There are cases where a session is disconnected and password has changed on the server (or expired) for this user and this currently can not be fixed without unmount and mounting again. This patch allows remount to change the password (for the non Kerberos case, Kerberos ticket refresh is handled differently) when the session is disconnected and the user can not reconnect due to still using old password. Future patches should also allow us to setup the keyring (cifscreds) to have an "alternate password" so we would be able to change the password before the session drops (without the risk of races between when the password changes and the disconnect occurs - ie cases where the old password is still needed because the new password has not fully rolled out to all servers yet).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
