Re: BUG: vfs-cifs hangs from windows explorer: access denied: cause write size

[Amin Azez]

Well this is the patch that proves the bug; sadly the client doesn't
take the hint, and keeps sending large writes, but at least the files
get saved.

I/we still need to work out how to propagate the real limit.

I think we ought to have this patch as a safety net; and if not the
solution, at least the warning.
