Uploaded in Bionic/18.04LTS.

It is now waiting for SRU team approval for the package to start
building in bionic-proposed pocket for its testing/verification phase.

** Description changed:

  For Bionic release, current cifs-utils package version is 6.8-1. This
  version is missing an ACL tools fix that is needed for Azure xSMB.
  
  Commit in question which needs to be backported:
  0feb1a80f3777f4c244b46958aa9f730de9e18b6 setcifsacl: fix adding ACE when
  owner sid in unexpected location
  
  [Impact]
  
   * The bug shows up with mounted cifs/smb filesystem, when a user tries
  to modify the DACL for the files/directories in the mount. If the
  owner/group ACEs do not appear first in the DACL (happens quite easily
  with Azure file shares). The setcifsacl command in cifs-utils fails in
  that case:
  
  $ setcifsacl -a ‘ACL:MYDOMAIN\domuser:DENIED/0x0/FULL’ /mnt/test/abc
  main: setxattr error: Invalid argument
  
   * With the fix available in commit
  0feb1a80f3777f4c244b46958aa9f730de9e18b6, the above error is not
  returned, and the command works.
  
  [Regression potential]
  
+ The fix has been created by Microsoft and approved by cifs-utils
+ upstream maintainers.
+ 
+ The fix has been tested pre-SRU by Microsoft/Azure themselves, and they
+ confirm everything is working as expected with this fix using the test
+ case above.
+ 
+ The fix is found in Ubuntu with Eoan and onwards.
