Subject: [PATCH 05/18] smb:client: Add a specific task to refresh witness registrations
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 11:16:24 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260710091637.58873-6-scabrero@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260710091637.58873-1-scabrero@suse.com>
Instead of overload the echo task, create a delayed work for each
registration.
Signed-off-by: Samuel Cabrero <scabrero@suse.com>
