From: Mark Syms Subject: [PATCH] Handle guest access failures Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2016 11:36:45 +0000 Message-ID: <20161129113646.13360-1-mark.syms@citrix.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Cc: To: , Return-path: Sender: linux-cifs-owner-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org List-ID: When testing SMB filesystem access with XenServer we discovered that if guest access is attempted to a Windows share that requires authentication the connection establishment stage in the kernel went into a non-recoverable (without kill -9 of the mount command) loop attempting to follow a DFS referal. The cause of this is that the error now surfaces later in the process than previously and all errors were considered to be the same and caused a DFS referal step.
