From: Eugene Korenevsky <ekorenevsky@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit a637f4ae037e1e0604ac008564934d63261a8fd1 upstream. If smb3_notify() is called at mount point of CIFS, build_path_from_dentry() returns the pointer to kmalloc-ed memory with terminating zero (this is empty FileName to be passed to SMB2 CREATE request). This pointer is assigned to the `path` variable. Then `path + 1` (to skip first backslash symbol) is passed to cifs_convert_path_to_utf16(). This is incorrect for empty path and causes out-of-bound memory access. Get rid of this "increase by one". cifs_convert_path_to_utf16() already contains the check for leading backslash in the path.
