Thanks.

Without this patch (commit 2a04cd4c7 aka v2.6.33-rc6~29^2~33), Mason
(cc-ed) is not able to use appletalk[1]:

| With Linux 2.6.32 as supplied with Debian Squeeze, Netatalk is unable

| files will take a very long time and/or eventually time out.
|

|
| Installing Linux 3.2 from backports, with no other changes to the system,
| allows afpd to work correctly.

Ben sent a copy of this patch to try against 2.6.32.y and it worked.
Would it be possible to include this in the 2.6.32.y-longterm tree?

Sincerely,
Jonathan

Hi Willy,

Please consider

  2a04cd4c7d41 appletalk:: da.s_net not copied bu assigned to itself
               in aarp_rcv()

for application to the 2.6.32.y tree.

Without this patch, Mason (cc-ed) is not able to use appletalk[1]:

| With Linux 2.6.32 as supplied with Debian Squeeze, Netatalk is unable
| to thrive. Connections made to afpd will open, but attempting to transfer
| files will take a very long time and/or eventually time out.
|
| I've noted this with both Netatalk as supplied with Squeeze and with
| Netatalk 2.2.1 built from the Wheezy source package, which I evidently
| need for AFP 3 support.

Though this bug is very old.  Presumably no one noticed because no one
was using proxy-AARP.

The patch was merged upstream in 2.6.33-rc6.  Mason tested it against
Debian's 2.6.32.y-based kernel in March and found it to work, and the
patch has been part of Debian's stable kernel since then without
triggering any complaints.

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
