** Description changed:

- If I have any network shares mounted via CIFS, the cifsd process prevents 
klaptop from suspending/hibernating.    
- Unmounting manually first fixes everything. Mounting using smbfs instead of 
cifs lets suspend/hibernate work    
- fine, but that's not a good solution, as smbfs is not the preferred solution. 
I'm not sure if this is specific   
- to klaptop, or if it applies to all power management, as klaptop is the only 
way I can get my laptop to   
- suspend.   
-    
+ SRU Justification:
+ 
+ Impact: 
+ If a cifs share is mounted in ubuntu-natty and we try to suspend cifsd 
prevents the laptop from suspending.
+ 
+ Fix:
+ Apply f06ac72e929115f2772c29727152ba0832d641e4 cherry picked from upstream 
commit to ubuntu-natty linux kernel.
+ This small patch allows the laptop to suspend even if a cifs share is mounted.
+ 
+ Testcase:
+ Boot ubuntu-natty. Suspend. Resume. (This should work.)
+ Boot ubuntu-natty. Mount cifs share. Suspend. (This will not work.)
