There is also a larger patch series not included that improves special files and symlink support and improves reparse point handling (from Paulo) that looks reasonably low risk but is larger so is not included. I am ok with sending that series earlier than 6.9-rc if requested. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Paulo Alcantara (1): smb: client: increase number of PDUs allowed in a compound request Shyam Prasad N (4): cifs: make sure that channel scaling is done only once cifs: avoid redundant calls to disable multichannel cifs: do not search for channel if server is terminating cifs: failure to add channel on iface should bump up weight fs/smb/client/cifsglob.h | 5 ++++- fs/smb/client/sess.c | 6 ++++++ fs/smb/client/smb2pdu.c | 24 +++++++++++++++++++----- fs/smb/client/transport.c | 4 ++-- 4 files changed, 31 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) -- Thanks, Steve
