Public bug reported: When using Azure Files, a "Host is down" error can occur with the Linux CIFS client when the client has been idle for an extended period of time. Commit 4fcd1813e640 mostly resolved this issue and is already integrated into the Xenial kernel.
The following additional patch is needed to fully resolve a related corner case.
