Public bug reported:

[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/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.
