From 46a7574caf5bc533c24b315800ed323c187614f5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Layton Date: Sun, 24 May 2009 18:45:17 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] cifs: fix artificial limit on reading symlinks There's no reason to limit the size of a symlink that we can read to 4000 bytes. That may be nowhere near PATH_MAX if the server is sending UCS2 strings. CIFS should be able to read in a symlink up to the size of the buffer. The size of the header has already been accounted for when creating the slabcache, so CIFSMaxBufSize should be the correct size to pass in. Fixes samba bug #6384.
