Hi,
I would like to draw your attention to #1105747 [1] which affects
enterprise installations where kerberized cifs mounts are used. I am
not sure if anybody is aware of this issue.
Right now, the trixie kernel and cifs-utils do not fit together
(c.f. reported bug above). Some more background I could find:
• cifs-utils added a new mount option upcall_target [2] recently
• the corresponding linux patch landed in the 6.13 kernel tree [3]
Perhaps the patch can be backported to trixie's kernel version.
I have asked stable maintainers upstream, and it got queued for the
6.12.y stable series:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git/commit/?id=7294cf6ff42482531f62f9b2a74d9c7ee00bbb59
I'm not reassigning the bug to src:linux as I think the cifs-utils
might need to handle such situation more gracefully? I.e. usually we
cannot across packages in distribution guarantee such a lockstep
update.
cifs-uitls maintainers, might that be something which can be handled
on both sides? At least for upstream 6.12.y should look good now per
se.
Regards,
Salvatore
