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/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. ** Affects: linux-azure (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Marcelo Cerri (mhcerri) Status: In Progress ** Affects: linux-azure (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: linux-azure (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-azure in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1896642 Title: Request for CIFS patches to be available in 5.4 kernel Status in linux-azure package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in linux-azure source package in Focal: New 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.
