SRU Justification:

Impact:
If a cifs share is mounted in ubuntu-natty and we try to suspend cifsd
prevents the laptop from suspending.

Fix:
Apply f06ac72e929115f2772c29727152ba0832d641e4 cherry picked from
upstream commit (this is already in ubuntu-oneric) to ubuntu-natty linux
kernel.
This small patch allows the laptop to suspend even if a cifs share is
mounted.

Testcase:
Boot ubuntu-natty. Mount cifs share. Suspend or Hibernate. (This will
not work.)
Boot ubuntu-natty with cifs patch applied. Mount cifs share. Suspend or
Hibernate. (This works.)

The patch looks to be consistent with the upstream patch. However there seemed
to have been a few follow-ups (of which the last one looks a bit worrying):

* [CIFS] Fixup trivial checkpatch warning
* Fix build break when freezer not configured
* PM / Freezer: Reimplement wait_event_freezekillable using
  freezer_do_not_count/freezer_count

Ok, it may not be something to worry as that is about another patch added in the
3.2 time-frame but but so is the initial one...

I was looking at this too.  It looks to me like the cherry picked patch
shouldn't fix the problem without also picking up 2792065 "PM / Freezer:
Make fake_signal_wake_up() wake TASK_KILLABLE tasks too" (although to my
understanding it has been verified to fix the problem, so I'm a bit
confused on that point). 2792065 is later reverted though.

It seems to me that it would be a good idea to additionally pick up
6f35c4a "PM / Freezer: Reimplement wait_event_freezekillable using
freezer_do_not_count/freezer_count" to get to the solution that's now
upstream, and probably e0c8ea1 "Fix build break when freezer not
configured" as well since it's trivial and fixes a potential build
failure.

Ok I'll pick up these patches and test as well.

Looks like you need these patches:

Once accepted these patches would make good material for

Patch

From 7d58ea603394ba00dece56514baca9ffc94b0c64 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com>

Subject: [PATCH] cifs, freezer: add wait_event_freezekillable and have cifs use it

Buglink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/24330

CIFS currently uses wait_event_killable to put tasks to sleep while
they await replies from the server. That function though does not
allow the freezer to run. In many cases, the network interface may
be going down anyway, in which case the reply will never come. The
client then ends up blocking the computer from suspending.

Fix this by adding a new wait_event_freezable variant --
wait_event_freezekillable. The idea is to combine the behavior of
wait_event_killable and wait_event_freezable -- put the task to
sleep and only allow it to be awoken by fatal signals, but also
allow the freezer to do its job.
