We don't want to include the NULL terminator in the dentry name length however since that'll throw off the hash calculation for the dentry cache. I believe that this is the root cause of several problems that have cropped up recently that seem to be papered over with the "noserverino" mount option. More confirmation of that would be good, but this is clearly a bug and it fixes at least one reproducible problem that was reported. This patch fixes at least this reproducer in this kernel.org bug: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15088#c12 Reported-by: Bjorn Tore Sund <bjorn.sund@it.uib.no> Acked-by: Dave Kleikamp <shaggy@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com> diff --git a/fs/cifs/readdir.c b/fs/cifs/readdir.c index c53b33c..c8a7a97 100644 --- a/fs/cifs/readdir.c +++ b/fs/cifs/readdir.c @@ -925,6 +925,7 @@ static int cifs_get_name_from_search_buf(struct qstr *pqst, min(len, max_len), nlt, cifs_sb->mnt_cifs_flags & CIFS_MOUNT_MAP_SPECIAL_CHR); + pqst->len -= nls_nullsize(nlt); } else { pqst->name = filename; pqst->len = len;
