Subject: Re: [Patch v2 13/19] CIFS: SMBD: Use registered memory RDMA read for
 SMB write

Note that Camel Case in cifs.ko source is largely used for protocol
definitions to match the official protocol documentation.  So we
expect Camel Case only where it is meant to express the **exact** name
of a field in the official specification of the wire protocol but
there may be some legacy code (unrelated to protocol wire format) that
still uses camel case - and that could be cleaned up with other
patches outside this series but is lower priority.
