Sean Shen cc57232cae ksmbd: fix FSCTL permission bypass by adding a permission check for FSCTL_SET_SPARSE
FSCTL_SET_SPARSE in fsctl_set_sparse() modifies the file's sparse
attribute and saves it through xattr without any permission checks.

This exposes two issues:

1) A client on a read-only share can change the sparse attribute
   on files it opened, even though the share is read-only.
   Other FSCTL write operations already check
   test_tree_conn_flag(work->tcon, KSMBD_TREE_CONN_FLAG_WRITABLE),
   but FSCTL_SET_SPARSE does not.

2) Even on writable shares, clients without FILE_WRITE_DATA or
   FILE_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES access should not modify the sparse
   attribute. Similar handle-level checks exist in other functions
   but are missing here.

Add both share-level writable check and per-handle access check.
Use goto out on error to avoid leaking file references.

Aleksandr Golovnya 2f15dcd0d4 ksmbd: release ksmbd_inode ref via ksmbd_inode_put on lookup paths
ksmbd_query_inode_status() and ksmbd_lookup_fd_inode() both take a
reference on a ksmbd_inode via __ksmbd_inode_lookup() (which performs
atomic_inc_not_zero()) and later release it using a bare
atomic_dec(&ci->m_count).  Unlike ksmbd_inode_put(), a bare
atomic_dec() does not check whether the reference count has reached
zero, so if the caller happens to drop the last reference, the
ksmbd_inode is leaked: it stays in the global inode hash table with
m_count == 0, future __ksmbd_inode_lookup() calls reject it via
atomic_inc_not_zero(), and ksmbd_inode_free() is never invoked.

The race is:

    T1: __ksmbd_inode_lookup()    -> atomic_inc_not_zero(): m_count = 2
    T2: ksmbd_inode_put()         -> atomic_dec_and_test():  m_count = 1
                                                            (not freed)
    T1: atomic_dec(&ci->m_count)                          ->  m_count = 0
        return                                            (LEAK)

In ksmbd_lookup_fd_inode() the matched-fp path (which now also uses
ksmbd_inode_put()) cannot currently reach m_count == 0 because the
matched ksmbd_file holds its own reference on ci, but converting it to
the proper API keeps the three call sites consistent and avoids
future regressions if the locking changes.

Because ksmbd_inode_put() may free the ksmbd_inode if this drops the
last reference, the call must happen after up_read(&ci->m_lock) on the
two affected paths in ksmbd_lookup_fd_inode().  On the no-match path
this is a pure reordering; on the matched path ksmbd_fp_get() is
moved above the unlock so that the returned ksmbd_file is pinned
before the inode reference is released.

Ali Ganiyev 0e60dafe97 ksmbd: OOB read regression in smb_check_perm_dacl() ACE-walk loops
Commit d07b26f392 ("ksmbd: require minimum ACE size in
smb_check_perm_dacl()") introduced a transposed bounds check:

    if (offsetof(struct smb_ace, sid) + aces_size < CIFS_SID_BASE_SIZE)

Since offsetof(..sid) is 8 and CIFS_SID_BASE_SIZE is 8, this evaluates
to `aces_size < 0`. Because `aces_size` is always non-negative, this
check becomes dead code and never breaks the loop.

Worse, that commit removed the old 4-byte guard, meaning the loop now
reads `ace->size` (offset 2) even when `aces_size` is 0-3 bytes. This
re-opens a 2-byte heap out-of-bounds (OOB) read past the pntsd allocation
during subsequent SMB2_CREATE operations.

Fix this by properly transposing the comparison to require at least
16 bytes (8-byte offset + 8-byte SID base), matching the correct form
used in smb_inherit_dacl().

Junyi Liu 3515503322 ksmbd: fix durable reconnect error path file lifetime
After a durable reconnect succeeds, ksmbd_reopen_durable_fd() republishes
the same ksmbd_file into the session volatile-id table. If smb2_open()
then takes a later error path, cleanup first calls ksmbd_fd_put(work, fp)
and then unconditionally calls ksmbd_put_durable_fd(dh_info.fp).

In this case fp and dh_info.fp are the same object. The first put drops the
reconnect lookup reference, but the final durable put can run
__ksmbd_close_fd(NULL, fp). Because the final close is not session-aware,
it can free the file object without removing the volatile-id entry that was
just published into the session table.

Use the session-aware put for the final reconnect drop when the reconnect
had already succeeded and the error path is cleaning up the republished
file. Earlier reconnect failures, before fp is assigned to dh_info.fp, keep
using the durable-only put path.

Jeremy Laratro 4b83cbc4c1 ksmbd: fix null pointer dereference in compare_guid_key()
session_fd_check() walks the per-inode m_op_list during durable-handle
session teardown and sets op->conn = NULL for every opinfo whose conn
matched the closing session's connection. The matching opinfo, however,
stays linked in its per-ClientGuid lease_table_list entry's lb->lease_list
because destroy_lease_table() only runs on full TCP-connection teardown,
not on SESSION_LOGOFF.

If the same TCP connection then negotiates a fresh session with the
same ClientGuid (ClientGuid is bound to NEGOTIATE, not the session, and
is unchanged across LOGOFF + SETUP) and issues a SMB2 CREATE with a
lease context on a different inode, find_same_lease_key() walks
lb->lease_list, reaches the stale opinfo, and calls compare_guid_key(),
which unconditionally dereferences opinfo->conn->ClientGUID. The conn
pointer is NULL and the kernel panics.

Reproducer requires only a successful SMB2 SESSION_SETUP and a share
configured with 'durable handles = yes'. KASAN report on mainline

Jeremy Laratro 904901561e ksmbd: fix null pointer dereference in proc_show_files()
When a SMB2 client opens a file with a durable v2 handle and then issues
SMB2 SESSION_LOGOFF, session_fd_check() clears fp->tcon = NULL on the

until the durable scavenger fires (up to fp->durable_timeout seconds
later).

During that window any read of /proc/fs/ksmbd/files (mode 0400) panics

Ferry Meng af92ee994c ksmbd: fix SID memory leak in set_posix_acl_entries_dacl() on overflow
Commit 299f962c0b ("ksmbd: use check_add_overflow() to prevent u16
DACL size overflow") added check_add_overflow() guards that break out
of the ACE-building loops in set_posix_acl_entries_dacl() when the
accumulated DACL size would wrap past 65535.

However, each iteration allocates a struct smb_sid via kmalloc_obj()
at the top of the loop and relies on the kfree(sid) call at the end
of the loop body (the 'pass_same_sid' label in the first loop, and
the explicit kfree at the tail of the second loop) to release it.
The newly introduced 'break' statements bypass those kfree() calls,
leaking the sid buffer every time an overflow is detected.

A malicious or malformed file with enough POSIX ACL entries to trip
the overflow check will leak one or more struct smb_sid allocations
on every request that touches the file's DACL, providing a trivial
kernel memory exhaustion vector.

Free sid before breaking out of the loops to plug the leak.

Shota Zaizen 996454bc0d ksmbd: validate inherited ACE SID length
smb_inherit_dacl() walks the parent directory DACL loaded from the
security descriptor xattr. It verifies that each ACE contains the fixed
SID header before using it, but does not verify that the variable-length
SID described by sid.num_subauth is fully contained in the ACE.

A malformed inheritable ACE can advertise more subauthorities than are
present in the ACE. compare_sids() may then read past the ACE.
smb_set_ace() also clamps the copied destination SID, but used the
unchecked source SID count to compute the inherited ACE size. That could
advance the temporary inherited ACE buffer pointer and nt_size accounting
past the allocated buffer.

Fix this by validating the parent ACE SID count and SID length before
using the SID during inheritance. Compute the inherited ACE size from the
copied SID so the size matches the bounded destination SID. Reject the
inherited DACL if size accumulation would overflow smb_acl.size or the
security descriptor allocation size.

Shuhao Fu a74668eb2c ksmbd: fail share config requests when path allocation fails
Non-pipe shares must have a duplicated backing path before they can be
published. share_config_request() currently calls kstrndup() for that
path, but if the allocation fails it leaves ret unchanged. If veto list
parsing succeeds and share->name exists, the partially built share is
still inserted into the global share table with share->path left NULL.

A later share-root SMB2 create uses tree_conn->share_conf->path as the
lookup root. If the share was published with path == NULL, that request
passes a NULL pathname into do_getname_kernel()/strlen() and can crash
the ksmbd worker.

Set ret = -ENOMEM when path duplication fails so the incomplete share is
destroyed before publication.

DaeMyung Kang bf736184d0 ksmbd: close durable scavenger races against m_fp_list lookups
ksmbd_durable_scavenger() has two related races against any walker
that iterates f_ci->m_fp_list, including ksmbd_lookup_fd_inode()
(used by ksmbd_vfs_rename) and the share-mode checks in
fs/smb/server/smb_common.c.

(1) fp->node list-head reuse.  Durable-preserved handles can remain
linked on f_ci->m_fp_list after session teardown so share-mode checks
still see them while the handle is reconnectable.  The scavenger
collected expired handles by adding fp->node to a local
scavenger_list after removing them from the global durable idr.
Because fp->node is the same list_head used by m_fp_list,
list_add(&fp->node, &scavenger_list) overwrites the m_fp_list links
and corrupts both lists.  CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST can report this on the
share-mode walk path.

(2) Refcount race against m_fp_list walkers.  The scavenger qualifies
an expired durable handle with atomic_read(&fp->refcount) > 1 and
fp->conn under global_ft.lock, removes fp from global_ft, then drops
global_ft.lock before unlinking fp from m_fp_list and freeing it.
During that gap fp is still linked on m_fp_list with f_state ==
FP_INITED.  ksmbd_lookup_fd_inode() under m_lock read calls
ksmbd_fp_get() (atomic_inc_not_zero on refcount that is still 1) and
takes a live reference; the scavenger then unlinks and frees fp
while the holder owns a reference, leading to UAF on the holder's
subsequent ksmbd_fd_put() and on any field reads performed by a
concurrent share-mode walker that iterates m_fp_list without taking
ksmbd_fp_get() (smb_check_perm_dleases-like paths).

Fix both:

  * Stop reusing fp->node as a scavenger-private list node.  Remove
    one expired handle from global_ft under global_ft.lock, take an
    explicit transient reference, drop the lock, unlink fp->node
    from m_fp_list under f_ci->m_lock, then drop both the durable
    lifetime and transient references with atomic_sub_and_test(2,
    &fp->refcount).  If the scavenger is the last putter the close
    runs there; otherwise an in-flight holder that already raced
    through the m_fp_list lookup owns the final close via its
    ksmbd_fd_put() path.  The one-at-a-time disposal can rescan the
    durable idr when multiple handles expire in the same pass, but
    durable scavenging is a background expiration path and the final
    full scan recomputes min_timeout before the next wait.

  * Clear fp->persistent_id inside __ksmbd_remove_durable_fd() right
    after idr_remove(), so a delayed final close from a holder that
    snatched fp does not re-issue idr_remove() on a persistent id
    that idr_alloc_cyclic() in ksmbd_open_durable_fd() may have
    already handed out to a brand-new durable handle.

  * Bypass the per-conn open_files_count decrement in
    __put_fd_final() when fp is detached from any session table
    (fp->conn cleared by session_fd_check() at durable preserve --
    paired with the volatile_id clear at unpublish, so checking
    fp->conn alone is sufficient).  The walker that owns the final
    close runs from an unrelated work->conn whose
    stats.open_files_count never tracked this durable fp; without
    this guard the holder would underflow that unrelated counter.

The two races are folded into one patch because patch (1) alone
cleans up the corrupted list but leaves a deterministic UAF window
for m_fp_list walkers that the transient-reference and
persistent_id discipline in (2) close; bisecting onto an
intermediate state would land on a UAF that pre-patch chaos merely
made less reproducible.

Validation:
  * CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST coverage for the list_head reuse path.
  * KASAN-enabled direct SMB2 durable-handle coverage that exercised
    ksmbd_durable_scavenger() and non-NULL ksmbd_lookup_fd_inode()
    returns while durable handles expired under concurrent rename
    lookups, with no KASAN, UAF, list-corruption, ODEBUG, or WARNING
    reports.
  * checkpatch --strict
  * make -j$(nproc) M=fs/smb/server

DaeMyung Kang a42896bebf ksmbd: harden file lifetime during session teardown
__close_file_table_ids() is the per-session teardown that closes every
fp belonging to a session (or to one tree connect on that session) by
walking the session's volatile-id idr.  The current loop has three
related problems on busy or racing workloads:

  * Sleeping under ft->lock.  The session-teardown skip callback,
    session_fd_check(), already sleeps in ksmbd_vfs_copy_durable_owner()
    -> kstrdup(GFP_KERNEL) and down_write(&fp->f_ci->m_lock) (a
    rw_semaphore).  Running the callback inside write_lock(&ft->lock)
    trips CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP / CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING on a
    durable-fd workload.

  * Refcount accounting blind to f_state.  The unconditional
    atomic_dec_and_test(&fp->refcount) does not distinguish
    FP_INITED (idr-owned reference still intact) from FP_CLOSED (an
    earlier ksmbd_close_fd() already consumed the idr-owned reference
    while leaving fp in the idr because a holder kept refcount
    non-zero).  When the latter races with teardown the same path
    over-decrements into a holder reference and ksmbd_fd_put() later
    UAFs that holder.

  * FP_NEW window.  Between __open_id() publishing fp into the
    session idr and ksmbd_update_fstate(..., FP_INITED) committing the
    transition at the end of smb2_open(), an fp is in FP_NEW and an
    intervening teardown that takes a transient reference and
    unpublishes the volatile id leaves the original idr-owned
    reference orphaned -- the opener is unaware that fp has been
    unpublished, returns success to the client, and the fp leaks at
    refcount = 1.

Refactor __close_file_table_ids() to take a transient reference on fp
and unpublish fp from the session idr *under ft->lock* before calling
skip() outside the lock.  A transient ref protects lifetime but not
concurrent field mutation, so the idr_remove() is what keeps
__ksmbd_lookup_fd() through this session's idr from granting a new
ksmbd_fp_get() reference to an fp whose fp->conn / fp->tcon /
fp->volatile_id / op->conn / lock_list links are about to be rewritten
by session_fd_check().  Durable reconnect is unaffected because it
reaches fp through the global durable table (ksmbd_lookup_durable_fd
-> global_ft).

Decide n_to_drop together with any FP_INITED -> FP_CLOSED transition
under ft->lock so teardown and ksmbd_close_fd() never both consume the
idr-owned reference.  See ksmbd_mark_fp_closed() for the per-state
accounting.  For the FP_NEW path to be safe, the opener has to learn
that fp was unpublished: ksmbd_update_fstate() now returns -ENOENT
when an FP_NEW -> FP_INITED transition finds f_state already advanced
or the volatile id cleared (both committed by teardown under
ft->lock); smb2_open() propagates that as STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_INVALID
and drops the original reference via ksmbd_fd_put().

The list removal cannot be left for a deferred final putter because
fp->volatile_id has already been cleared and __ksmbd_remove_fd() will
intentionally skip both idr_remove() and list_del_init().  Move the
m_fp_list unlink in __ksmbd_remove_fd() above the volatile-id check so
that an FP_NEW fp that happened to be added to m_fp_list (smb2_open()
adds fp->node before ksmbd_update_fstate() runs) is still cleaned up
on the deferred putter path; list_del_init() on an empty node is a
no-op and remains safe for fps that were never added.

Add a defensive guard in session_fd_check() that refuses non-FP_INITED
fps so that even if a teardown reaches an FP_NEW fp it falls into the
close branch (where the n_to_drop = 1 accounting keeps the opener's
reference alive) instead of the durable-preserve branch (which mutates
fp->conn / fp->tcon).

Validation on a debug kernel additionally built with CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST
and CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_WORK used a same-session two-tcon workload
(open/write storm on one tcon, 50 tree disconnects on the other) and
reported no list-corruption, work_struct ODEBUG, sleep-in-atomic,
lockdep or kmemleak reports.  Reverting only the
__close_file_table_ids() hunk while keeping a forced-is_reconnectable()
harness produced the expected sleep-in-atomic at vfs_cache.c:1095,
confirming the ft->lock-out-of-sleepable-skip discipline.

KASAN-enabled direct SMB2 coverage with durable handles enabled
exercised ksmbd_close_tree_conn_fds(), ksmbd_close_session_fds(),
the FP_NEW failure path, tree_conn_fd_check(), and a non-zero
session_fd_check() durable-preserve return.  This produced no KASAN,
DEBUG_LIST, ODEBUG, or WARNING reports.

transport struct leak -- for TCP, that is also the struct socket and
the kvec iov.

__free_opinfo() being a final putter is not theoretical.  opinfo_put()
queues the callback via call_rcu(&opinfo->rcu, free_opinfo_rcu), so
ksmbd_server_terminate_conn() can deposit N opinfo releases in RCU and
have ksmbd_conn_free() run in the handler thread before any of them
fire.  ksmbd_conn_free() then observes refcnt > 0 and short-circuits;
the last RCU-delivered __free_opinfo() falls onto its bare kfree(conn)
branch and the transport is lost.

A/B validation in a QEMU/virtme guest, mounting //127.0.0.1/testshare:
each iteration holds 8 files open via sleep processes, force-closes
TCP with "ss -K sport = :445", kills the holders, lazy-umounts;
repeated 10 times, then ksmbd shutdown and kmemleak scan.

    with patch        20          20        20       160        0

Pre-patch conn_free=20 with tcp_free=10 directly demonstrates the
bare-kfree paths skipping transport cleanup; kmemleak backtraces point
into struct tcp_transport / iov.  With this patch tcp_free matches
conn_free at 20/20 and kmemleak is clean.

Move the per-struct final release into __ksmbd_conn_release_work() and
route the three bare-kfree final-put sites through a new
ksmbd_conn_put().  Those sites now pair ida_destroy() and
free_transport() with kfree(conn) regardless of which holder happens
to release the last reference.  stop_sessions() only triggers the
transport shutdown and does not itself drop the last conn reference,
so it is unaffected.

The centralized release reaches sock_release() -> tcp_close() ->
lock_sock_nested() (might_sleep) from every final putter, including
__free_opinfo() invoked from an RCU softirq callback, which trips
CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP.  Defer the release to a dedicated
ksmbd_conn_wq workqueue so ksmbd_conn_put() is safe from any
non-sleeping context.

Make ksmbd_file own a strong connection reference while fp->conn is
non-NULL so durable-preserve and final-close paths cannot dereference
a stale connection.  ksmbd_open_fd() and ksmbd_reopen_durable_fd()
take the reference via ksmbd_conn_get() (the latter also reorders the
fp->conn / fp->tcon assignments before __open_id() so the published fp
is never observed with fp->conn == NULL); session_fd_check() and
__ksmbd_close_fd() drop it via ksmbd_conn_put().  With that invariant,
session_fd_check() can take a local conn pointer once and use it
across the m_op_list and lock_list iterations even though op->conn
puts may otherwise drop the last reference.

At module exit the workqueue is flushed and destroyed after
rcu_barrier(), so any release queued by a trailing RCU callback is
drained before the inode hash and module text go away.

DaeMyung Kang c444139cb7 ksmbd: rewrite stop_sessions() with restartable iteration
stop_sessions() walks conn_list with hash_for_each() and, for every
entry, drops conn_list_lock across the transport ->shutdown() call
before re-acquiring the read lock to continue the loop.  The hash
walk relies on cross-iteration state (the current bucket and the
hlist position), which is not preserved across unlock/relock: if
another thread performs a list mutation during the unlocked window,
the ongoing iteration becomes unreliable and can re-visit
connections that have already been handled or skip connections that
have not.  The outer `if (!hash_empty(conn_list)) goto again;` retry
masks the symptom in the common case but does not address the
unsafe iteration itself.

Reframe the loop so it never relies on iterator state across
unlock/relock.  Under conn_list_lock held for read, pick the first
connection whose ->shutdown() has not yet been issued by this path,
pin it by taking an extra reference, record that fact on the
connection and mark it EXITING while still inside the locked walk,
then drop the lock.  Then call ->shutdown() outside the lock, drop
the pin (freeing the connection if the handler already released its
reference), and restart from the top.

Use a new per-connection flag, conn->stop_called, as the "shutdown
issued from stop_sessions()" marker rather than reusing the status
state.  ksmbd_conn_set_exiting() is also invoked by
ksmbd_sessions_deregister() on sibling channels of a multichannel
session without issuing a transport shutdown, so treating
KSMBD_SESS_EXITING as "already handled here" would skip connections
that still need shutdown() to wake their handler out of recv(),
leaving the outer retry waiting indefinitely for the hash to drain.
stop_sessions() is serialised by init_lock in
ksmbd_conn_transport_destroy(), so writing stop_called under the
read lock has no other writer.

Set EXITING inside the locked walk so the selection, the stop_called
marker, and the status transition all happen together, and guard
against regressing a connection that has already advanced to
KSMBD_SESS_RELEASING on its own (for example, if the handler exited
its receive loop for an unrelated reason between teardown steps).

When the pin drop is the last put, release the transport and pair
ida_destroy(&target->async_ida) with the ida_init() done in
ksmbd_conn_alloc(), so stop_sessions() retiring a connection on its
own does not leak the xarray backing of the embedded async_ida.

The outer retry with msleep() is kept to wait for handler threads to
reach ksmbd_conn_free() and drain the hash.

Observed with an instrumented build that logs one line per visit and
widens the unlocked window before ->shutdown() by 200 ms, under
five concurrent cifs mounts (nosharesock, one connection each):

  * Current code: the same connection address is revisited many
    times during a single stop_sessions() call and ->shutdown() is
    invoked well beyond the number of live connections before the
    hash finally drains.

  * Rewritten code: each live connection produces exactly one
    ->shutdown() call; the function returns as soon as the hash is
    empty.

Functional teardown via `ksmbd.control --shutdown` with the same
five mounts completes cleanly on the rewritten path.

Performance is observably unchanged.  Tearing down N concurrent
nosharesock cifs connections with `ksmbd.control --shutdown` +
`rmmod ksmbd` takes essentially the same wall time before and after
the rewrite:

    N        before        after
    10       4.93s         5.34s
    30       7.34s         7.03s
    50       7.31s         7.01s     (3-run avg: 7.04s vs 7.25s)
   100       6.98s         6.78s
   200       6.77s         6.89s

and the number of ->shutdown() calls equals the number of live
connections on both paths when the race is not widened.  The
teardown is dominated by the msleep(100)-based outer retry waiting
for handler threads to run ksmbd_conn_free(), not by the iteration
itself; the restartable loop's worst-case O(N^2) visit cost is in
the microseconds even at N=200 and sits far below the msleep(100)
granularity.

Applied alone on top of ksmbd-for-next-next, this patch does not
introduce a new leak site.  Under the same reproducer (10x
concurrent-holders + ss -K + ksmbd.control --shutdown + rmmod), the
tree still shows the pre-existing per-connection transport leak
count that arises when the last refcount drop lands in one of
ksmbd_conn_r_count_dec(), __free_opinfo() or session_fd_check() -
all of which end with a bare kfree() today.  kmemleak backtraces
for the unreferenced objects point into the TCP accept path
(sk_clone -> inet_csk_clone_lock, sock_alloc_inode) and none
involve stop_sessions().  Plugging those bare-kfree sites is the
responsibility of the follow-up patch.

Marios Makassikis 5efb579e0d smb: server: stop sending fake security descriptors

the code is currently wrong, as DACL_PROTECTED is set in the type field,

instead of faking a security, report a STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED error.

this seems to fix a "Error 0x80090006: Invalid Signature" on file
transfers with Windows 11 clients (25H2, build 26200.8246).

capturing traffic shows that the client is sending a GET_INFO/SEC_INFO

(ATTRIBUTE_SECURITY_INFORMATION). Returning an empty SD
(with only SELF_RELATIVE set) does not fix the error.

Hyunwoo Kim b0da97c034 ksmbd: scope conn->binding slowpath to bound sessions only
When the binding SESSION_SETUP sets conn->binding = true, the flag stays
set after the call so that the global session lookup in
ksmbd_session_lookup_all() can find the session, which was not added to
conn->sessions. Because the flag is connection-wide, the global lookup
path will also resolve any other session by id if asked.

Tighten the global lookup so that the returned session must have this
connection registered in its channel xarray (sess->ksmbd_chann_list).
The channel entry is installed by the existing binding_session path in
ntlm_authenticate()/krb5_authenticate() when a SESSION_SETUP completes
successfully, so this condition is a strict equivalent of "this
connection has been accepted as a channel of this session". Connections
that have not bound to a given session cannot reach it via the global
table.

The existing conn->binding gate for entering the slowpath is preserved
so that non-binding connections keep the fast-path-only behavior, and
the session->state check is unchanged.

DaeMyung Kang 5d115fa840 ksmbd: fix CreateOptions sanitization clobbering the whole field
smb2_open() attempts to clear conflicting CreateOptions bits
(FILE_SEQUENTIAL_ONLY_LE together with FILE_RANDOM_ACCESS_LE, and
FILE_NO_COMPRESSION_LE on a directory open), but uses a plain
assignment of the bitwise negation of the target flag:

	req->CreateOptions = ~(FILE_SEQUENTIAL_ONLY_LE);
	req->CreateOptions = ~(FILE_NO_COMPRESSION_LE);

This replaces the entire field with 0xFFFFFFFB / 0xFFFFFFEF rather
than clearing a single bit. With the SEQUENTIAL/RANDOM case, the
next check for FILE_OPEN_BY_FILE_ID_LE | CREATE_TREE_CONNECTION |
FILE_RESERVE_OPFILTER_LE then trivially matches and a legitimate
request is rejected with -EOPNOTSUPP. With the NO_COMPRESSION case,
every downstream test (FILE_DELETE_ON_CLOSE, etc.) operates on a
corrupted CreateOptions value.

Use &= ~FLAG to clear only the intended bit in both places.

DaeMyung Kang 804054d198 ksmbd: fix durable fd leak on ClientGUID mismatch in durable v2 open
ksmbd_lookup_fd_cguid() returns a ksmbd_file with its refcount
incremented via ksmbd_fp_get(). parse_durable_handle_context() in
the DURABLE_REQ_V2 case properly releases this reference on every
path inside the ClientGUID-match branch, either by calling
ksmbd_put_durable_fd() or by transferring ownership to dh_info->fp
for a successful reconnect. However, when an entry exists in the
global file table with the same CreateGuid but a different
ClientGUID, the code simply falls through to the new-open path
without dropping the reference obtained from ksmbd_lookup_fd_cguid().

Per MS-SMB2 section 3.3.5.9.10 ("Handling the
SMB2_CREATE_DURABLE_HANDLE_REQUEST_V2 Create Context"), the server
MUST locate an Open whose Open.CreateGuid matches the request's
CreateGuid AND whose Open.ClientGuid matches the ClientGuid of the
connection that received the request. If no such Open is found, the
server MUST continue with the normal open execution phase. A
CreateGuid hit with a ClientGUID mismatch is therefore the
"Open not found" case: proceeding with a new open is correct, but
the reference obtained purely as a side effect of the lookup must
not be leaked.

Repeated requests that hit this mismatch pin global_ft entries,
prevent __ksmbd_close_fd() from ever running for the corresponding
files, and defeat the durable scavenger, leading to long-lived
resource leaks.

Release the reference in the mismatch path and clear dh_info->fp so
subsequent logic does not mistake a non-matching lookup result for
a reconnect target.
