Jiapeng, Aurelien is correct, you should respin this patch and correct for where it breaks the sizeof calculation. For example your change: struct smb2_lock_rsp {@@ -1434,7 +1434,7 @@ struct smb2_query_directory_req { __le16 FileNameOffset; __le16 FileNameLength; __le32 OutputBufferLength; - __u8 Buffer[1]; + __u8 Buffer[]; } __packed;would have the side effect of making the file name off by one: smb2pdu.c-4654- req->FileNameOffset = smb2pdu.c:4655: cpu_to_le16(sizeof(struct smb2_query_directory_req) - 1);FWIW, that sizeof() - 1 should've been offsetof()...
agreed -- Thanks, Steve
