This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled smb3: workaround negprot bug in some Samba servers to the 5.18-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: smb3-workaround-negprot-bug-in-some-samba-servers.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.18 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit e489d0d508b1be5dcaf7cdcfe787d0a434c4e4ae Author: Steve French <stfrench@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Jul 12 00:11:42 2022 -0500 smb3: workaround negprot bug in some Samba servers [ Upstream commit 32f319183c439b239294cb2d70ada3564c4c7c39 ] Mount can now fail to older Samba servers due to a server bug handling padding at the end of the last negotiate context (negotiate contexts typically are rounded up to 8 bytes by adding padding if needed). This server bug can be avoided by switching the order of negotiate contexts, placing a negotiate context at the end that does not require padding (prior to the recent netname context fix this was the case on the client).
