If it failed to reconnect ipc used for getting referrals, we can just
ignore it as it is not required for reconnecting the share. The worst
case would be not being able to detect or chase nested links as long
as dfs root server is unreachable.
Before patch:
$ mount.cifs //root/dfs/link /mnt -o echo_interval=10,...
-> target share: /fs0/share
disconnect root & fs0
$ ls /mnt
ls: cannot access '/mnt': Host is down
connect fs0
$ ls /mnt
ls: cannot access '/mnt': Resource temporarily unavailable
After patch:
$ mount.cifs //root/dfs/link /mnt -o echo_interval=10,...
-> target share: /fs0/share
disconnect root & fs0
$ ls /mnt
ls: cannot access '/mnt': Host is down
connect fs0
$ ls /mnt
