Comment 18 for bug 2049634

The patch does seem like a step forwards, but the warning messages are still easy to miss and misleading. I would rather abort the connection than risking a non-functional connection (in the case of the round-up I described with PAGE_SIZE = 64 KiB). I do not think it is a good idea either to modify the user's wsize value (if specified) and carry on: if the system cannot fulfill the user's request due to a temporary software bug, I would rather abort and state the truth.

In order to test the new patch, I would have to devote more of my private time again, and this feels like an uphill battle with diminishing returns.

You (or the cifs developers) should be able to automate tests simulating an old Windows Server with smbd by setting "max xmit" in smb.conf, for example, to an unaligned value just below the current PAGE_SIZE.
