If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Asim Viladi Oglu Manizada commit 3da1fdf4efbc490041eb4f836bf596201203f8f2 upstream. cifs.spnego key descriptions contain authority-bearing fields such as pid, uid, creduid, and upcall_target that cifs.upcall treats as kernel-originating inputs. However, userspace can also create keys of this type through request_key(2) or add_key(2), allowing those fields to be supplied without CIFS origin. Only accept cifs.spnego descriptions while CIFS is using its private spnego_cred to request the key.
