smb: smbdirect: introduce the basic smbdirect.ko 2026-04-16T02:58:20+00:00 Stefan Metzmacher metze@samba.org 2025-07-18T16:44:15+00:00 f9a804da479cc41172f1039b4ffde06a09920506 This exports the functions needed by cifs.ko and ksmbd.ko. It doesn't yet provide a generic socket layer, but it is a good start to introduce that on top. It will be much easier after Davids refactoring using MSG_SPLICE_PAGES, will make it easier to use the socket layer without an additional copy.

smb: Use arc4 library instead of duplicate arc4 code 2025-09-30T02:21:23+00:00 Eric Biggers ebiggers@kernel.org 2025-09-07T03:20:03+00:00 8e979aab34d766986f6d14f50cebf5f5dd87ab8e fs/smb/common/cifs_arc4.c has an implementation of ARC4, but a copy of this same code is also present in lib/crypto/arc4.c to serve the other users of this legacy algorithm in the kernel. Remove the duplicate implementation in fs/smb/, which seems to have been added because of a misunderstanding, and just use the lib/crypto/ one.
