[cifs-protocol] 2311070040009927 [MS-SWN] section 3.2.4.3 after Tree disconnect

[Sreekanth Nadendla]

Hi Metze, from my testing (with Win 22 server acting as client),  I always see witness unregister event after Tree disconnect. Please share your thoughts.



3.2.5.6 Receiving an SMB2 TREE_DISCONNECT Response

   ... If Connection.Dialect belongs to the SMB 3.x dialect family and if
   Session.TreeConnectTable is empty in all sessions in the Connection.SessionTable
   for which Connection.ServerName matches the server name, the client SHOULD
   invoke the event as specified in [MS-SWN] section 3.2.4.3.

Question 4:
I don't see this happening from a Windows Server 2022 acting as client.
The witness registration stays until a reboot.
There's also no new witness registration after a reconnect to
a different ip, which means that the smb connection and witness connection
may stay on the same server ip address, which means there's no benefit from it.
Can you please update this with a product behavior note reflecting
the reality with all Windows versions.


Regards,
