_apars.html

Benefits of the solution:
Updated the code to use alloc_file_pseudo() in cxi/cifs register


Work Around:
None

Problem trigger:
A Samba process calls gpfs_register_cifs_export. That results in
the process being registered in a table. This interface calls
alloc_file() which triggers the issue.

Symptom:
Crash

Platforms affected:
Linux Only

Functional Area affected:
GPFS core

Customer Impact:
High Importance
