Please find the backported patches (against v3-6-stable) here -

https://github.com/avati/samba/commits/vfs_glusterfs-v3-6-stable

There was only one conflict in "Remove dependency on detection of 
HAVE_DIRFD for use of fdopendir()." which is resolved in there. Those 
set of patches should cleanly apply on v3-6-stable.

Thanks,
Avati
