SMB3: Allow persistent handle timeout to be configurable on mount
Reconnecting after server or network failure can be improved (to maintain availability and protect data integrity) by allowing the client to choose the default persistent (or resilient) handle timeout in some use cases. Today we default to 0 which lets the server pick the default timeout (usually 120 seconds) but this can be problematic for some workloads. Add the new mount parameter to cifs.ko for SMB3 mounts "handletimeout" which enables the user to override the default handle timeout for persistent (mount option "persistenthandles") or resilient handles (mount option "resilienthandles"). Maximum allowed is 16 minutes (960000 ms). Units for the timeout are expressed in milliseconds. See section 2.2.14.2.12 and 2.2.31.3 of the MS-SMB2 protocol specification for more information.
