Re: [PATCH linux-next] cifs: Cleanup and clarify CalcNTLMv2_response()

Tim,

Since when a NTLMv2 response is sent, contains a
session key, hmac-md5 digest, and the blob,
the offset has  + 8 to include 16 bytes of hmac-md5 digest.
hmac-md5 digest is based on 8 bytes of server challenge
and the blob.
So hmac-md5 digest (output) overwrites total 16 bytes in overall
ntlmv2 response after session key and is followed by the blob.

At this point in time, we are dealing with the opaque data, so casting those
16 bytes (after session key and before the blob) as ntlmv2_response
structure does not appear correct and can be confusing.

Regards,

Shirish
