[PATCH 3/9] smb: client: sync tcon-level options on remount
From: rajasimandalos
Date: Thu Apr 09 2026 - 06:04:07 EST
From: Rajasi Mandal <rajasimandal@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Several mount options are stored on each cifs_tcon at mount time but
smb3_reconfigure() only updates cifs_sb->ctx. A remount that changes
any of these options silently has no effect because the runtime code
reads from the tcon fields, not from the superblock context.
The affected options and their tcon fields are:
retry -> tcon->retry
max_cached_dirs -> tcon->max_cached_dirs
Add smb3_sync_tcon_opts() which walks the tlink_tree under
tlink_tree_lock and propagates these values from ctx to every tcon
under tc_lock. Call it from smb3_reconfigure() after the context has
been updated.
