Following up on the email thread suggestion to move fs/ksmbd and
fs/cifs and fs/smbfs_common all under a common directory fs/smb, here
is an updated
patchset for that (added one small patch).


    1) smb3: move Documentation/filesystems/cifs to
Documentation/filesystems/smb
    As suggested by Namjae, update the directory for ksmbd/cifs.ko
Documentation.
    Documentation/filesystems/cifs contains both server and client information
    so its pathname is misleading.  In addition, the directory fs/smb
    now contains both server and client, so move Documentation/filesystems/cifs
    to Documentation/filesystems/smb

    Suggested-by: Namjae Jeon <linkinjeon at kernel.org>

2) cifs: correct references in Documentation to old fs/cifs path
    The fs/cifs directory has moved to fs/smb/client, correct mentions
    of this in Documentation and comments.

3)  smb: move client and server files to common directory fs/smb
   As suggested by Linus, move CIFS/SMB3 related client and server
   files (cifs.ko and ksmbd.ko and helper modules) to new fs/smb subdirectory:

       fs/cifs --> fs/smb/client
       fs/ksmbd --> fs/smb/server
       fs/smbfs_common --> fs/smb/conmon


Thanks,

Steve
