Description Volker Lendecke 2010-08-27 09:19:04 UTC
With hundreds of printers in /etc/printcap and load printers = yes, Samba 3.5 will spend significant amounts of time in the loop in set_printer_hnd_name().

Not sure the patch to follow should make it into the next 3.5 release, but I would like to make it visible here.

The customer asked to be mentioned. Code is the same, just the commit msg changed.

The patch is great, but not complete.

As the cache entry isn't invalidated or deleted if a printer is updated a printer rename doesn't work (SetPrinter, GetPrinter). The samba3.posix_s3.rpc.spoolss.printer rename test is currently failing. To be complete the cache entry should be deleted if the printers is deleted.

Volker, could you please complete the patch?

Is that what you have in mind? I can't test it right now, "make selftest" for some reason does not work for me, I'm still on the make oldtest.

The patch looks fine. It is already in master and in v3.6 as it was working correctly here.
Comment 9 Andreas Schneider 2010-09-29 07:27:46 UTC
Karolin, could you please apply or pick the patch for Samba 3.5?
Comment 10 Karolin Seeger 2010-10-06 14:14:47 UTC
Sorry, both patches do not apply to current v3-5-test branch...
