From dfd15c46a6c2cafb006183c0c14f07e59eee4ac0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Layton Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2008 11:32:59 -0400 Subject: cifs: explicitly revoke SPNEGO key after session setup cifs: explicitly revoke SPNEGO key after session setup The SPNEGO blob returned by an upcall can only be used once. Explicitly revoke it to make sure that we never pick it up again after session setup exits. This doesn't seem to be that big an issue on more recent kernels, but older kernels seem to link keys into the session keyring by default. That said, explicitly revoking the key seems like a reasonable thing to do here.
