For a cifs multiuser mount with per > session limitation, this access should be denied accordingly. I think I understood. In terms of implementation each cifs mount stores a dictionnary mapping uid to TreeCon (it's the tlink rb-tree, see cifs_sb_tlink(), tlink_rb_search(), etc). I think it should just be a matter of storing the session id as the key in the tlink rb-tree instead of uid (we use fsuid actually). This way when a new session does a syscall on the mount, the lookup will fail, it will try to create a new tlink, and fail unless there is the krb stuff in the keyring. But are you sure root cannot "enter" an existing user session? I think I've done it for screen sessions in the past... If yes, would this make this per-session smb session pointless or is there still some value?
