2019-09-16cifs: Add support for root file systemsPaulo Alcantara (SUSE)
Introduce a new CONFIG_CIFS_ROOT option to handle root file systems over a SMB share. In order to mount the root file system during the init process, make cifs.ko perform non-blocking socket operations while mounting and accessing it.

2019-07-31docs: fs: cifs: convert to ReST and add to admin-guide bookMauro Carvalho Chehab
The filenames for cifs documentation is not using the same convention as almost all Kernel documents is using. So, rename them to a more appropriate name. Then, manually convert the documentation files for CIFS to ReST. By doing a manual conversion, we can preserve the original author's style, while making it to look more like the other Kernel documents. Most of the conversion here is trivial. The most complex one was the README file (which was renamed to usage.rst). Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+samsung@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
