Add the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as base
Import the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as OPNFV kvm base.
It's from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git linux-4.1.y-rt and
the base is:
commit 0917f823c59692d751951bf5ea699a2d1e2f26a2

Prepare v4.1.3-rt3
Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>
We lose all the git history this way and it's not good. We
should apply another opnfv project repo in future.

New and improved versions of CIFS are now + called SMB2 and SMB3. These dialects are also supported by the + CIFS VFS module. CIFS is fully supported by network + file servers such as Windows 2000, 2003, 2008 and 2012 + as well by Samba (which provides excellent CIFS + server support for Linux and many other operating systems), so + this network filesystem client can mount to a wide variety of + servers. + + The intent of this module is to provide the most advanced network + file system function for CIFS compliant servers, including better + POSIX compliance, secure per-user session establishment, high + performance safe distributed caching (oplock), optional packet + signing, large files, Unicode support and other internationalization + improvements. Since both Samba server and this filesystem client support + the CIFS Unix extensions, the combination can provide a reasonable + alternative to NFSv4 for fileserving in some Linux to Linux environments, + not just in Linux to Windows environments. + + This filesystem has an mount utility (mount.cifs) that can be obtained from + + https://ftp.samba.org/pub/linux-cifs/cifs-utils/ + + It must be installed in the directory with the other mount helpers. + + For more information on the module see the project wiki page at + + https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/LinuxCIFS_utils |
