Hello In fs/cifs/cifssmb.c, in CIFSSMBSetEA (...) function wrong counting of var exists.
EXISTING CODE: pSMB->DataCount = sizeof(*parm_data) + ea_value_len + name_len + 1; MUST BE: pSMB->DataCount = sizeof(*parm_data) + ea_value_len + name_len; REASON: "sizeof(*parm_data)" counts 1 byte from "char name[1];" So, for example in Samba server (sources/smbd/trans2.c), we can see wrong processing of EA, cause data sent to server is bigger on 1 byte then it must be.
