Interesting.

Generally seems like a good idea.

Jeff made two valid review comments already (on the kmalloc vs. stack,
and the kernel coding style) but note that scripts/checkpatch.pl will
catch additional minor coding style things:

stevef@stevef-laptop:~/smb2$ scripts/checkpatch.pl ~/sm1.patch
WARNING: braces {} are not necessary for single statement blocks
#62: FILE: fs/cifs/link.c:120:
+	if (rc != 0) {
+		return rc;
+	}

Could you clean up the things scripts/checkpatch.pl (and sparse
issues, ie "make modules C=1"  -- if any)
