samba - Feb 2017 - Samba 4.4.5 and multi-channel

Hello,

Synology NAS manufacturer has just released it's new DSM 6.1 version.

This new version is loaded with Samba 4.4.5 and is build with the
options that allow (through config file, not the main interface) to
enable multi channel (of course I've seen that this feature is tagged as
experimental.)

Some users (including me) have been testing it and a few reports are
made here : https://forum.synology.com/enu/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=128482

Are there any known bugs/limitations ? I've seen the bug traker
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11897 mentions some possible
issues when oplocks are enabled. Are there other points ?

Is there a schedule estimation to stable feature ?

Best regards

Mathieu

Problems are missing break retry code if one of
the interfaces fails / gets shut down at the wrong
time.

I'm hoping for 4.7.x.
