[Bug 607311] [NEW] mount.cifs fails with "cannot allocate memory"

[Michael Stevens]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: samba

mstevens at mstevens-desktop:/export % lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Release:	10.04

mstevens at mstevens-desktop:/export % uname -a
Linux mstevens-desktop 2.6.32-23-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 11 07:54:58 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

Trying to mount a CIFS share with mount.cifs gives an "out of memory"
error:

mstevens at mstevens-desktop:/export % sudo mount -t cifs -o credentials=/etc/cifs.credentials,rw,nodev,noexec,nosuid,uid=mstevens,gid=mstevens '\\files.local\backup' /export/backup 
mount error(12): Cannot allocate memory
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

Other shares on the same server can be correctly mounted.

dmesg contains:

[1493914.423643]  CIFS VFS: Send error in QFSAttributeInfo = -5
[1493914.424928]  CIFS VFS: cifs_read_super: get root inode failed
