Bug description:
[Impact]
Microsoft CIFS team requested below patches to be backported (it was
marked for stable last month) to Ubuntu 18.04 and newer.
6988a619f5b7 "cifs: allow syscalls to be restarted in __smb_send_rqst()"
2659d3bff3e1 cifs: fix interrupted close commands
Since 6988a619f5b79e4efadea6e19dcfe75fbcd350b5 hasn't been picked up
for 5.4.0-1031-azure (the current 18.04 kernel version for Azure
image), I would like make a request for backport.
[Test Case]
Since those are small improvements a basic smoke test can be used to
avoid regressions:
1. Install cifs-utils and dbench:
$ sudo apt-get install cifs-utils dbench
2. Mount a CIFS share using:
$ sudo mount -t cifs -o username=REMOTEUSER
\\remoteip\path\to\shared\folder /mnt
3. Run dbench and check for regressions:
$ cd /mnt; dbench 20 -t 120 -D .
[Where problems could occur]
The regression potential is restricted to the ability of mounting and
accessing CIFS volumes.
