Yes, You can check github.com/cifsd-team/cifsd
tree(https://github.com/cifsd-team/cifsd/commit/0dc106786d40457e276f50412ecc67f11422dd1e).
And there is a cifsd-for-next branch in
github.com/smfrench/smb3-kernel for upstream.
I have made a patch for that git tree, but I haven't fully tested it yet...
I'm planning to send a pull request to Steve this week after doing it.
