    [CIFS] Add IPv6 support · 5858ae44
    Steve French authored
    IPv6 support was started a few years ago in the cifs client, but lacked a
    kernel helper function for parsing the ascii form of the ipv6 address. Now
    that that is added (and now IPv6 is the default that some OS use now) it
    was fairly easy to finish  the cifs ipv6 support.  This  requires that
    CIFS_EXPERIMENTAL be enabled and (at least until the mount.cifs module is
    modified to use a new ipv6 friendly call instead of gethostbyname) and the
    ipv6 address be passed on the mount as "ip=" mount option.
