One broader question: You move a lot of stuff from
smbd_server_connection to smbXsrv_connection, and I have
reviewed most of that already. If I understand it correctly,
smbXsrv_connection is going to be per TCP connection. Under
this assumption I ask myself whether it really makes sense
to migrate everything for SMB1 there that will definitely
only exist once per client machine, there won't be any multi
channel over SMB1. Also, it adds burden to every incoming
SMB2 TCP connection. First, there is negligible memory
overhead, but also from a clarity point of view I would like
to raise the question whether we need something that won't
ever have more than one instance per client machine. With
the smbXsrv_connection this is a bit blurred to me as a
casual reader of this.
