Call this oid_eq()?
Why not compare_oid()? This code is come from cifs.
I need clear reason to change both cifs/cifsd...

Boolean functions should tell you what they are testing in the name.
Without any context you can't know what if (compare_oid(one, two)) {
means, but if (oid_equal(one, two)) { is readable.

ahm just a pointless comment. but
return !memcmp(oid1,oid2, sizeof(long*)*oid1len);
looks much more efficient than this "for" loop
