2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: "Theodore Ts'o" (cherry picked from commit e6b8bc09ba2075cd91fbffefcd2778b1a00bd76f) Make sure the rec_len field in the '..' entry is sane, lest we overrun the directory block and cause a kernel oops on a purposefully corrupted filesystem.
