Subject: [PATCH] cifs: serialize all mount attempts
Date: Tue, 18 Jan 2022 12:16:57 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220118021657.2145245-1-lsahlber@redhat.com> (raw)

RHBZ: 2008434

Some servers, such as Windows2016 have a very low number of concurrent mounts that
they allow from each client.
This can be a problem if you have a more than a handful (==3 in this case)
of cifs entries in your fstab and cause a number of the mounts there to randomly fail.

Add a global mutex and use it to serialize all mount attempts.
