From 479c2553af9a176a0613894b9f1ec73425fd56a3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Petr Vandrovec Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2009 10:47:07 +0100 Subject: Fix memory corruption caused by nfsd readdir+ Commit 8177e6d6dfb9cd03d9bdeb647c32161f8f58f686 ("nfsd: clean up readdirplus encoding") introduced single character typo in nfs3 readdir+ implementation. Unfortunately that typo has quite bad side effects: random memory corruption, followed (on my box) with immediate spontaneous box reboot. Using 'p1' instead of 'p' fixes my Linux box rebooting whenever VMware ESXi box tries to list contents of my home directory. Signed-off-by: Petr Vandrovec Cc: "J.
