I'm sincerely hoping nobody used or depended on that old garbage in this day and age any more. Anyway, entirely unrelated question: you pretty much interchangeably use "cifs" or "smb3" for the filesystem, as shown once more by the commit messages here (but also the subject line). The filesystem directory is called "cifs", and I've taken to use that in my "Pull cifs updates" thing from you to just avoiding the confusion. And now we have ksmbd (yup, I just merged that pull request too), so we have a "cifs client" and a "smb server". Aaarrgh. I understand that some people may care about the name, may care about "smb2 vs smb3", or whatever. But I have to admit finding it a bit annoying how the code and the directory layout uses these different terms pretty much randomly with no real apparent logic. Somehow the NFS people had no problem completely changing everything about their protocols and then still calling the end result "nfs client" vs "nfs server". Oh well. I'm assuming it's not going to change, and it's not really a problem, I just wanted to mention my frustration about how clear as mud the naming is. Linus
