  Are you sure it's in .37?

  Would you please be so kind and send the patch to this thread?

This is the commit I'm thinking of:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=37a09f07459753e7c98d4e21f1c61e8756923f81

NFS: Fix a readdirplus bug

When comparing filehandles in the helper nfs_same_file(), we should not be
using 'strncmp()': filehandles are not null terminated strings.

Instead, we should just use the existing helper nfs_compare_fh().
