[PATCH 1/8] smb: Update comments about some reparse point tags
From: Pali Rohár
Date: Sat Sep 28 2024 - 18:01:01 EST
NFS-style reparse points are recognized only by the Windows NFS server 2012
and new. Windows 8 does not contain Windows NFS server, so these reparse
points are not used on Windows 8.
Reparse points with IO_REPARSE_TAG_AF_UNIX tag were primarily introduced for
native Win32 AF_UNIX sockets and later were re-used by also by WSL:
