB" symlinks. The "vos", "pts", and "bos"
|
|
commands now read cell configuration from the server cell configuration
|
|
directory when the client cell configuration directory is not present.
|
|
This change allows server packaging to be independent of client packaging
|
|
and removes the need for client configuration artifacts on hosts running
|
|
server processes only (15510 15511 15512)
|
|
|
|
* Print a warning in the volserver log when an older version of a volume
|
|
is restored over an existing volume, unless the volume was restored with
|
|
"-overwrite full" (15531)
|
|
|
|
* Print a warning in the bosserver log when the bosserver was not started
|
|
in restricted mode (15537)
|
|
|
|
* Avoid unbounded string copies when looking up volumes by name in
|
|
the vlserver (15538)
|
|
|
|
* Fix off-by-one directory entry name size check in salvager (15598)
|
|
|
|
All client platforms
|
|
|
|
* Updated the CellServDB to the latest version from grand.central.org
|
|
(15603)
|
|
|
|
All UNIX/Linux client platforms
|
|
|
|
* Fix PAG object memory leak which can degrade performance (15506)
|
|
|
|
* Improve kernel memory reclamation after accessing a large number of
|
|
files (15536)
|
|
|
|
* Improve cache corruption detection and refetch cache entries
|
|
when cache entry size mismatches are detected (15532 15533 15535)
|
|
|
|
* Fix panic in user-space client (libuafs, Fuse client) (15539)
|
|
|
|
Linux clients
|
|
|
|
* Add support for Linux 6.7 (15600)
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
* Add support for Linux 6.5 (15520 15521 15522 15523 15558)
|
|
|
|
* Fix BUG when directory entry names are longer than 16 characters.
|
|
Affects Linux 6.5 or higher built with GCC 13 or higher (15599)
|
|
|
|
* Invalidate Linux VFS dentry caches in the AFS filesystem when running
|
|

|
|
by writing to the "/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" file when
|
|
troubleshooting (15515)
|
|
|
|
* Fix build failures (15507 15508 15596 15542 15549)
|
|
|
