In the SMB3/SMB3.1.1 negotiate protocol request, we are supposed to advertise CAP_MULTICHANNEL capability when establishing multiple channels has been requested by the user doing the mount. See MS-SMB2 sections 2.2.3 and 3.2.5.2 Without setting it there is some risk that multichannel could fail if the server interpreted the field strictly.
