I may be doing something incorrect, but with the cifs built with
latest git tree sources from Steve French's git tree,
when I access the dfs link (ll /mnt/dfsroot/dfslink), my system hangs.
I did apply Igor's patch and the same thing happens.
With the cifs from 2.6.27 I do have any problems, the same link
acccess works (i.e. lists the files on the dfslink'ed share
on the Samba server).
