use IPC$ access by host name while host name length are 8 and 9 connection create will fail. the tree connect response compare by the normal miss some part. my config way is guest access

[realszx]

the root cause is host name length is 8 or 9, while do srvsvc will happen nla_put fail in message request to userspace.

@realszx Can you send a pull request to fix this ?

[realszx]

@namjaejeon thanks to reply, I'm not sure the tmp fix is reasonable or not. tmp fix is skb = genlmsg_new(msg->sz + 4, GFP_KERNEL). I guess it is a pad length calculte error. final root cause is not clear, I still need trace.

@realszx Can you help me reproduce this issue ? can you share your smb.conf ?
