Commit 28eb24ff75c5 ("cifs: Always resolve hostname before reconnecting").
In case a hostname resolves to a different IP address (e.g. long running mounts), make sure to resolve it every time prior to calling generic_ip_connect() in reconnect.
This patch needs user space changes of cifs.upcall that set a timeout value for the "dns_resolver" key.
