Hi Greg, We'll need to debug this further to understand what's going on.
Greg asked it the same happens with 5.4 as well, I do not know I was not able to test 5.4.y (yet) but only 5.10.y and 4.19.y.
Hi Salvatore, Any chance that you'll be able to provide us the cifsFYI logs from the time of mount failure? https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/LinuxCIFS_troubleshooting#Enabling_Debuggin...
Please find it attached. Is this enough information?
The mentioned home DFS link 'home' is a DFS link to msdfs:SECONDHOST\REDACTED on a Samba host.
The mount is triggered as
mount -t cifs //HOSTIP/REDACTED/home /mnt --verbose -o username='REDACTED,domain=DOMAIN'
So I can confirm the issue is both present in 4.19.185 and 5.4.110 upstream (without any Debian patches applied, we do not anyway apply any cifs related one on top of the respetive upstream version).
The issue is not present in 5.10.28.
So I think there are commits as dependency of a738c93fb1c1 ("cifs: Set CIFS_MOUNT_USE_PREFIX_PATH flag on setting cifs_sb->prepath.") which are required and not applied in the released before 5.10.y which make introducing the regression.
Ok, I've dropped this from 5.4 and older kernel trees now, thanks for the report.
