SubjectRe: What's a good default TTL for DNS keys in the kernel
commit 28eb24ff75c5ac130eb326b3b4d0dcecfc0f427d
Author: Paulo Alcantara <paulo@paulo.ac>

cifs: Always resolve hostname before reconnecting

In case a hostname resolves to a different IP address (e.g. long
running mounts), make sure to resolve it every time prior to calling
generic_ip_connect() in reconnect.
...

(Note that this patch may have some minor dependencies on a few other
DFS related patches that were merged immediately before it.
