Microsoft has asked to have commit 4e456b30f78c429b183db420e23b26cde7e03a78 applied.
A customer is reporting difficulties, though details are quite sparse.
The first 2 patches are scaffolding to make the backport simpler.
[Impact]
CIFS connections fail.
[Test Plan]
A test kernel made available to Microsoft has been verified to fix the problem.
[Where problems could occur]
This could perturb CIFS connections in new and different ways.
