+KSMBD - SMB3 Kernel Server
+==========================
+
+KSMBD is a linux kernel server which implements SMB3 protocol in kernel space
+for sharing files over network.
+
+KSMBD architecture
+==================
+
+The subset of performance related operations belong in kernelspace and
+the other subset which belong to operations which are not really related with
+performance in userspace. So, DCE/RPC management that has historically resulted
+into number of buffer overflow issues and dangerous security bugs and user
+account management are implemented in user space as ksmbd.mountd.
+File operations that are related with performance (open/read/write/close etc.)
+in kernel space (ksmbd). This also allows for easier integration with VFS
+interface for all file operations.
+
+ksmbd (kernel daemon)
+---------------------
+
+When the server daemon is started, It starts up a forker thread
+(ksmbd/interface name) at initialization time and open a dedicated port 445
+for listening to SMB requests. Whenever new clients make request, Forker
+thread will accept the client connection and fork a new thread for dedicated
+communication channel between the client and the server. It allows for parallel
+processing of SMB requests(commands) from clients as well as allowing for new
+clients to make new connections. Each instance is named ksmbd/1~n(port number)
+to indicate connected clients. Depending on the SMB request types, each new
+thread can decide to pass through the commands to the user space (ksmbd.mountd),
+currently DCE/RPC commands are identified to be handled through the user space.
+To further utilize the linux kernel, it has been chosen to process the commands
+as workitems and to be executed in the handlers of the ksmbd-io kworker threads.
+It allows for multiplexing of the handlers as the kernel take care of initiating
+extra worker threads if the load is increased and vice versa, if the load is
+decreased it destroys the extra worker threads. So, after connection is
+established with client. Dedicated ksmbd/1..n(port number) takes complete
+ownership of receiving/parsing of SMB commands. Each received command is worked
+in parallel i.e., There can be multiple clients commands which are worked in
+parallel. After receiving each command a separated kernel workitem is prepared
+for each command which is further queued to be handled by ksmbd-io kworkers.
+So, each SMB workitem is queued to the kworkers. This allows the benefit of load
+sharing to be managed optimally by the default kernel and optimizing client
+performance by handling client commands in parallel.
+
+ksmbd.mountd (user space daemon)
+--------------------------------
+
+ksmbd.mountd is userspace process to, transfer user account and password that
+are registered using ksmbd.adduser(part of utils for user space). Further it
+allows sharing information parameters that parsed from smb.conf to ksmbd in
+kernel. For the execution part it has a daemon which is continuously running
+and connected to the kernel interface using netlink socket, it waits for the
+requests(dcerpc and share/user info). It handles RPC calls (at a minimum few
+dozen) that are most important for file server from NetShareEnum and
+NetServerGetInfo. Complete DCE/RPC response is prepared from the user space
+and passed over to the associated kernel thread for the client.

-=====================================================
-Mandatory File Locking For The Linux Operating System
-=====================================================
-
- Andy Walker <andy@lysaker.kvaerner.no>
-
- 15 April 1996
-
- (Updated September 2007)
-
-0. Why you should avoid mandatory locking
------------------------------------------
-
-The Linux implementation is prey to a number of difficult-to-fix race
-conditions which in practice make it not dependable:
-
- - The write system call checks for a mandatory lock only once
- at its start. It is therefore possible for a lock request to
- be granted after this check but before the data is modified.
- A process may then see file data change even while a mandatory
- lock was held.
- - Similarly, an exclusive lock may be granted on a file after
- the kernel has decided to proceed with a read, but before the
- read has actually completed, and the reading process may see
- the file data in a state which should not have been visible
- to it.
- - Similar races make the claimed mutual exclusion between lock
- and mmap similarly unreliable.
-
-1. What is mandatory locking?
-------------------------------
-
-Mandatory locking is kernel enforced file locking, as opposed to the more usual
-cooperative file locking used to guarantee sequential access to files among
-processes. File locks are applied using the flock() and fcntl() system calls
-(and the lockf() library routine which is a wrapper around fcntl().) It is
-normally a process' responsibility to check for locks on a file it wishes to
-update, before applying its own lock, updating the file and unlocking it again.
-The most commonly used example of this (and in the case of sendmail, the most
-troublesome) is access to a user's mailbox. The mail user agent and the mail
-transfer agent must guard against updating the mailbox at the same time, and
-prevent reading the mailbox while it is being updated.
-
-In a perfect world all processes would use and honour a cooperative, or
-"advisory" locking scheme. However, the world isn't perfect, and there's
-a lot of poorly written code out there.
-
-In trying to address this problem, the designers of System V UNIX came up
-with a "mandatory" locking scheme, whereby the operating system kernel would
-block attempts by a process to write to a file that another process holds a
-"read" -or- "shared" lock on, and block attempts to both read and write to a
-file that a process holds a "write " -or- "exclusive" lock on.
-
-The System V mandatory locking scheme was intended to have as little impact as
-possible on existing user code. The scheme is based on marking individual files
-as candidates for mandatory locking, and using the existing fcntl()/lockf()
-interface for applying locks just as if they were normal, advisory locks.
-
-.. Note::
-
- 1. In saying "file" in the paragraphs above I am actually not telling
- the whole truth. System V locking is based on fcntl(). The granularity of
- fcntl() is such that it allows the locking of byte ranges in files, in
- addition to entire files, so the mandatory locking rules also have byte
- level granularity.
-
- 2. POSIX.1 does not specify any scheme for mandatory locking, despite
- borrowing the fcntl() locking scheme from System V. The mandatory locking
- scheme is defined by the System V Interface Definition (SVID) Version 3.
-
-2. Marking a file for mandatory locking
----------------------------------------
-
-A file is marked as a candidate for mandatory locking by setting the group-id
-bit in its file mode but removing the group-execute bit. This is an otherwise
-meaningless combination, and was chosen by the System V implementors so as not
-to break existing user programs.
-
-Note that the group-id bit is usually automatically cleared by the kernel when
-a setgid file is written to. This is a security measure. The kernel has been
-modified to recognize the special case of a mandatory lock candidate and to
-refrain from clearing this bit. Similarly the kernel has been modified not
-to run mandatory lock candidates with setgid privileges.
-
-3. Available implementations
-----------------------------
-
-I have considered the implementations of mandatory locking available with
-SunOS 4.1.x, Solaris 2.x and HP-UX 9.x.
-
-Generally I have tried to make the most sense out of the behaviour exhibited
-by these three reference systems. There are many anomalies.
-
-All the reference systems reject all calls to open() for a file on which
-another process has outstanding mandatory locks. This is in direct
-contravention of SVID 3, which states that only calls to open() with the
-O_TRUNC flag set should be rejected. The Linux implementation follows the SVID
-definition, which is the "Right Thing", since only calls with O_TRUNC can
-modify the contents of the file.
-
-HP-UX even disallows open() with O_TRUNC for a file with advisory locks, not
-just mandatory locks. That would appear to contravene POSIX.1.
-
-mmap() is another interesting case. All the operating systems mentioned
-prevent mandatory locks from being applied to an mmap()'ed file, but HP-UX
-also disallows advisory locks for such a file. SVID actually specifies the
-paranoid HP-UX behaviour.
-
-In my opinion only MAP_SHARED mappings should be immune from locking, and then
-only from mandatory locks - that is what is currently implemented.
-
-SunOS is so hopeless that it doesn't even honour the O_NONBLOCK flag for
-mandatory locks, so reads and writes to locked files always block when they
-should return EAGAIN.
-
-I'm afraid that this is such an esoteric area that the semantics described
-below are just as valid as any others, so long as the main points seem to
-agree.
-
-4. Semantics
-------------
-
-1. Mandatory locks can only be applied via the fcntl()/lockf() locking
- interface - in other words the System V/POSIX interface. BSD style
- locks using flock() never result in a mandatory lock.
-
-2. If a process has locked a region of a file with a mandatory read lock, then
- other processes are permitted to read from that region. If any of these
- processes attempts to write to the region it will block until the lock is
- released, unless the process has opened the file with the O_NONBLOCK
- flag in which case the system call will return immediately with the error
- status EAGAIN.
-
-3. If a process has locked a region of a file with a mandatory write lock, all
- attempts to read or write to that region block until the lock is released,
- unless a process has opened the file with the O_NONBLOCK flag in which case
- the system call will return immediately with the error status EAGAIN.
-
-4. Calls to open() with O_TRUNC, or to creat(), on a existing file that has
- any mandatory locks owned by other processes will be rejected with the
- error status EAGAIN.
-
-5. Attempts to apply a mandatory lock to a file that is memory mapped and
- shared (via mmap() with MAP_SHARED) will be rejected with the error status
- EAGAIN.
-
-6. Attempts to create a shared memory map of a file (via mmap() with MAP_SHARED)
- that has any mandatory locks in effect will be rejected with the error status
- EAGAIN.
-
-5. Which system calls are affected?
------------------------------------
-
-Those which modify a file's contents, not just the inode. That gives read(),
-write(), readv(), writev(), open(), creat(), mmap(), truncate() and
-ftruncate(). truncate() and ftruncate() are considered to be "write" actions
-for the purposes of mandatory locking.
-
-The affected region is usually defined as stretching from the current position
-for the total number of bytes read or written. For the truncate calls it is
-defined as the bytes of a file removed or added (we must also consider bytes
-added, as a lock can specify just "the whole file", rather than a specific
-range of bytes.)
-
-Note 3: I may have overlooked some system calls that need mandatory lock
-checking in my eagerness to get this code out the door. Please let me know, or
-better still fix the system calls yourself and submit a patch to me or Linus.
-
-6. Warning!
------------
-
-Not even root can override a mandatory lock, so runaway processes can wreak
-havoc if they lock crucial files. The way around it is to change the file
-permissions (remove the setgid bit) before trying to read or write to it.
-Of course, that might be a bit tricky if the system is hung :-(
-
-7. The "mand" mount option
---------------------------
-Mandatory locking is disabled on all filesystems by default, and must be
-administratively enabled by mounting with "-o mand". That mount option
-is only allowed if the mounting task has the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability.
-
-Since kernel v4.5, it is possible to disable mandatory locking
-altogether by setting CONFIG_MANDATORY_FILE_LOCKING to "n". A kernel
-with this disabled will reject attempts to mount filesystems with the
-"mand" mount option with the error status EPERM.
