6.7-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Shyam Prasad N <sprasad@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit a68106a6928e0a6680f12bcc7338c0dddcfe4d11 ]
When the network stack returns various errors, we today bubble
up the error to the user (in case of soft mounts).
This change translates all network errors except -EINTR and
-EAGAIN to -ECONNABORTED. A similar approach is taken when
we receive network errors when reading from the socket.
The change also forces the cifsd thread to reconnect during
it's next activity.
