2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Steve French commit 69765529d701c838df19ea1f5ad2f33a528261ae upstream. Fixes kernel bug #10451 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10451 Certain NAS appliances do not set the operating system or network operating system fields in the session setup response on the wire. cifs was oopsing on the unexpected zero length response fields (when trying to null terminate a zero length field). This fixes the oops.
