Commit 1a967d6c9b ("correctly to
anonymous authentication for the NTLM(v2) authentication") introduces
a regression in handling errors related to attempting a guest
connection to a Windows share which requires authentication. This
should result in a permission denied error but actually causes the
kernel module to enter a never-ending loop trying to follow a DFS
referal which doesn't exist.
The base cause of this is the failure now occurs later in the process
during tree connect and not at the session setup setup and all errors
in tree connect are interpreted as needing to follow the DFS paths
which isn't in this case correct. So, check the returned error against
EACCES and fail if this is returned error.
Feedback from Aurelien:
PS> net user guest /activate:no
PS> mkdir C:\guestshare
PS> icacls C:\guestshare /grant 'Everyone:(OI)(CI)F'
PS> new-smbshare -name guestshare -path C:\guestshare -fullaccess Everyone
I've tested v3.10, v4.4, master, master+your patch using default options
(empty or no user "NU") and user=abc (U).
NT_LOGON_FAILURE in session setup: LF
This is what you seem to have in 3.10.
NT_ACCESS_DENIED in tree connect to the share: AD
This is what you get before your infinite loop.
| NU U
--------------------------------
3.10 | LF LF
4.4 | LF LF
master | AD LF
master+patch | AD LF
No infinite DFS loop :(
All these issues result in mount failing very fast with permission denied.
I guess it could be from either the Windows version or the share/folder
ACL. A deeper analysis of the packets might reveal more.
In any case I did not notice any issues for on a basic DFS setup with
the patch so I don't think it introduced any regressions, which is
probably all that matters. It still bothers me a little I couldn't hit
the bug.
I've included kernel output w/ debugging output and network capture of
my tests if anyone want to have a look at it. (master+patch = ml-guestfix).

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
