Subject: Re: [PATCH] ntfs: move check for valid resident attribute offset and
 length

Hi Rustam,

Thank you for the patch but it is not quite correct:

1) The first delta: yes that is a good idea to add this check but the error message is incorrect.  It should say "Corrupt standard information attribute in inode." instead.

2) The second delta: The check of the attribute list attribute needs to remain, i.e. your second delta needs to be deleted.

Please could you address both of the above comments and then resend?  Please then also add: "Acked-by: Anton Altaparmakov <anton@...era.com>" to the patch.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Best regards,

	Anton
