[PATCH 4/6] CIFS: Use d_automount() rather than abusing follow_link()
Make CIFS use the new d_automount() dentry operation rather than abusing follow_link() on directories. [NOTE: THIS IS UNTESTED!] [Question: Why does cifs_dfs_do_refmount() when the caller has already done that and could pass the result through?] Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells(a)redhat.com> Cc: S... 22 Jul 2010 14:42

Make cifs_convert_address() take a const src pointer and a length so that all the strlen() calls in their can be cut out and to make it unnecessary to modify the src string.

[PATCH 5/6] DNS: Implement option parsing on dns_resolver results
From: Wang Lei <wang840925(a)gmail.com> When the dns_resolver upcall program packages results and instantiates its key with them, the offered data may have a number of options appended to it. Each option is of the form: #key=value This implements an option by which the key's expiry time can be set from the ... 22 Jul 2010 14:42

[PATCH 2/6] CIFS: Fix a malicious redirect problem in the DNS lookup code
Fix the security problem in the CIFS filesystem DNS lookup code in which a malicious redirect could be installed by a random user by simply adding a result record into one of their keyrings with add_key() and then invoking a CIFS CFS lookup [CVE-2010-2524]. This is done by creating an internal keyring specificall... 22 Jul 2010 14:42
