Shyam Prasad N 0e4145774c cifs: during remount, make sure passwords are in sync 
[ Upstream commit 0f0e357902 ]

This fixes scenarios where remount can overwrite the only currently
working password, breaking reconnect.

We recently introduced a password2 field in both ses and ctx structs.
This was done so as to allow the client to rotate passwords for a mount
without any downtime. However, when the client transparently handles
password rotation, it can swap the values of the two password fields
in the ses struct, but not in smb3_fs_context struct that hangs off
cifs_sb. This can lead to a situation where a remount unintentionally
overwrites a working password in the ses struct.

In order to fix this, we first get the passwords in ctx struct
in-sync with ses struct, before replacing them with what the passwords
that could be passed as a part of remount.

Also, in order to avoid race condition between smb2_reconnect and
smb3_reconfigure, we make sure to lock session_mutex before changing
password and password2 fields of the ses structure.

Fixes: 35f834265e ("smb3: fix broken reconnect when password changing on the server by allowing password rotation")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
