[ cifsd: introduce SMB3 kernel server"
Is it to be Linux policy that it will give in-kernel support for only for smb3, or is it planned to move the rest of the proto into the kernel as well? It sorta seems like earlier parts of the protocol, still dominant on home networks, though it seems linux not supporting all of linux's smb devices, from smb2.1 and before. I'm sure those clients would benefit as well, being kernel services could allow for a lower latency with potentially faster response time from being a kernel service instead of user-mode client? Is that also planned? Isn't the base of an smb3 server the same functions of an smb2.x server with the new smb3 extensions? Thanks!
