This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled fsnotify/fdinfo: use named constants instead of hardcoded values to the 3.16-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: fsnotify-fdinfo-use-named-constants-instead-of-hardcoded-values.patch and it can be found in the queue-3.16 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 1fc98d11cac6dd66342e5580cb2687e5b1e9a613 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrey Vagin <avagin@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 9 Sep 2014 14:51:04 -0700 Subject: fsnotify/fdinfo: use named constants instead of hardcoded values From: Andrey Vagin <avagin@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 1fc98d11cac6dd66342e5580cb2687e5b1e9a613 upstream. MAX_HANDLE_SZ is equal to 128, but currently the size of pad is only 64 bytes, so exportfs_encode_inode_fh can return an error.
