Patch for 3.5.x and 3.6.x to follow.

git am fix for 3.6.x.

Richard, please review for 3.6.next.
Jeremy.
Comment 2 Jeremy Allison 2012-06-14 18:46:16 UTC
Richard, I notice in your version of the patch you do the vfs_ChDir() over both the notify_onelevel() call and also the notify_trigger() call with the fullpath. Is that needed ? In Volker's original patch the vfs_ChDir() call is only done over the notify_onelevel(), and not the notify_trigger() call.

Can you explain ?

Thanks,

Jeremy.

I didn't understand what I was doing :-)

Will it cause a problem? I guess I need to look at the underlying code more carefully.

git-am fix for 3.5.next.

Richard, here are the same fixes (combined into one patch) as for 3.6.x (with a few extra log messages that were in your original back-port).

This only keeps the ChDir over the notify_onelevel() call, as does Volker's original patch.

Can you confirm this works please and if so we'll get it into 3.5.next.

Cheers,

Jeremy.

Looks good.

I think I have reviewed it ...

No, I don't think it'll cause a problem, I just think it's unnecessary :-).

Can you test the 3.5.next patch I just uploaded and if you're happy we'll
re-assign to Karolin for inclusion.

Cheers,

Jeremy.
Comment 8 Jeremy Allison 2012-06-14 19:14:18 UTC
Ok, I saw the change you made changing the review flag from '?' to '+' in an email, but I don't see the change actually on the bug. I don't get it :-(.

Still, the comments inline are +1, so I'll re-assign to Karolin for inclusion in 3.6.next and 3.5.next.

Jeremy.

I believe that the fix will work. It is functionally equivalent to what I am currently running and that no longer seems to drop the ChDir.

I will move to that patch, but it will probably be tomorrow before I actually have it running in code in our torture environment.

git-am fix for 3.5.next.

Doesn't this create unused variables? oldwd and smb_fname_parent seem unused in notify_fname

Updated git-am fix for 3.5.next.

Removes unused variables. Thanks Volker !
Comment 12 Jeremy Allison 2012-06-15 17:01:41 UTC
Karolin, please push the 3.6.x patch - let's wait on Volker or Richard for the 3.5.x version.

Cheers,

Jeremy.
