Hi Ralph:
In an upcoming release, the MS-SMB2 will have the following 
modifications/changes:

3.3.4.6 Object Store Indicates an Oplock Break
=======================================

Old verbiage
-----------------
If Open.IsDurable is TRUE and the notification could not be sent on any 
connection, the server MUST complete the oplock break from the underlying 
object store with SMB2_OPLOCK_LEVEL_NONE as the new oplock level and MUST set 
Open.OplockLevel to SMB2_OPLOCK_LEVEL_NONE and Open.OplockState to None. The 
server MUST close the Open as specified in section 3.3.4.17.
------------------

Please let me know if this does not answer your question.

Also let me know if this removes your objection that you expressed below.

oplock not protected from contending open with write access -

Hi Obaid,

ok, thanks, that explains one part of the behavioral difference compared to 
leases.

The more serious one is: isn't this violating MS-SMB2 3.3.5.9 Receiving an SMB2 
CREATE Request footnote 300?

    If Open.ClientGuid is not equal to the ClientGuid of the connection
    that received this request, Open.Lease.LeaseState is equal to RWH,
    or Open.OplockLevel is equal to SMB2_OPLOCK_LEVEL_BATCH, Windows-based
    servers will attempt to break the lease/oplock and return
    STATUS_PENDING to process the create request asynchronously.
    Otherwise, if Open.Lease.LeaseState does not include
    SMB2_LEASE_HANDLE_CACHING and Open.OplockLevel is not equal to
    SMB2_OPLOCK_LEVEL_BATCH, Windows-based servers return
    STATUS_FILE_NOT_AVAILABLE.

So in my overall understanding, in this scenario could either directly fail 
with STATUS_FILE_NOT_AVAILABLE, or it could process request asynchronously and 
return STATUS_PENDING.

But just discarding the batch oplock and succeeding the contending open looks 
like a serious bug.

Thanks!
