Paulo Alcantara aaa3aef34d cifs: set up next DFS target before generic_ip_connect()
If we mount a very specific DFS link

    \\FS0.FOO.COM\dfs\link -> \FS0\share1, \FS1\share2

where its target list contains NB names ("FS0" & "FS1") rather than
FQDN ones ("FS0.FOO.COM" & "FS1.FOO.COM"), we end up connecting to
\FOO\share1 but server->hostname will have "FOO.COM".  The reason is
because both "FS0" and "FS0.FOO.COM" resolve to same IP address and
they share same TCP server connection, but "FS0.FOO.COM" was the first
hostname set -- which is OK.

However, if the echo thread timeouts and we still have a good
connection to "FS0", in cifs_reconnect()

    rc = generic_ip_connect(server) -> success
    if (rc) {
            ...
            reconn_inval_dfs_target(server, cifs_sb, &tgt_list,
	                            &tgt_it);
            ...
     }
     ...

it successfully reconnects to "FS0" server but does not set up next
DFS target - which should be the same target server "\FS0\share1" -
and server->hostname remains set to "FS0.FOO.COM" rather than "FS0",
as reconn_inval_dfs_target() would have it set to "FS0" if called
earlier.

Finally, in __smb2_reconnect(), the reconnect of tcons would fail
because tcon->ses->server->hostname (FS0.FOO.COM) does not match DFS
target's hostname (FS0).

Fix that by calling reconn_inval_dfs_target() before
generic_ip_connect() so server->hostname will get updated correctly
prior to reconnecting its tcons in __smb2_reconnect().

With "cifs: handle hostnames that resolve to same ip in failover"
patch

    - The above problem would not occur.
    - We could save an DNS query to find out that they both resolve to
      the same ip address.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
