Hi Greg,

Mounting SMB3 shares continues to fail for me on 4.4.118 and 4.9.84
due to the issues that I have described in detail on this mail thread.

Since there is no apparent fix for this bug on stable kernels, could
you please consider reverting the original commit that caused this
regression?

That commit was intended to enhance security, which is probably why it
was backported to stable kernels in the first place; but instead it
ends up breaking basic functionality itself (mounting). So in the
absence of a proper fix, I don't see much of an option but to revert
that commit.

So, please consider reverting the following:

commit 02ef29f9cbb616bf419 "SMB: Validate negotiate (to protect
against downgrade) even if signing off" on 4.4.118

commit 0e1b85a41a25ac888fb "SMB: Validate negotiate (to protect
against downgrade) even if signing off" on 4.9.84

They correspond to commit 0603c96f3af50e2f9299fa410c224ab1d465e0f9
upstream. Both these patches should revert cleanly. 

Thank you!

Regards,
Srivatsa
