I just rebased https://github.com/smfrench/smb3-kernel/tree/cifsd-for-next

results (and recent improvements) running Linux cifs.ko->ksmbd look
very promising.
I just looked briefly, but I'm wondering about a few things:
1. The xattr's to store additional meta data are not compatible with
Samba's way of storing things:
https://git.samba.org/?p=samba.git;a=blob;f=librpc/idl/xattr.idl
In order to make it possible to use the same filesystem with both servers
it would be great if the well established way used in Samba would be used
as well.
A thousand times this ! If cifs.ko->ksmbd adds a differnt way
of storing the extra meta-data that is incompatible with Samba
this would be a disaster for users.
Please fix this before proposing any merge.
