Subject: [PATCH 8/9] smb: client: fix domainauto remount by syncing domainname from session
Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2026 09:59:25 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260409095926.905020-8-rajasimandalos@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260409095926.905020-1-rajasimandalos@gmail.com>
From: Rajasi Mandal <rajasimandal@microsoft.com>
When domainauto is used at mount time, ctx->domainname stays NULL
while the server negotiates the actual domain into ses->domainName.
cifs_show_options() reads ses->domainName and outputs domain=X in
/proc/mounts. On remount, libmount re-feeds domain=X, but the
verify check compares against old ctx->domainname (NULL) and rejects
the remount with "can not change domainname during remount".
Steps to reproduce:
1. Mount with domainauto (no explicit domain= option):
mount -t cifs //server/share /mnt \
-o username=u,password=p,domainauto
At this point ctx->domainname is NULL, but the server populates
ses->domainName (e.g. "CORP") during session setup.
2. Bare remount (or any remount):
mount -o remount /mnt
libmount reads /proc/mounts, sees domain=CORP (output by
cifs_show_options() from ses->domainName), and feeds it back
to the kernel. The kernel parses domain=CORP into
new_ctx->domainname="CORP", but old ctx->domainname is still
NULL. smb3_verify_reconfigure_ctx() sees the mismatch and
rejects the remount.
This affects any server that populates ses->domainName during session
setup (Active Directory domain controllers, Azure Files) when the
admin uses domainauto instead of an explicit domain= option.
Fix this by syncing ctx->domainname from ses->domainName in
smb3_sync_ctx_from_negotiated() before the verify check runs.
