Urrrca! This is what I achieve when I do one last fix before
going to sleep.

I spent a bit of time more going through the cifs/smb code and
the most sensful fix looks this

diff --git a/fs/cifs/file.c b/fs/cifs/file.c

                        goto reopen_success;
                }
                /*

There is only one case when reconnect becames false, that is when
open = smb2_open_file and calls SMB2_open() that calls
add_durable_context() that sets reconnect = false with some
nested ifs in between, and still only in case
everything succeeds. We are checking reconnect only for this
case, otherwise we could get rid of the if (oparms.reconnect) and
not falling into the unknown state.

If it makes sense, I can send the above suggestion.

Thanks,
