    SMB3: Add support for multidialect negotiate (SMB2.1 and later) · 9764c02f
    Steve French authored
    With the need to discourage use of less secure dialect, SMB1 (CIFS),
    we temporarily upgraded the dialect to SMB3 in 4.13, but since there
    are various servers which only support SMB2.1 (2.1 is more secure
    than CIFS/SMB1) but not optimal for a default dialect - add support
    for multidialect negotiation.  cifs.ko will now request SMB2.1
    or later (ie SMB2.1 or SMB3.0, SMB3.02) and the server will
    pick the latest most secure one it can support.
    
    In addition since we are sending multidialect negotiate, add
    support for secure negotiate to validate that a man in the
    middle didn't downgrade us.
