With all the patches we have queued in the BKL removal tree, only a few dozen modules are left that actually rely on the BKL, and even there are lots of low-hanging fruit. We need to decide what to do about them, this patch illustrates one of the options: Every user of the BKL is marked as 'depends on BKL' in Kconfig, and the CONFIG_BKL becomes a user-visible option. If it gets disabled, no BKL using module can be built any more and the BKL code itself is compiled out. The one exception is file locking, which is practically always enabled and does a 'select BKL' instead. This effectively forces CONFIG_BKL to be enabled until we have solved the fs/lockd mess and can apply the patch that removes the BKL from fs/locks.c. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

SMB (Server Message Block) is the protocol Windows for Workgroups
|
|
(WfW), Windows 95/98, Windows NT and OS/2 Lan Manager use to share
|
|
files and printers over local networks. Saying Y here allows you to
|
|
mount their file systems (often called "shares" in this context) and
|
|
access them just like any other Unix directory. Currently, this
|
|
works only if the Windows machines use TCP/IP as the underlying
|
|
transport protocol, and not NetBEUI. For details, read
|
|
<file:Documentation/filesystems/smbfs.txt> and the SMB-HOWTO,
|
|
available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
|
|
|
|
Note: if you just want your box to act as an SMB *server* and make
|
|
files and printing services available to Windows clients (which need
|
|
to have a TCP/IP stack), you don't need to say Y here; you can use
|
|
the program SAMBA (available from <ftp://ftp.samba.org/pub/samba/>)
|
|
for that.

General information about how to connect Linux, Windows machines and
|
|
Macs is on the WWW at <http://www.eats.com/linux_mac_win.html>.

To compile the SMB support as a module, choose M here:
|
|
the module will be called smbfs. Most people say N, however.

config SMB_NLS_DEFAULT

bool "Use a default NLS"

help
|
|
Enabling this will make smbfs use nls translations by default. You
|
|
need to specify the local charset (CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT) in the nls
|
|
settings and you need to give the default nls for the SMB server as
|
|
CONFIG_SMB_NLS_REMOTE.
|
|
|
|
The nls settings can be changed at mount time, if your smbmount
|
|
supports that, using the codepage and iocharset parameters.
|
|
|
|
smbmount from samba 2.2.0 or later supports this.

This setting allows you to specify a default value for which

codepage the server uses. If this field is left blank no

translations will be done by default. The local codepage/charset

default to CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT.
