Subject: [PATCH 169/270] SUNRPC: Prevent kernel stack corruption on long values of flush

3.5.7u1 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sasha Levin <levinsasha928@...il.com>

commit 212ba90696ab4884e2025b0b13726d67aadc2cd4 upstream.

The buffer size in read_flush() is too small for the longest possible values
for it. This can lead to a kernel stack corruption:
