6.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Paulo Alcantara <pc@manguebit.org>
commit d9d1e319b39ea685ede59319002d567c159d23c3 upstream.
When mounting a share with 'multichannel,max_channels=n,sec=krb5i',
the client was duplicating signing key for all secondary channels,
thus making the server fail all commands sent from secondary channels
due to bad signatures.
Every channel has its own signing key, so when establishing a new
channel with krb5 auth, make sure to use the new session key as the
derived key to generate channel's signing key in SMB2_auth_kerberos().
Repro:
$ mount.cifs //srv/share /mnt -o multichannel,max_channels=4,sec=krb5i
$ sleep 5
$ umount /mnt
$ dmesg
...
