I guess it might be related to smb3_handle_read_data passing
server->pdu_size to handle_read_data(), while server->pdu_size is
the outer size of the transform and not the size of the decrypted pdu.

Maybe receive_encrypted_standard() needs to reset server->pdu_size
during this:

         if (mid_entry && mid_entry->handle)
                 ret = mid_entry->handle(server, mid_entry);
         else
                 ret = cifs_handle_standard(server, mid_entry);

But this code is so overly complex, that's way to hard to understand...
