Subject: Linux 4.13: Reported regressions as of Monday, 2017-08-14

Hi! Find below my third regression report for Linux 4.13. It lists 11
regressions I'm currently aware of (or 10 if you count the two scsi-mq
regressions discussions as one). 4 regressions are new; 3 got fixed
since last weeks report (two others didn't even make it to the report,
as they were quickly fixed); 1 gets removed. You can also find the
report at http://bit.ly/lnxregrep413 where I try to update it every now
and then.

As always: Are you aware of any other regressions? Then please let me
know. For details see http://bit.ly/lnxregtrackid And please tell me if
there is anything in the report that shouldn't be there.

Ciao, Thorsten

P.S.: Thx to all those that CCed me on regression reports or provided
other input, it makes compiling these reports a whole lot easier!

P.P.S.: Sorry, I adjusted the report structure again because I added a
new field that shows the date when a proper kernel developer (normally:
one that is working in the affected subsystem) looked into issue. That
should hopefully make it easier to spot regressions that are getting
ignored or got stuck somehow.

CIFS mount error -112 due to "SMB3 by default for security reasons"

That's a security change, but one that IMHO at least could have been
