cifs: ignore ipc reconnect failures during dfs failover
If it failed to reconnect ipc used for getting referrals, we can just ignore it as it is not required for reconnecting the share. The worst case would be not being able to detect or chase nested links as long as dfs root server is unreachable. Before patch: $ mount.cifs //root/dfs/link /mnt -o echo_interval=10,... -> target share: /fs0/share disconnect root & fs0 $ ls /mnt ls: cannot access '/mnt': Host is down connect fs0 $ ls /mnt ls: cannot access '/mnt': Resource temporarily unavailable After patch: $ mount.cifs //root/dfs/link /mnt -o echo_interval=10,... -> target share: /fs0/share disconnect root & fs0 $ ls /mnt ls: cannot access '/mnt': Host is down connect fs0 $ ls /mnt bar.rtf dir1 foo Signed-off-by:Paulo Alcantara (SUSE) <pc@cjr.nz> Reviewed-by:
