From: Namjae Jeon <linkinjeon@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 9ca8581e79e51c57e60b3b8e3b89d816448f49fe upstream. cifs client set 4 to DataLength of create_posix context, which mean Mode variable of create_posix context is only available. So buffer validation of ksmbd should check only the size of Mode except for the size of Reserved variable.
