+Mounting root file system via SMB (cifs.ko)
+===========================================
+
+Written 2019 by Paulo Alcantara <[email protected]>
+Written 2019 by Aurelien Aptel <[email protected]>
+
+The CONFIG_CIFS_ROOT option enables experimental root file system
+support over the SMB protocol via cifs.ko.
+
+It introduces a new kernel command-line option called 'cifsroot='
+which will tell the kernel to mount the root file system over the
+network by utilizing SMB or CIFS protocol.
+
+In order to mount, the network stack will also need to be set up by
+using 'ip=' config option. For more details, see
+Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt.
+
+A CIFS root mount currently requires the use of SMB1+UNIX Extensions
+which is only supported by the Samba server. SMB1 is the older
+deprecated version of the protocol but it has been extended to support
+POSIX features (See [1]). The equivalent extensions for the newer
+recommended version of the protocol (SMB3) have not been fully
+implemented yet which means SMB3 doesn't support some required POSIX
+file system objects (e.g. block devices, pipes, sockets).
+
+As a result, a CIFS root will default to SMB1 for now but the version
+to use can nonetheless be changed via the 'vers=' mount option. This
+default will change once the SMB3 POSIX extensions are fully
+implemented.
+
+Server configuration
+====================
+
+To enable SMB1+UNIX extensions you will need to set these global
+settings in Samba smb.conf:
+
+ [global]
+ server min protocol = NT1
+ unix extension = yes # default
+
+Kernel command line
+===================
+
+root=/dev/cifs
+
+This is just a virtual device that basically tells the kernel to mount
+the root file system via SMB protocol.
+
+cifsroot=//<server-ip>/<share>[,options]
+
+Enables the kernel to mount the root file system via SMB that are
+located in the <server-ip> and <share> specified in this option.
+
+The default mount options are set in fs/cifs/cifsroot.c.

+ IPv4 address of the server.

The experimental root file system support in cifs.ko relies on
ipconfig to set up the network stack and then accessing the SMB share
that contains the rootfs files.

Hi David,
This patch has already been merged into Linus tree. The other two (2/3
and 3/3) still need to be reviewed.
I'm not sure how this works when series touch multiple subsystems --
that is, these changes should go through your tree or Steve's?
Please let me you know if you need anything else.
Thanks!
Paulo
Please resubmit this series when the net-next tree opens back up, and also
with an appropriate "[PATCH 0/N]" header posting explaining what the patch
series is doing, how it is doing it, and why it is doing it that way.
Thank you.
