Logs and tcpdump trace files

We are experiencing problems with mounting a DFS share with smb protocol version 2.0 and above on a Windows Server 2008 R2. We have tested the DFS connection on a Ubuntu 16.04.3 system with kernel 4.12.5 from mainline ppa. The command for testing was:

mount -v -t cifs //office.babiel.com/Organisation /mnt/dfs -o username=<username>,domain=OFFICE,vers=2.0

mount -v -t cifs //office.babiel.com/Organisation /mnt/dfs -o username=<username>,domain=OFFICE,vers=2.1

Please find the logs and traces from these commands attached:

echo 'module cifs +p' > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control
echo 'file fs/cifs/* +p' > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control
echo 1 > /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI
echo 1 > /sys/module/dns_resolver/parameters/debug
     
dmesg --clear
tcpdump -w ${testcase}.pcap & pid=$!
sleep 3
mount.cifs .... (see above)
sleep 3
kill $pid
dmesg > ${testcase}.log

Finally taking a look at this.

This seems to also be a problem of cifs.ko failing the initial tree connect and not using the IPC tcon for dfs at the right time.

This is a dupe of #12917
