Please pay attention to the bug: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215440 The patch in previous message is a solution. But the problem is more global: after tis patch, Windows SMB server returns undocumented response STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_INVALID to SMB2 CREATE request for DFS referrals at non-ASCII DFS namespace. And 'ls' for mounted non-ASCII DFS namespace fails.
