Currently, when a SMB connection is reset and renegotiated with the server, there's no way to update all related mount points with new negotiated sizes. This is because while superblocks (cifs_sb_info) maintain references to tree connections (tcon) through tcon_link structures, there is no reverse mapping from a tcon back to all the superblocks using it. This patch adds a bidirectional relationship between tcon and cifs_sb_info structures by: 1. Adding a cifs_sb_list to tcon structure with appropriate locking 2. Adding tcon_sb_link to cifs_sb_info to join the list 3. Managing the list entries during mount and umount operations The bidirectional relationship enables future functionality to locate and update all superblocks connected to a specific tree connection, such as: - Updating negotiated parameters after reconnection - Efficiently notifying all affected mounts of capability changes This is the first part of a series to improve connection resilience by keeping all mount parameters in sync with server capabilities after reconnection.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
