Yes - that is as expected and we appreciate the confirmation.

That is also as expected - it might be one it might be two bugs.  Seeing
EAGAIN coming back either from the socket API or (even after many retries)
or perhaps due to a dead socket ... (server bug? network hardware?).  The
client usually handles those, closes/reopens the socket, retries the read
etc. but perhaps we have a bug in an error path in cifs_readpages or
SMBRead
