The sentence above is rather awkward. Maybe:

	"sets the port number on which the client will attempt to
	contact the CIFS server".

If this value is specified, looking for an existing connection with
this port and try to connect if no such a connection\&. If this value is
specified, looking for an existing connection with this port and try to
connect if no such a connection\&. Return an error if it fails\&. I

	"If this value is specified, look for an existing connection
	with this port, and use that if one exists. If one doesn't
	exist, try to create a new connection on that port. If that
	connection fails, return an error."

If this value isn't specified, looking for an existing connection
with 445 or 139 port\&. If no such a connection, try to connect
with 445 port and if it fails - with 139 port\&. Return an
error if both fail\&.

	"If this value isn't specified, look for an existing connection
	on port 445 or 139. If no such connection exists, try
	to connect on port 445 first and then port 139 if that fails.
	Return an error if both fail.

If my edits look good to you, I'll plan to merge them after Steve
merges the kernel patches.
