[PATCH 1/4] ksmbd: advertise SMB2_GLOBAL_CAP_PERSISTENT_HANDLES
From: Yunseong Kim
Date: Sun Aug 23 2026 - 20:56:57 EST
Advertise SMB2_GLOBAL_CAP_PERSISTENT_HANDLES in the SMB2 negotiate
response when durable handles are enabled globally. This tells clients
that the server supports persistent handles, which is a prerequisite
for Continuously Available (CA) share functionality.
The capability is gated by KSMBD_GLOBAL_FLAG_DURABLE_HANDLE (controlled
by 'durable handles = yes' in ksmbd.conf) so administrators must
explicitly enable it.
