For DFS root mounts that contain a prefix path, do not change them after failover. E.g., if the user mounts //srvA/root/dir1 and then lost connection to srvA, it will reconnect to //srvB/root/dir1 In case of DFS links, which may resolve to different prefix paths depending on their list of targets, the following must be supported: - mount //srvA/root/link/bar - connect to //srvA/share - set prefix path to "bar" - lost connection to srvA - reconnect to next target: //srvB/share/foo - set new prefix path to "foo/bar" In cifs_tree_connect(), check the server_type field of the cached DFS referral to determine whether or not prefix path should be updated.
