Bug description:
[Impact]
Microsoft's CIFS product team requested to ensure below patches are
available in 5.4 kernel
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/fs/cifs?id=df58fae72428be113f041fe55c9605a9088bfb14
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/fs/cifs?id=0e6705182d4e1b77248a93470d6d7b3013d59b30
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/fs/cifs?id=cf5371ae460eb8e484e4884747af270c86c3c469
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/fs/cifs?id=43f8a6a74ee2442b9410ed297f5d4c77e7cb5ace
I notice couple commits are already picked up in 5.4 kernel. Just
sharing the CIFS patch commit requests came in.
[Test Case]
Since those are small improvements a basic smoke test can be used to
avoid regressions:
1. Install cifs-utils and dbench:
$ sudo apt-get install cifs-utils dbench
2. Mount a CIFS share using:
$ sudo mount -t cifs -o username=REMOTEUSER
\\remoteip\path\to\shared\folder /mnt
3. Run dbench and check for regressions:
$ cd /mnt; dbench 20 -t 120 -D .
[Regression potential]
The regression potential is restricted to the ability of mounting and
accessing CIFS volumes.
