This looks interesting, too, as the "issue" seems to be triggered by
programs doing "settime calls" on open file-handles.
Pardon me some more questions, as I'm not familiar with your
development system: How could I test these patches? Could I apply them
directly to the cifs sources in a current Linux kernel? Or is there a
publicly accessible source repository somewhere, which has the patches
already? I did not find any information on the website
http://linux-cifs.samba.org (which, btw, does not look very current
generally ;-)
Best regards,
