CIFS SMB2/SMB3 does not work for domain based DFS

Why no activity at all? Should I post this bug to Debian?

I built a test kernel with the three commits mentioned in the description. The test kernel can be downloaded from:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~jsalisbury/lp1747572

Can you test this kernel and see if it resolves this bug?

Note, to test this kernel, you need to install both the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks! Bug is resolved. Mount command was successful without errors. Tested 1.0/2.0/2.1/3.0 versions.
One red in dmesg: "CIFS VFS: BAD_NETWORK_NAME: \\domain.local\storage"

Submitted SRU request:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2018-March/090705.html

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-artful' to 'verification-done-artful'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-artful' to 'verification-failed-artful'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

Successfully tested in xenial. All mount commands is work.

TEST FAIL in artful with that kernel:

Looks like kernel not patched at all. Is there any mistake? Why kernel in artful lesser than in xenial?

People, please, help with feedback.

@Sergey, you are looking at the version number of two different meta packages. One is providing the 4.13 kernel in the Xenial release and the other the 4.13 kernel within the Artful release. The more important part is that you are *running* the right kernel (uname -a). The output should contain 4.13.0-38 in both cases. The base of the HWE kernel in Xenial is the Artful kernel, so the patches are applied to both.

@Stefan
I'm pretty sure I tested the latest kernels from proposed. But in case with artful test fail with old symptoms. Futhermore mounting DFS share with SMB1 protocol fails too with error: "mount error(6): No such device or address" and dmesg output: "
cifs_mount failed w/return code = -6"
I have nothing to compare, because I have not tested artful before patch, but it is strange for me that the patch works for xenial but not for artful. I tested twice.

Direct shares was mounted successfuly in both distros.

@Stefan
Sorry, it was my bad :)
Tests in artful successfuly PASSED. All protocols works as expected.
The reason they were fail was trivial. According to docs "To use cifs Kerberos and DFS support, the Linux keyutils package should be installed" what was not true :o)
Can you change tag to verification-done ?\

Finally :) Thanks all for you work!

This bug has reappeared with kernel 5.0.x for me, and is still there with 5.3.x
On an 18.04 system with kernel 4.15.x everything works fine.
When I installed linux-image-generic-hwe-18.04, CIFS on a domain based DFS stopped working, due to the switch first to kernel 5.0.x, then later to 5.3.x.
