I filed a bug report to the cpython repository here: https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/102503, and @eryksun traced the issue to readdir() returning DT_REG instead of DT_LINK. More details are in the github issue. Can you please confirm that this is an issue in cifs that needs to be addressed, or if there is another reason readdir can't return DT_LINK for an emulated symlink with mfsymlinks?
