2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Theodore Ts'o commit a21102b55c4f8dfd3adb4a15a34cd62237b46039 upstream. 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.
