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
