Subject: [PATCH 00/18] SWN: Decouple witness registrations and tcons
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 11:16:19 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260710091637.58873-1-scabrero@suse.com> (raw)

This patches removes the cached tcon pointers from the witness
registrations.

First patch in the serie reverts the current approach based on snapshots
that fixes a race while processing a received notification. This
patchset implements a different approach based on reference counting and
fixes other races that could occur with concurrent
register/unregister/notification processing.

The witness registration stores now all required information to issue
register/unregister DCERPC calls (like auth info and target address),
and when a notification is received it applies it to all matching
witness-enabled tcons.

Each witness registration has its own task to enforce the registration
in case the userspace daemon is started after mounting the share,
instead of overload the echo task for this purpose.
