Hello Greg, Can you please consider including the following patch in the stable linux-4.14.y branch? This is to fix a broken dependency for config option CONFIG_CIFS_POSIX

04f67ed3d83a ("cifs: allow disabling insecure dialects in the config")

I do not see that commit in Linus's tree, are you sure the sha1 is correct?

Following commit introduced a dependency for CONFIG_CIFS_POSIX on the config CONFIG_CIFS_ALLOW_INSECURE_LEGACY, but the above mentioned commit that had enable CONFIG_CIFS_POSIX in 4.14.94.

ab9697222a1d ("cifs: In Kconfig CONFIG_CIFS_POSIX needs depends on legacy (insecure cifs)")

Was the above patch incorrectly applied? Should it just be dropped instead?

thanks,
