I'm with Ralph. CIFS is history that we need to relegate to the past. I also agree that wrappers around core memory allocators are to be avoided. Tom.

CIFS is history that we need to relegate to the past. Tom, and Ralph. Some background on the cifsd directory name: We discussed in length but we decided with cifsd to align with the current directory name cifs for the client. Just to align with current praxis defined by other filesystems, i.e. nfs. which has nfs for client, nfsd for server and nfs_common for shared cod and definitions. Once cifsd lands in the kernel I expect we will start building cifs_common for this purpose. An alternative would have been to rename the current fs/cifs tree to fs/ksmb but renaming an entire directory tree felt it might get pushback. In the end we thought that the module name, that is user visible and there it is important we call it smb3 something but the source tree is not end-user visible so it was less important what the name was. (the alternative ending up with fs/cifs fs/ksmbd and fs/cifs_common would have been terrible) regards ronnie sahlberg > > I also agree that wrappers around core memory allocators are to > be avoided. > > Tom.

kfree should be used to free memory allocated by kzalloc to avoid any overhead and for maintaining consistency.
