If both processes are Samba, the kernel oplock break
mechanism should not be involved at all. At least it is
supposed to work so that the oplock break is done with
messages between the smbds. Kernel oplocks are only for
interop with NFS and local unix processes. So if you're
seeing kernel oplock breaks for files just held by Samba,
Samba has a bug. If you can reproduce it, please file a bug
at bugzilla.samba.org and upload a debug level 10 log of
both smbd processes involved. Please also with "debug hires
timestamps = yes".
