Hi Chris,

Thanks for reporting! Looking at the difference between
4.15.0-142-generic and 4.15.0-143-generic, there is one commit:

ubuntu-bionic$ git log --grep "cifs"

    cifs: Set CIFS_MOUNT_USE_PREFIX_PATH flag on setting
cifs_sb->prepath.

    [ Upstream commit a738c93fb1c17e386a09304b517b1c6b2a6a5a8b ]

    While debugging another issue today, Steve and I noticed that if a
    subdir for a file share is already mounted on the client, any new
    mount of any other subdir (or the file share root) of the same share
    results in sharing the cifs superblock, which e.g. can result in
    incorrect device name.

    While setting prefix path for the root of a cifs_sb,
    CIFS_MOUNT_USE_PREFIX_PATH flag should also be set.
    Without it, prepath is not even considered in some places,
    and output of "mount" and various /proc/<>/*mount* related
    options can be missing part of the device name.

This has caused problems before, in bug 1923670, where we wrote to
upstream and had it reverted from upstream -stable and reverted it from
our kernels.

Having a look through the git history, I see the revert actually landed
in 4.15.0-144-generic, which has just landed in -updates (but not quite
yet in -security).

    It is reported to cause problems in older kernels, so revert it for now
    until we can figure it out...

Could you please try 4.15.0-144-generic and let me know if it fixes it
for you? It should be fixed there.

Thanks,

Title:
  mount.cifs fails to mount DFS shares

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Since the release of the latest kernel (vmlinuz-4.15.0-143-generic), a
  cifs mount like this fails:-

    mount.cifs --verbose -o 'user=XXX,dom=DOMAIN,vers=3.0,uid=XXX'
  '//DOMAIN.f.q.d.n/SHARE/FOLDER' /tmp/mount-point

  Dropping back to the previous kernel (vmlinuz-4.15.0-142-generic) or
  locating the DFS share on a windows box and picking its currently
  active member server both appear to be ways of working-around this
  particular fault.
