v5.4-rc1~8^2~37 df58fae72428 smb3: Incorrect size for netname negotiate
context
v5.5-rc1~3^2~4 43f8a6a74ee2 smb3: query attributes on file close
v5.7-rc1~155^2~22 cf5371ae460e smb3: fix performance regression with setting
mtime
v5.8-rc7~15^2 0e6705182d4e Revert "cifs: Fix the target file was deleted
when rename failed."
The first commit was accepted upstream before 5.4 and the last two were
already included to Focal via the upstream stable updates LP:#1873481
and LP:#1889669.
Groovy doesn't need any of the changes because all of them where
included before 5.8.
The only one missing is commit id 43f8a6a74ee2 ("smb3: query attributes
on file close").

[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.
