That sounds ok, but I think it should be done separately from the
move. Keep the move as a pure move/rename, not "new things".
Also, when you actually do this cleanup, I think you really should just do
config SMB
tristate
config SMB_CLIENT
tristate
to declare them, but *not* have that
default y if CIFS=y || SMB_SERVER=y
default m if CIFS=m || SMB_SERVER=m
kind of noise anywhere. Not for SMBFS, not for SMB_CLIENT.
Just do
select SMBFS
select SMB_CLIENT
in the current CIFS Kconfig entry. And then SMB_SERVER can likewise do
select SMBFS
and I think it will all automatically do what those much more complex
"default" expressions currently do.
But again - I think this kind of "clean things up" should be entirely
separate from the pure code movement. Don't do new functionality when
moving things, just do the minimal required infrastructure changes to
make things work with the movement.
