Hi Greg,

I have not applied these to stable kernel versions yet.
So no testing has been run on stable trees yet.
Let me work on patches to the stable trees and share them with you soon.

All the tests so far have been with the mainline kernel.
The testing involved simulated network disconnects when the Linux
kernel source code was being copied into the SMB share.
Our team has been running stress tests on the mainline kernel, and
there's nothing alarming seen so far.
Also, these changes have not regressed any of the xfstests.
