smb: server: no longer use smbdirect_socket_set_custom_workqueue()

2026-04-16T02:58:24Z

smbdirect.ko has global workqueues now, so we should use these default once. Cc: Namjae Jeon Cc: Steve French Cc: Tom Talpey Cc: linux-cifs@vger.kernel.org Cc: samba-technical@lists.samba.org Signed-off-by: Stefan Metzmacher Acked-by: Namjae Jeon Signed-off-by: Steve French

smb: server: make use of smbdirect_netdev_rdma_capable_mode_type()

2026-04-16T02:58:24Z

This removes is basically the same logic. Cc: Steve French Cc: Tom Talpey Cc: Long Li Cc: Namjae Jeon Cc: linux-cifs@vger.kernel.org Cc: samba-technical@lists.samba.org Signed-off-by: Stefan Metzmacher Acked-by: Namjae Jeon Signed-off-by: Steve French

smb: server: make use of smbdirect.ko

2026-04-16T02:58:24Z

This means we no longer inline the common smbdirect .c files and use the exported functions from the module instead. Note the connection specific logging is still redirect to ksmbd.ko functions via smbdirect_socket_set_logging(). We still don't use real socket layer, but we're very close...

smb: server: remove unused ksmbd_transport_ops.prepare()

2026-04-16T02:58:24Z

This is no longer needed for smbdirect. Cc: Namjae Jeon Cc: Steve French Cc: Tom Talpey Cc: linux-cifs@vger.kernel.org Cc: samba-technical@lists.samba.org Signed-off-by: Stefan Metzmacher Acked-by: Namjae Jeon Signed-off-by: Steve French

smb: server: make use of smbdirect_socket_{listen,accept}()

2026-04-16T02:58:24Z

We no longer need the custom rdma listener. The code logic is very similar to transport_tcp.c now using a kernel thread that loops over smbdirect_socket_accept(). This is the first step in the direction of using IPPROTO_SMBDIRECT sockets in future.

smb: server: only use public smbdirect functions

2026-04-16T02:58:24Z

Also remove a lot of unused includes... Cc: Namjae Jeon Cc: Steve French Cc: Tom Talpey Cc: linux-cifs@vger.kernel.org Cc: samba-technical@lists.samba.org Signed-off-by: Stefan Metzmacher Acked-by: Namjae Jeon Signed-off-by: Steve French

smb: server: make use of smbdirect_socket_create_accepting()/smbdirect_socket_release()

2026-04-16T02:58:24Z

With this we no longer embed struct smbdirect_socket, which will allow us to make it private in the following commits.

smb: server: make use of smbdirect_{socket_init_accepting,connection_wait_for_connected}()

2026-04-16T02:58:24Z

This means we finally only use common functions in the server. We still use the embedded struct smbdirect_socket and are able to access internals, but the will be removed in the next commits as well.

smb: server: make use of smbdirect_connection_send_iter() and related functions

2026-04-16T02:58:24Z

This makes use of common code for sending messages, this will allow to make more use of common code in the next commits.

smb: server: let smb_direct_post_send_data() return data_length

2026-04-16T02:58:23Z

This make it easier moving to common code shared with the client. Cc: Namjae Jeon Cc: Steve French Cc: Tom Talpey Cc: linux-cifs@vger.kernel.org Cc: samba-technical@lists.samba.org Signed-off-by: Stefan Metzmacher Acked-by: Namjae Jeon Signed-off-by: Steve French
