Thanks Greg! Shyam, Steven, now the commit was reverted for the older brnaches. But did you got a chance to find why it breaks for the older series?

That commit has revealed another bug in cifs_mount() where we failed to update the super's prefix path after chasing DFS referrals.

Newer kernel versions do not have it because the code & logic in cifs_mount() changed entirely.
