As this conflicts with ksmbd-for-next (and that's
a branch that's typically rebased every few days)
I'm wondering what that best way is to resolve that
problem.

Maybe we should have a fixed non rebased branch for the
smbdirect.ko patches in ksmbd-for-next, so that David
can rebase on that.

Or should Steve put this also into ksmbd-for-next?

Another possible way would be to skip this for now
cifs: Remove support for ITER_KVEC/BVEC/FOLIOQ from smb_extract_iter_to_rdma()
and I rebase my changes on top of Davids patches assuming they
will be stable commits (at least up to
cifs: Support ITER_BVECQ in smb_extract_iter_to_rdma())

Any ideas?
