Subject: [PATCH] ksmbd: validate owner of durable handle on reconnect

Currently, ksmbd does not verify if the user attempting to reconnect to a durable handle is the same user who originally opened the file. This allows any authenticated user to hijack an orphaned durable handle by predicting or brute-forcing the persistent ID.

According to MS-SMB2, the server MUST verify that the SecurityContext of the reconnect request matches the SecurityContext associated with the existing open.
Add a durable_owner structure to ksmbd_file to store the original opener's UID, GID, and account name. and catpure the owner information when a file handle becomes orphaned. and implementing ksmbd_vfs_compare_durable_owner() to validate the identity of the requester during SMB2_CREATE (DHnC).

Fixes c8efcc786146 ("ksmbd: add support for durable handles v1/v2")

PATCH 1/2 ksmbd: fix use-after-free in __ksmbd_close_fd() via durable scavenger

From: Namjae Jeon <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 235e32320a470fcd3998fb3774f2290a0eb302a1 ]

When a durable file handle survives session disconnect (TCP close without SMB2_LOGOFF), session_fd_check() sets fp->conn = NULL to preserve the handle for later reconnection. However, it did not clean up the byte-range locks on fp->lock_list.

Later, when the durable scavenger thread times out and calls __ksmbd_close_fd(NULL, fp), the lock cleanup loop did:

    spin_lock(&fp->conn->llist_lock);

This caused a slab use-after-free because fp->conn was NULL and the original connection object had already been freed by ksmbd_tcp_disconnect().

The root cause is asymmetric cleanup: lock entries (smb_lock->clist) were left dangling on the freed conn->lock_list while fp->conn was nulled out.

To fix this issue properly, we need to handle the lifetime of smb_lock->clist across three paths:
- Safely skip clist deletion when list is empty and fp->conn is NULL.
- Remove the lock from the old connection's lock_list in session_fd_check()
- Re-add the lock to the new connection's lock_list in ksmbd_reopen_durable_fd().
