Is there a logging level required and for what application? I don't see 
a mention of cifs.idmap in the journal logs which deepens my suspicion 
that it not being used.
The only reference I see is:

Sep 24 09:32:01 pc-u20 kernel: FS-Cache: Netfs 'cifs' registered for caching
Sep 24 09:32:01 pc-u20 kernel: Key type cifs.spnego registered
Sep 24 09:32:01 pc-u20 kernel: Key type cifs.idmap registered

If I run 'getcifsacl -r /path/to/cifsaclmount/some_file' and then I use 
the 'wbinfo --sid-to-uid' on the returns SID, it reports the proper mapping.

What / how does the cifs.idmap 'upcall' work? What triggers it? I think 
the issue must be in that area.
