Just to summarize on what we wanted to discuss,

a) API level operations on a share:

1. Enable ransomware detection on share
2. Disable ransomware detection on share
3. Clear ransomware alert if a share has gone into ransomware_degraded/error state

b) Alert processing:

1. A background thread runs at regular intervals within the driver code where we would get ransomware alerts from the backend alletra array at regular intervals and send as user messages to the UI.

2. As part of this thread is it okay for us to query the manila db to get a list of all shares managed by this driver. (I noticed as a pattern db is not queried from the drivers). We would need this to know which shares are managed by manila and send only those alerts to manila UI.
