Subject: [PATCH] ksmbd: decrypt requests from expired encrypted sessions
Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2026 21:15:21 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260817121524.8812-9-linkinjeon@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260817121524.8812-1-linkinjeon@kernel.org>

Previous-session replacement marks the old session expired but retains its
SMB3 encryption key. An in-flight encrypted request can still arrive on
that connection. Rejecting the expired session before decryption made ksmbd
treat the request as a key failure and abort the transport, causing
reconnect failures.

Allow key lookup for expired sessions that have encryption enabled. Keep
the session reference during validation so the normal
STATUS_USER_SESSION_DELETED response is encrypted with the old key. The
session remains expired and no command is executed.

Fixes: fa9415d4024f ("ksmbd: mark SMB2_SESSION_EXPIRED to session when destroying previous session")
