== SRU Justification ==
Commit 395a2076b406 is needed to fix a bug in Bionic which causes mounting 
SOFS SMB shares to fail.  It was found that this commit fixes the bug
after a reverse bisect.

This fix has already landed in Cosmic.

== Fix ==
395a2076b406 ("cifs: connect to servername instead of IP for IPC$ share)"

== Regression Potential ==
Low.  This is a one liner limited to cifs.  It was also cc'd to upstream
stable, so it has had additional upstrem review.

== Test Case ==
A test kernel was built with this patch and tested by the original bug reporter.
The bug reporter states the test kernel resolved the bug.
