This large series has been in ksmbd-for-next for about a week but had been going through testing for longer, and most of the changes are fairly narrowly scoped to the new smbdirect (rdma) module and much are small incremental patches for the moving to common code for smbdirect (from server and client).  There are at least three devs independently running (xfstests etc) tests against it and test results have looked good so far.  Most of this smbdirect work is being driven by Metze so adding him to cc:

And there is a bunch of warnings from LKP about ksmbd tree:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/?q=ksmbd+f%3Alkp%40intel.com

and looking here:
https://github.com/smfrench/smb3-kernel/commits/ksmbd-for-next/

I see entire page of commits "committed 11 hours ago", so this entire work might have never been in the next for this cycle thus never actually integration tested?

I think this tree was requested to be added just a day before, so might have the same problem - lack of wider build exposure.

Best regards,
