Can you tell the called function in cifs_setattr_unix vs. cifs_setattr_nounix
(the former will usually be called when the server is Samba, the latter
when the server is Windows or NetApp). What is the server type?

Didn't see anything obvious in cifs_setattr_unix on the kmalloc/kfree
of full_path,
but it will help when we know which path we are in. We did make some recent
changes in 2.6.37 in file allocation.
