Hi,

please backport the following path to 4.4.x and 4.9.x

subject: cifs: Fix a race condition with cifs_echo_request hash: f2caf901c1b7ce65f9e6aef4217e3241039db768

It does not apply cleanly, can you provide a working backport so that we can queue it up properly?

Sure, just did that. The 4.4 one has been runtime-tested since a few days, but the bug is hard to trigger. The 4.9 has only been compile-time tested.

They are backports, and Pavel already confirmed that this should be done. That was in a personal email though ...

thanks,
