option could be useful
 NOTE: This feature is available only in the recent kernels that have been 
built with the kernel config option CONFIG_CIFS_FSCACHE. You also need to have 
cachefilesd daemon installed and running to make the cache operational\&.

+Map user accesses to individual credentials when accessing the server\&. By 
default, CIFS mounts only use a single set of user credentials (the mount 
credentials) when accessing a share\&. With this option, the client instead 
creates a new session with the server using the user's credentials whenever a 
new user accesses the mount. Further accesses by that user will also use those 
credentials\&. Because the kernel cannot prompt for passwords, multiuser mounts 
are limited to mounts using sec= options that don't require passwords.

+With this change, it's feasible for the server to handle permissions 
enforcement, so this option also implies "noperm"\&. Furthermore, when unix 
extensions aren't in use and the administrator has not overriden ownership 
using the uid= or gid= options, ownership of files is presented as the current 
user accessing the share\&.
