CIFS client is currently able to parse NFS-style symlinks, but is not able to create them. This functionality is useful when the mounted SMB share is used also by Windows NFS server (on Windows Server 2012 or new). It allows interop of symlinks between SMB share mounted by Linux CIFS client and same export from Windows NFS server mounted by some NFS client. New symlinks would be created in NFS-style only in case the mount option -o reparse=nfs is specified, which is not by default. So default CIFS mounts are not affected by this change.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
