Good afternoon!

Unfortunately, our correspondence was interrupted at the stage of discussing 
the shortcomings of the previous patch versions - we still have not received 
the promised comments and suggestions from you.
We have decided to revert to using the name hostname for this option, 
as its application is not limited solely to domain-based DFS resources. 
For example, it can also be used for mounting via CNAME.

We will send the updated versions of the patches for both the CIFS module and 
cifs-utils in the following emails.

  fs/smb/client/fs_context: Add hostname option for CIFS module to work
    with domain-based dfs resources with Kerberos authentication
