Juding by the base-commit in the cover letter, it is the following tree:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/commit/?id=e53642b87a4f4b03a8d7e5f8507fc3cd0c595ea6

Merge tag 'v6.18-rc3-smb-server-fixes' of git://git.samba.org/ksmbd

Not that I have an idea, _why_ that tree was used, was it really used or
why there are no dependencies mentioned in the footer of the cover
letter.
