>+MS-DFS changes in the VFS
>+-------------------------
>+
>+This release changes set getting and setting of MS-DFS redirects
>+on the filesystem to go through two new VFS functions:
>+
>+SMB_VFS_CREATE_DFS_PATHAT()
>+SMB_VFS_READ_DFS_PATHAT()
>+
>+instead of smbd explicitly storing MS-DFS redirects inside
>+symbolic links on the filesystem. The underlying default
>+implementations of this has not changed, the redirects are
>+still stored inside symbolic links on the filesystem, but
>+moving the creation and reading of these links into the VFS
>+as first-class functions now allows alternate methods of
>+storing them (maybe in extended attributes) for OEMs who
>+don't want to mis-use filesystem symbolic links in this
>+way.
