Hi,
As part of the ongoing effort to remove the "cifs" nomenclature from the
Linux SMB client, I'm proposing the rename of the module to "smbfs".
As it's widely known, CIFS is associated to SMB1.0, which, in turn, is
associated with the security issues it presented in the past. Using
"SMBFS" makes clear what's the protocol in use for outsiders, but also
unties it from any particular protocol version. It also fits in the
already existing "fs/smbfs_common" and "fs/ksmbd" naming scheme.
This short patch series only changes directory names and includes/ifdefs in
headers and source code, and updates docs to reflect the rename. Other
than that, no source code/functionality is modified (WIP though).
Why did you not reply to Jeff Layton's concern before posting a v2?
Hm, I was pretty sure I did. Sorry about that, I got confused on how my
mail client organized the replies to the initial thread.
Replying to Jeff right now.
