server support for Linux and many other operating systems). Limited
support for OS/2 and Windows ME and similar servers is provided as
well.
The cifs module provides an advanced network file system
client for mounting to CIFS compliant servers. It includes
support for DFS (hierarchical name space), secure per-user
session establishment via Kerberos or NTLM or NTLMv2,
safe distributed caching (oplock), optional packet
signing, Unicode and other internationalization improvements.
If you need to mount to Samba or Windows from this machine, say Y.
config CIFS_STATS
bool "CIFS statistics"
depends on CIFS
help
Enabling this option will cause statistics for each server share
mounted by the cifs client to be displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/Stats
config CIFS_STATS2
bool "Extended statistics"
depends on CIFS_STATS
help
Enabling this option will allow more detailed statistics on SMB
request timing to be displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData and also
allow optional logging of slow responses to dmesg (depending on the
value of /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI, see fs/cifs/README for more details).
These additional statistics may have a minor effect on performance
and memory utilization.
Unless you are a developer or are doing network performance analysis
or tuning, say N.
config CIFS_WEAK_PW_HASH
bool "Support legacy servers which use weaker LANMAN security"
depends on CIFS
help
Modern CIFS servers including Samba and most Windows versions
(since 1997) support stronger NTLM (and even NTLMv2 and Kerberos)
security mechanisms. These hash the password more securely
than the mechanisms used in the older LANMAN version of the
SMB protocol but LANMAN based authentication is needed to
establish sessions with some old SMB servers.
Enabling this option allows the cifs module to mount to older
LANMAN based servers such as OS/2 and Windows 95, but such
mounts may be less secure than mounts using NTLM or more recent
security mechanisms if you are on a public network. Unless you
have a need to access old SMB servers (and are on a private
network) you probably want to say N. Even if this support
is enabled in the kernel build, LANMAN authentication will not be
used automatically. At runtime LANMAN mounts are disabled but
can be set to required (or optional) either in
/proc/fs/cifs (see fs/cifs/README for more detail) or via an
option on the mount command. This support is disabled by
default in order to reduce the possibility of a downgrade
attack.
If unsure, say N.
config CIFS_UPCALL
DNS: Separate out CIFS DNS Resolver code Separate out the DNS resolver key type from the CIFS filesystem into its own module so that it can be made available for general use, including the AFS filesystem module. This facility makes it possible for the kernel to upcall to userspace to have it issue DNS requests, package up the replies and present them to the kernel in a useful form. The kernel is then able to cache the DNS replies as keys can be retained in keyrings. Resolver keys are of type "dns_resolver" and have a case-insensitive description that is of the form "[<type>:]<domain_name>". The optional <type> indicates the particular DNS lookup and packaging that's required. The <domain_name> is the query to be made. If <type> isn't given, a basic hostname to IP address lookup is made, and the result is stored in the key in the form of a printable string consisting of a comma-separated list of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. This key type is supported by userspace helpers driven from /sbin/request-key and configured through /etc/request-key.conf. The cifs.upcall utility is invoked for UNC path server name to IP address resolution. The CIFS functionality is encapsulated by the dns_resolve_unc_to_ip() function, which is used to resolve a UNC path to an IP address for CIFS filesystem. This part remains in the CIFS module for now.

help
Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by
the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page, or visit
<http://acl.bestbits.at/> for details). CIFS maps the name of
extended attributes beginning with the user namespace prefix
to SMB/CIFS EAs. EAs are stored on Windows servers without the
user namespace prefix, but their names are seen by Linux cifs clients
prefaced by the user namespace prefix. The system namespace
(used by some filesystems to store ACLs) is not supported at
this time.
If unsure, say N.
config CIFS_POSIX
bool "CIFS POSIX Extensions"
depends on CIFS_XATTR
help
Enabling this option will cause the cifs client to attempt to
negotiate a newer dialect with servers, such as Samba 3.0.5
or later, that optionally can handle more POSIX like (rather
than Windows like) file behavior. It also enables
support for POSIX ACLs (getfacl and setfacl) to servers
(such as Samba 3.10 and later) which can negotiate
CIFS POSIX ACL support. If unsure, say N.

CIFS: Introduce SMB2 Kconfig option SMB2 is the followon to the CIFS (and SMB) protocols and the default for Windows since Windows Vista, and also now implemented by various non-Windows servers. SMB2 is more secure, has various performance advantages, including larger i/o sizes, flow control, better caching model and more. SMB2 also resolves some scalability limits in the CIFS protocol and adds many new features while being much simpler (only a few dozen commands instead of hundreds) and since the protocol is clearer it is also more consistently implemented across servers and thus easier to optimize. After much discussion with Jeff Layton, Jeremy Allison and others at Connectathon, we decided to move the SMB2 code from a distinct .ko and fstype into distinct C files that optionally build in cifs.ko. As a result the Kconfig gets simpler. To avoid destabilizing CIFS, the SMB2 code is going to be moved into its own experimental CONFIG_CIFS_SMB2 ifdef as it is merged and rereviewed.

This enables experimental support for the SMB2 (Server Message Block
version 2) protocol. The SMB2 protocol is the successor to the
popular CIFS and SMB network file sharing protocols. SMB2 is the
native file sharing mechanism for recent versions of Windows
operating systems (since Vista). SMB2 enablement will eventually
allow users better performance, security and features, than would be
possible with cifs. Note that smb2 mount options also are simpler
(compared to cifs) due to protocol improvements.
