>Subject: [PATCH] cifs: stop trying to use virtual circuits
>
>Currently, we try to ensure that we use vcnum of 0 on the first
>established session on a connection and then try to use a different
>vcnum on each session after that.
>
>This is problematic in a couple of very common situations:
>
>1) it totally ignores that other programs on the box (e.g. smbclient)
>might have connections established to the server. Using a vcnum of 0
>causes them to get kicked off.
>
>2) it causes problems with NAT -- if several clients are running
>connected to the same server via the same NAT'ed address, whenever
>one connects to the server it kicks off all the others, which then
>reconnect and kick off the others...ad nauseum.
>
>I don't see any reason to ignore the advice in "Implementing CIFS". In
>there, it states "...and contrary to the specs the client should always
>use a VcNumber of one, never zero."
>
>Have the client just use a hardcoded vcnum of 1, and stop abusing the
>special behavior of vcnum 0.
