create_conn_struct calls SMB_VFS_CONNECT which requires root privileges. SMB_VFS_CONNECT in turn calls dfs_samba4_connect which connects to samdb. Calls were made to this function without ever becoming root (notably via setup_dfs_referral) which resulted in an error and the VFS connect failing. This happens when you have an active directory domain controller with host msdfs = yes in smb.conf and dfs links in place. Description copied from original patch description by Garming Sam.
