you could try "smbcontrol close-share" command (see man smbcontrol)


       close-share
            Order smbd to close the client connections to the named
share. Note that this doesn't affect client connections to any other
shares. This
            message-type takes an argument of the share name for which
client connections will be closed, or the "*" character which will close
all currently
            open shares. This may be useful if you made changes to the
access controls on the share. This message can only be sent to smbd.
