Andrew,
Just wanted to double check our tentative decision to defer pushing the current cifs-stable
tree bug fixes into mainline until 2.6.17 comes out. The tree
rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sfrench/cifs-2.6-stable.git
recently finished testing out ok, looks fine and contains only low risk fixes, but it looks
like it is too late to recommend pushing it upstream right? There is a much bigger
change (Note: that the backlevel server support for cifs client which is needed
in order to deprecate smbfs, and enable better security negotation, and which is
much larger, and thus in a distinct tree temporarily while I am testing,
is not included in the list below). The following fixes could be pushed easily enough
and include:
- a small memory leak on every session reconnect (after e.g. server or network failure)
- working support for advisory posix locking to current samba (with /proc/fs/cifs/Experimental on)
- a fix for a rare oops
- a fix for long share names in certain asian languages
- a fix for passing O_TRUNC which works around a bug in a less common NAS appliance
and would update the following files:

[CIFS] ACPI suspend oops
Wasn't able to reproduce a hard hang, but was able to get an oops if
suspended the machine during a copy to the cifs mount. This led to some
things
hanging, including a "sync". Also got I/O errors when trying to
access the mount afterwards (even when didn't see the oops), and had
to unmount and remount in order to access the filesystem.
This patch fixed the oops.
