Yes, you can use the SMB Direct without Samba server.

Following are instructions for cifsd setup.
And cifsd utils and a detailed description can be found in
https://github.com/cifsd-team/cifsd-tools

-  Build and install cifsd kernel driver
modprobe cifsd

- Create user/password for SMB share
cifsuseradd -a <Enter USERNAME for SMB share access>
Enter password for SMB share access

- Create /etc/cifs/smb.conf file, add SMB share in smb.conf file
Refer smb.conf.example

- Start cifsd user space daemon
cifsd

- Access share from Windows or Linux using CIFS

Thank you.
