We can reproduce this on 5.15.148(latest 5.15.y) and Mohamed reported 
this on 6.1.y, so we need backports there as well.

https://lore.kernel.org/all/09738f0f-53a2-43f1-a09d-a2bef48e1344@oracle.com/


[root@vm1 xfstests-dev]# ./check -g quick -s smb3
TEST_DEV=//<SERVER_IP>/TEST is mounted but not a type cifs filesystem
[root@vm1 xfstests-dev]# df
df: /mnt/test: Resource temporarily unavailable


This two patch series doesn't cleanly apply to 5.15.y.

Also I am unsure, which is the better approach to go with

Approach 1 - suggested by Paulo:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/446860c571d0699ed664175262a9e84b@manguebit.com/

Approach 2 - this series
Pulling in [PATCH 2/2] smb3: Replace smb2pdu 1-element arrays with 
flex-arrays like this series did.

I think approach 1 is better as the changes are minimal, but please 
correct me if that seems wrong.

Thanks,
Harshit
