Subject: [PATCH 3.16 184/328] cifs: connect to servername instead of IP
 for IPC$ share

3.16.62-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Thomas Werschlein <thomas.werschlein@....uzh.ch>

commit 395a2076b4064f97d3fce03af15210ff2a7bb7f9 upstream.

This patch is required allows access to a Microsoft fileserver failover
cluster behind a 1:1 NAT firewall.

The change also provides stronger context for authentication and share
connection (see MS-SMB2 3.3.5.7 and MS-SRVS 3.1.6.8) as noted by
Tom Talpey, and addresses comments about the buffer size for the UNC
made by Aurélien Aptel.

[bwh: Backported to 3.16: The IPC$ path is generated in get_dfs_path()
 in a rather fragile way. Rather than replacing all instances of
 ses->serverName here, switch to using kasprintf() so the new code
 is close to that used upstream.]
