[cifs-protocol] Send oplock breaks unencrypted, as lease breaks are sent plain?

Hi!

Testing leases and oplocks against Windows 8 over encrypted smb3 I
see that I get lease breaks in plain text, unencrypted, but oplock
breaks are sent encrypted by Windows 8. Samba does the same, however a
Windows 8 client seems very unhappy with our unencrypted oplock breaks,
it just seems not to respect them. If we modify Samba to send oplock
breaks unencrypted, Windows 8 client is happily downgrading the oplock,
everything is fine.

Where in the documentation can I find what is correct? And, where is
the bug? Client or server?

If required, I can provide network traces.

With best regards,

Volker Lendecke
