Comment 38 for bug 1572132

Hi and thanks for the additional feedback. This bug has been forwarded to the Samba project [1], and marked as resolved by the patch [2], applied to the Linux kernel. The patch landed in Linux >= 4.19, that is in Ubuntu >= Focal (in linux-image-generic) and even in Bionic via linux-image-generic-hwe-18.04.

However there are reports here about this bug *not* being fixed in Focal and Impish (current devel release). In order to move this forward we need to double-check that we're actually speaking about the same bug. What I'd ask to >= Focal users affected by this bug is to setup the reproducer prepared by Andreas in [1] and double check if that's indeed what happens.

If the bug is still reproducible in >= Focal we may need to reopen the upstream bug. Otherwise, if the behavior is buggy but not *exactly* as described, let's open a new bug.

Waiting for feedback I'm marking this as Incomplete.
