We've seen customers having shares mounted in paths like /??/C:/ or /??/UNC/foo.example.com/share in order to get their native SMB symlinks successfully followed from different mounts. After commit12b466eb52("cifs: Fix creating and resolving absolute NT-style symlinks"), the client would then convert absolute paths from "/??/C:/" to "/mnt/c/" by default. The absolute paths would vary depending on the value of symlinkroot= mount option. Fix this by restoring old behavior of not trying to convert absolute paths by default. Only do this if symlinkroot= was _explicitly_ set.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
