It really wasn't picked up from a stable tree as far as I could tell, 
which is why I didn't put the 'backported from' line in here. I guess I 
considered it sufficient that we know from what upstream commit it does 
descend from, i.e., 'commit 7be3248f313930ff3d3436d4e9ddbe9fccc1f541 
upstream'. As noted in the commit log, I received this from the 
Microsoft team (probably done by Steve French the CIFS maintainer).
