Public bug reported:
SRU Justification
[Impact]
Microsoft is asking to have 3 CIFS patches backported to focal/linux-
azure.
506c1da44fee32ba1d3a70413289ad58c772bba6 ("cifs: use the expiry output of
dns_query to schedule next resolution")
4ac0536f8874a903a72bddc57eb88db774261e3a ("cifs: set a minimum of 120s for next
dns resolution")
7be3248f313930ff3d3436d4e9ddbe9fccc1f541 ("cifs: To match file servers, make
sure the server hostname matches")
This is a second attempt because the first backport attempt caused a
regression. This set has been thoroughly tested by Microsoft, especially
for the case that was causing the regression (DFS enabled shares).
[Where things could go wrong]
Share connection attempts could fail. DFS shares could cause kernel
panics.
