Hello
Recently we upgraded the linux/cifs part of our stack on our google
cloud VM's.
Some new errors began popping up on kern.log, and our overall knowledge
of both linux and cifs is very basic, so here it goes.
uname -r = 4.19.0-17-cloud-amd64
mount.cifs version: 6.8
The mount command is using mostly defaults,
mount.cifs -v -o user=x,password=y,uid=11,gid=11 //hostdir /mntdir
The host is a windows server 2012 R2 Datacenter, and the host path is on
a NTFS drive
We have done no aditional configuration on windows, we just shared the
directory
The windows servers as a file server to hold our php/js/other system
files, while the linux VMs are the apache servers in a load balancer
environment.
The host path also servers to store cache files from these same
applications running on apache.
The kern.log have been showing a lot of messages. I can't tell the
severity of them. Apparently the system is running normaly and without
crashes.
Here is the example from yesterday, since the mount started. This is
happening to all VMs using this linux image.

from this point on, the "CIFS VFS: No task to wake, unknown frame
received!" message will happen regularly troughout the day.
Looking in /proc/fs/cifs/Stats, I see a lot of creates and oplockbreaks
are failing, altho I can't seem to find the detailed log of each of
these :

I'm tasked with making this as error free as possible. Any suggestions
and help is highly appreciated.
Thanks for your time,
