- Consider redundant slashes when comparing paths (bsc#982331,

 backport of util-linux-libmount-cifs-is_mounted.patch).

- Use upstream compatibility patches for --show-pt-geometry with
 obsolescence and deprecation warning (bsc#990531)

- Replace cifs mount detection patch with upstream one that covers
 all cases (bsc#987176).

- Reuse existing loop device to prevent possible data corruption
 when multiple -o loop are used to mount a single file
 (bsc#947494)

- Safe loop re-use in libmount, mount and losetup (bsc#947494)

- UPSTREAM DIVERGENCE!!!
 losetup -L continues to use SLE12 SP1 and SP2 specific meaning
 --logical-blocksize instead of upstream --nooverlap (bsc#966891).

- Make release-dependent conflict with old sysvinit-tools SLE
 specific, as it is required only for SLE 11 upgrade,
 and breaks openSUSE staging builds (bsc#994399).

- Extended partition loop in MBR partition table leads to DoS
 (bsc#988361, CVE-2016-5011)");
