Mark Sheppard, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc5

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, please comment as to why specifically you were unable to test it and add the following tags:
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  readdir(3) fails for cifs mount in 32-bit process on amd64

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After upgrading a server from januty/amd64 to karmic/amd64 our custom
  written backup program started failing.  A further upgrade to
  lucid/amd64 didn't help.  And testing it on a desktop with
  maverick/amd64 (the one I just ran "ubuntu-bug" on) shows it doesn't
  work on that either.  I've reduced the problem down to being
  readdir(3) failing in 32-bit processes on cifs mounts.

  Hopefully the code in the attached list.c file demonstrates the
  problem.  I compiled it with "gcc -m32 -o list32 list.c && gcc -m64 -o
  list64 list.c" then ran list32 and list64, each with an argument of a
  path to a directory on a cifs mount.  The list32 executable failed
  with "Cannot allocate memory", but list64 works fine.  The remote
  share I'm trying to access is on a machine running Windows Server
  2003.

  Cheers,
  Mark.
