** Description changed: [Impact] Microsoft CIFS team requested below patches to be backported (it was marked for stable last month) to Ubuntu 18.04 and newer. 6988a619f5b7 "cifs: allow syscalls to be restarted in __smb_send_rqst()" - 2659d3bff3e1 cifs: fix interrupted close commands + 2659d3bff3e1 "cifs: fix interrupted close commands" + 214a5ea081e7 "cifs: do not fail __smb_send_rqst if non-fatal signals are pending" Since 6988a619f5b79e4efadea6e19dcfe75fbcd350b5 hasn't been picked up for 5.4.0-1031-azure (the current 18.04 kernel version for Azure image), I would like make a request for backport. [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 + $ sudo apt-get install cifs-utils dbench 2. Mount a CIFS share using: - $ sudo mount -t cifs -o username=REMOTEUSER + $ 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 . + $ cd /mnt; dbench 20 -t 120 -D . [Where problems could occur] The regression potential is restricted to the ability of mounting and accessing CIFS volumes.
